Autumn brand film
Hi Ellis & Fern, really pleased to be making this with you. The workshop is the heart of it, so we will start there and let the showroom follow, and keep the whole thing as calm and unhurried as the furniture deserves.
Section 02
Scope of work
A two-minute brand film for the autumn collection, shot across two days: one in the workshop capturing the making, the joinery and the hands, and one in the Clerkenwell showroom once the new pieces are in place. The edit favours texture and patience over pace. Alongside the main film you get two vertical cutdowns for social and a set of stills pulled from the footage, all graded to match.
What you told us
- It should feel like the workshop sounds, not like an advert
- We want the makers in it, not just the finished pieces
- Something we can still use in two years
