Lewis cuts his teeth on Knead’s Must massage tool demo by Gavin Ricketts

We recently filmed a really fun video of The Kneader, the maiden product from our client KneadsMust. We were asked to create the video to be used as part of the Barclays Make One Small Step competition, which helps to support start-up businesses.

Our idea was to film an interview with the founder, Una Tucker and then to film The Kneader in action, giving a real, human response to the product. We also added elements to the film to specifically target the viewers of the competition entries, such as animated graphics.

When creating videos that are intended for a specific event, it’s always helpful to try and think long term. So to offer a great ROI, our approach was to rework the video, so that it not only served its purpose for the competition, but in the long run provided our client with real video evidence of customers enjoying her product. She can use this to show to potential buyers of her product at any meeting.

This was my first role as director and proved to be a very helpful exercise in improving my skills. We filmed in two locations, had to coach staff and customers into giving a great performance for the video and in the end our client was very happy with the video. I even managed to make a sneaky appearance in it myself!…



Stills shoot for KML by Gavin Ricketts

Earlier this year, we filmed a video for KML to demonstrate their cool massage tool. Well, things are going from strength to strength for KML, and they’ve now developed the tool and started to introduce different colours for the range.

We did a stills shoot for them to help promote the tool. They’re lovely to touch and hold. You slide your fingers through the holes, and then can massage using the various curves, points and edges. There’ s something simplistic and organic about them like smoothed pebbles, yet the plastic and colours makes them feel high tech and modern.

The shoot was fun because they’re translucent, so you can shine lights through them, and thankfully not polished so you’re not trying to hide reflections of lights or camera!



An easy day of filming… by Gavin Ricketts

Susana at work with JoSuana at workLast week we did the easiest-going shoot I’ve ever done. We were filming a massage video for a new tool developed by Una Tucker of KML. We had two cameras, one on a steadicam. Filming the steadicam footage did make me go a bit dizzy at one time as I followed Una’s rythmic movements

See all the photos from the shoot here!
