We’ve been working with Virgin Media over the past few months to make a series of films to help customers get the most from their broadband, phone and TV services. If you have a question, chances are these step-by-step films can help.
The Silver Line
We have just finished filming with Esther Rantzen’s wonderful new charity The Silver Line, which is dedicated to the needs of older people across the UK.
We were really touched by the work the volunteers do in helping to make isolated older people feel a little less alone. If you want more information about the work the charity does, do have a look at their website.
Genius
If you are trying avoid gluten but still want to make yummy food, then watch our latest film with Genius bread founder Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne for inspiration. Fish Pie..Yum.
Richard Rogers RA: Inside Out
Richard Rogers is one of the most influential architects in the world, responsible for some of the most radical designs of the 20th century, including the Pompidou Centre in Paris, Lloyd’s of London and the Law Courts in Bordeaux. The Royal Academy is currently hosting an exhibition called ‘Inside Out’ which looks at the ideas behind these pioneering buildings. We were asked to produce a film for the event with Pentagram director Marina Willer.
The Apartment
We were asked to create a film for The Connaught’s premier suite, the Apartment. We interviewed designer David Collins about his vision for this stunning penthouse.
Scream if you want to go faster
If you are building a supersonic car designed to break the sound barrier, you need a communication system that can keep pace with the demands of designing, building and testing it.
So Virgin Media Business has installed a 1GB fibre optic network at BlOOD HOUND SSC’s headquarters, giving the team of engineers the technology they need to share their success and educate the next-generation of scientists across the country.

Sustain Ability Challenge
We are working with Unilever this year to make films that tell the story of their Sustain Ability Challenge. 12 families across the country have volunteered to change their habits to reduce their impact on the environment and cut their household bills. If you click on the link below you can see the films we have made with Kathy, Adam and Antony who have all signed up for the challenge.
Down on the farm
This year we have been all over Europe with McDonald’s making films about their Flagship Farm programme, which highlights farms that go the extra mile when it comes to protecting the environment and considering animal welfare. This film is one of our favourites and features Ray Dempsey a farmer who has been producing beef to high animal welfare standards and controlling the farm’s impact on the environment.
Another true story
Our latest film for Virgin Media Business has just been released. THECUBE is an innovative organisation in Shoreditch, which is feeding the UK start-up revolution by offering an incubation space to fast-growth businesses and entrepreneurs. It’s giving businesses the space and infrastructure to share ideas, and by collaborating with Virgin Media Business it now has the technology to help put these ideas into action.
Back to school
Hammo the hamster took a starring role in the animation we have just produced for Future First. The charity helps state schools across England build an alumni, keeping former students connected with their old school to help inspire pupils about what they could go on to do. Hammo fluffed his lines, but he nailed the action sequence first time.
