Celebrating our 11th year in business – We had a lot of fun with this one!

Turning 11 isn’t just about putting another year on the clock; it’s an excuse to do what we do best—tell a great story.


Following the success of our 10th-anniversary video (which helped us rack up views, start great conversations, and drive 20% growth last year), we knew we had to raise the bar. People buy from people. They want to see the human faces behind the camera, know you have fun doing what you do, and trust that you’ll go the extra mile when handling their brand.



So, how did we celebrate 11 years of film-making? By poking a little fun at ourselves and giving a nod to the place we call home.


The Concept: Mood, Drama, and a Love Letter to Suffolk

We wanted to showcase our storytelling edge rather than just stitching together a standard highlight reel. We landed on a Netflix-style, double-exposure intro sequence—a visually striking technique that blends dramatic studio portraits with atmospheric landscape shots.


Suffolk is packed with incredible spaces, so we used this aesthetic as a visual postcard to celebrate our local landscape, feature previous shoot locations, and thank the local businesses that have supported us along the way. To keep it personal, we embraced our inner geeks in the studio shots—nods to Star Wars for Nathan, and a replica Excalibur for me.


Adding the Secret Ingredient: Comedy

A slick intro looks great, but entertainment keeps people coming back. We built a comedic mini-sketch around the behind-the-scenes chaos of actually trying to shoot the intro. Exaggerating our personalities gave the video re-watch value while showcasing our end-to-end production process—from concept research and lighting design to complex double-exposure editing.



The Results (So Far)

Entertaining video creates attention, and attention creates opportunity:


·         Instant ROI: Within seven days of release, a former client reached out after seeing the video, wanting a similar concept for their own brand. We shoot it this coming weekend.


·         Multi-Channel Value: This single production is driving our social media campaigns, newsletter features, website "About Us" page, and trade show presentations.


High-quality video shows your clients that you take your craft seriously without taking yourself too seriously. Check out our 11th-anniversary video on our website now—and let’s talk about how we can turn your brand’s next milestone into an unforgettable story.
