We're Gold Award Winners!

November 14, 2023

We're so pleased to have been awarded Gold at the EVCOM London Live & Film Awards 2023.


Our submission in the category 'Best use of a Smaller Budget' for the King's College London video 'Geography' was awarded the top trophy on the evening amongst stiff competition.

The evening was also an excellent opportunity to view and applaud lots of great creative work from our industry peers.

The Brief

Their Geography course video on King's College London's website was dated and old fashioned. 


They wanted a brand-new, fast paced video fit for multiple social channels that added drama and captured attention in the first 15 seconds. It also needed to convey their USPs, explain that Geography wasn’t just about studying rocks, and inspire prospective students to study there. 

No small task. But we love a brief like this. 


This was an opportunity to do things differently. So goodbye standard talking heads, dry interviews, and dusty academics. Hello innovative, sharable, and visually interesting content!


King’s needed to feature multiple people in the video. In our experience, this means it’s tricky to secure a filming date when everyone is available. On top of this budget was tight.


So, we only had one day to play with. The solution was simple but so effective... audio. 


Over a one-hour session, we recorded everyone’s voices in conversation, giving us authentic soundbites on why they love the course, what they learn and how they teach. Gold dust for a narrative edit! We had successfully used this style for another King’s video:

The result was a complex topic that was fully explored, planned, and creatively executed in a visually and audibly arresting way. Plus, the beauty of an audio style like this is you can hear the authentic comments.


Visually, we wanted a text-driven accompaniment, so each shot looked different. We designed bespoke style frames using King’s branding and colours. To push this further, we also created stylised text elements and colourful watercolour effects. 


“I think the videos CH produced have great dynamism and creativity that brings the subject(s) to life in a compelling and engaging way, told in a way that is appropriate for the audience.”

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
