Filmmaking has advanced a lot in that time too, and we have adopted the changes as they have been introduced, embracing the digital transformation of the industry. Drone footage and animation now regularly feature in our finished product, something that would not have been possible without a huge time and cost attached to it, when we first started out.”

Our talented, hardworking freelance camera teams and video editors are a huge part of what has made the journey so enduring and successful. And, as we embrace the new chapter in our story, we are keen to continue to develop ongoing relationships with our clients, many of whom we have worked with repeatedly over the years. We thank them for their business and continued trust.”
