What we do

Photo: Windmills.

From a short film or a launch event, to an internal branding exercise or a social  responsibility programme, we produce films that are unique and engaging. Films that make a difference and get a response.

Listen

We listen. Because clients know their brand, and the messages they need to communicate. We use that knowledge to craft our films into stories that reach your audience, and relate to your brand.

Understand

We know our clients carry a large responsibility for the projects they commission. That's why our work is considered and informed, taking the right decisions to find your message and draw your audience in.

Communicate

We understand that people are inspired by films that they emotionally connect with. This is the principle at the heart of every project we undertake. Whatever the brief, we use our experience to create visually stunning films that communicate and engage your audience.

Borjomi

Purpose: Corporate & Social Responsibility Films
Client: BP
Length: 3 x 10.00 minute documentaries

The brief

BP needed to highlight their commitment to sustainable development in the sensitive Borjomi region of Georgia touched by the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline project, one of the longest pipelines in the world.

Our approach

Lonelyleap developed a groundbreaking series of documentaries, openly debating BP’s impact through conversations with local people and businesses. Shot over the winter and summer months, each film weaves together a collection of unique and touching stories which combine to reveal a refreshingly level-headed and open appraisal of BP’s involvement in the area.

The results

Showing these short films across cinemas in Georgia allowed a larger audience to understand the commitment and responsibilities BP had to the region.

It also allowed the wider communities affected to hear first hand the positive experiences of those who came into direct contact with BP and its employees.

The O2 Comes Alive

Title: The O2 Comes Alive
Purpose: Event Launch
Client: O2 / AEG
Run time: 5.20 minutes

The brief

After two years of intense activity, planning and constructing one of the nation's most controversial projects, global entertainment giant AEG wanted to capture the transformation of the Millennium Dome into The O2.

Our approach

Only by documenting the thousands of people involved behind the scenes and the rush of excitement in the final moments before the opening would the true enormity of the project be fully understood. With that in mind, Lonelyleap combined timelapse, live action and stills photography to weave a narrative that condensed the atmosphere, hard work and expectation of the final 24 hours into a captivating 5-minute film.

The results

An inspiring 5-minute film distributed across AEG worldwide that symbolised the efforts of so many, backed up by 5,000 special feature DVDs with a personal thankyou from AEG Europe's CEO David Campbell.

The film allowed AEG/The O2 to demonstrate to its founding partners the public's overwhelming response to the success of the venue right from the start. This footage was also part of a second film which represented the diversity of The O2 to prospective business partners. The film also aided the immediate sell-out of all of the 100 private suites at The O2.

Creative

From the initial storyboarding, through script writing and 3D visualisation, we employ some of the brightest minds in the industry to ensure that our films capture the imagination of your target audience.

Pre-production

For us, pre-production is about turning your creative vision into a reality, and we take that responsibility seriously. At home or abroad, we will take care of casting, locations, styling and props – arranging all the necessary logistics to smoothly steer your project into production.

Production

Our extensive production experience means that your shoot is in the safe hands of a fully scalable crew. With a wealth of technical knowledge drawn from assignments around the world, we are as comfortable with underwater photography and gyroscopic helicopter mounts as we are with a couple of handycams.
