Quilter - Paraplanner Week

Quilter Cheviot asked Bullet to create some fresh new films for ‘Paraplanner week’. A series of interviews and breakfast talks to deliver news and informative content to financial paraplanners. We decided to move away from a formal office environment and create a more ‘TV kitchen-style’, informal set up, to help the content be more engaging to the audience.

We rented a space in London for the shoot and set up different environments for different talks. This helped bring the content to life and the fresh approach was well received by the professionals who logged on each day to watch.

Here is a peak behind the scenes as to how the week’s worth of content was pulled together in a 2-day shoot.

Quilter - Your family’s tomorrow

We’ve enjoyed working on corporate videos with various teams at Quilter and Quilter Cheviot recently, and it was lovely to be asked to make something a bit different and create a narrative piece for them. They wanted to demonstrate how their personal financial advice service can help a family as it changes and grows.

‘Your Family’s Tomorrow’ was inspired by stories from real life clients. We used these insights to create a script, that followed the story of a client throughout her journey of life. We filmed this over two days with a small crew and worked with a great wardrobe and make-up artist to ‘age’ the actress through the years. It was a great challenge - even working with dogs! The end result was an emotional film, that helped demonstrate the importance of Quilter’s service for the whole family. Enjoy!

And here are some behind the scenes shots of the filming taking place:

Netpay Recruitment Drive

Netpay is a global infrastructure business that provides the technology for face to face and online payment services. They are a fast-growing company, who want to attract the top tech talent to come and work for them. As they couldn’t present at an open day in person this year due to the Lockdown restrictions, they asked Bullet to create a compelling recruitment drive presentation film to show why it’s such a great, exciting company to work for.

Planet Education Promotional video

Planet Education is a local company which has been established for around 20 years, teaching sports within schools. It’s a brilliant service, which inspires children and young people to lead active and healthy lifestyles and is a great opportunity for schools to outsource their PE lessons.

In normal times, Planet Education promote their services via live presentations and demonstrations at events, however Covid restrictions made this impossible this year, so instead they chose to present virtually. We filmed them in action and created various social media teasers and short film for their website to showcase their offering.

HP Music Studio launch

HP Music are a recording studio based in Ringwood who, during lockdown, took the opportunity to refurbish their space, ready to relaunch once artists were allowed to record again.

They contacted Bullet to find a way to retell their story, to remind existing and new customers of what they had to offer and showcase their new, flexible studio spaces. We filmed over two days, to show the various elements of the studio being used by technicians, artists and writers. We wanted to demonstrate how the space was good for audio and acoustics, as well as inspiring creative minds, and chose to go just down the visual route with sound design, rather than using a voice over. A lovely simple way to tell the story.

We worked with some really good artists and whilst we were there, shot a live acoustic session with a pop band, which will be released later on in the year, as well as a promo for Warm Audio, who supplied the sound equipment.

For HP Music, we supplied a teaser, which was released on social media the weekend before the main film was launched the following week. The studio was delighted with the opportunity to be able to re-engage with their customers and retell their company story.

“Bullet captured the very essence of our business that we have been trying to achieve for years. The synergy of Ben and Matt is unrivalled and their passion and attention to detail comes across in every shot. We allowed them to have complete freedom to capture what we could not see - and the results? Well they speak for themselves. Truly the most outstanding video that beat every expectation. ”

Lashings Shirt Launch

This is a great example of how we were given the briefest of briefs and had to quickly turn it into something interesting!

Lashings World XI got in touch with Bullet to say they wanted to do a simple piece to camera to announce a new competition, as well as a cricket shirt launch for 2020. We only had a small time and space to film, so did our best to expand on this, with the help of our spinning turntable, to create something visually more appealing.

Lashings were delighted with the result and the film has been shared widely on social media, with the competition - which offers the chance of winning a trip to Jamaica as a Lashings team member - quickly gaining momentum. To enter, fans simply have to purchase the new t-shirt; fingers crossed, if they sell enough shirts, we will be joining them in Jamaica to film the winner!

Kitty's Laundrette - a Miele Installation Testimonial

As part of the ongoing work with our valued client, Miele, we headed up to Liverpool to film the installation of a new commercial laundry by one of Miele’s reputable dealers, Goodman Sparks, showcasing the care and expertise that goes into the work.

We interviewed the owner of Kitty’s Laundrette and the team at Goodman Sparks, filmed the full 2-day process from delivery to installation and created content, focusing on the work that went into preparing and installing the full laundry service. The interviews provided the narrative to this testimonial / case-study film and the natural style of questioning teased out the benefits of this service. As we say time and time again, no-one sells your company better than a real-life customer - and this testimonial video is testament to that.

As part of the brief, we included a short teaser, trailer and the full 3-minute film, which allowed the company to use the video content across all of their marketing platforms.

Morse Security Films

Morse Security are a leading security company in Essex, who wanted to create a testimonial-style video to show the benefits of their home security products and installations.

They approached athlete, Iwan Thomas, who is well known for his super cars and gadgets, to do a feature on him and the security measures Morse had installed to keep his family home safe. As always, Iwan was a total pro - a natural presenter and great to interview. He was very positive about his personal experiences with the security firm, which made the testimonial film totally reassuring and credible for the viewer. No-one sells a company better than a satisfied customer, and Iwan Thomas was definitely satisfied!

We interviewed the team at Morse Security about the installation and filmed them on site at Iwan’s family home to provide the narrative to the film. After capturing footage in a few hour’s shoot, we produced the full corporate film package for Morse Security, including social media teasers and the full film.
