We worked with GeeYou to build up the creative concept for this video, finding a balance between the high production value, cinematic vision and the budget and timescale available. The turnaround for the project was tight with, with less than a month to get the video planned, shot and edited. The video is narrated by the voice of a 7 year-old child who is writing his wholesome letter to Santa, and this storyline leads the viewer around Guildford town centre, concluding in a festive, magical message to close on. We shot the video in one day, waiting until dusk to get the exterior shots, further elevating the ambience with the Christmas lights glistening in the background. With some advanced post-production techniques we added some extra sparkle to the edit and wrapped up the video with an emotive soundtrack. The video was a success with over 1.4k views on their Facebook feed!
Give the Gift of Guildford
As part of a collaboration of local stakeholders, Experience Guildford, Guildford Borough Council and GeeYou came together to create a Christmas video to encourage seasonal shoppers back to their local high street. The concept was to create an emotive, festive story, that showcases the local business community, with a cinematic "John Lewis advert" feel.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, one million times thank you! Looks absolutely marvellous. Everyone loves it and tears were mentioned - John Lewis eat your heart out." Olivia Kelly, Experience Guildford

Raven Housing Trust
Raven Housing Trust, located in Redhill, Surrey, is a leading social housing provider, overseeing the ownership and management of more than 7,000 homes. Their core mission revolves around investing in homes and neighbourhoods, fostering vibrant local communities that people truly desire to be a part of.
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council – Love Local
The Welcome Back Fund was provided to councils across England a share from the European Regional Development Fund to support the safe return of shoppers to high streets and help build back better from the pandemic. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council wanted to use some of this fund to embark on a video showcase of their town centres, celebrating local businesses.
Raven Housing Trust – Healthy Homes
Many housing trust tenants struggle with condensation, which often leads to mould and in turn creates a wealth of issues. Many of these issues can be prevented by educating customers on the causes of condensation. As such, Raven were looking for an informative and instructional video to pass to customers so they can watch engaging visuals rather than read a leaflet.
