Cygnet
Sometimes a project comes up where all the stars align, ducks are all in order and any other analogy you can think of occurs.
Healthcare provider Cygnet, approached us to film something rather important for them to help with their staff development. This was one of those projects that took us all over the UK traveling many miles and was ABSOLUTELY worth it for the finished result.
We were tasked to produce a piece that discussed the issue of Safeguarding within Adult Care through the eyes and words of the service users. The voices that truly matter.
What’s important to note about this project is that every single statement is a commendation of the level of care provided by Cygnet. This was to reinforce the quality of care given and to highlight to Cygnet staff that they are on the right track when it comes to Safeguarding.
Dundee, Dunblane, Halifax and Bradford..
This project required us to film service users on both sides of the border in order for the video to help staff from both Scotland and the rest of the UK to feel included in the message being delivered. This is fantastic because the further North you go…. the better the opportunities for stunning aerial filming!
The main point of this video was to deliver the service users point of view of what they expected of staff members in regards to their care.
For this we chose to have the service users looking straight down the camera when delivering their statements to make the words really hit home, it worked so well and all involved did a great job.
What you see are honest and beautiful interpretations of how people want to be treated within the care setting.
I’m hesitant to go on about the process with this one as the final film is so powerful in regards to its messaging.
We filmed the truth and then built the film around it.

The guys at Creative Pie have been an absolute pleasure to work with, not just with filming sensitive subjects and interviews, but also with their extensive attention to details (sound, lighting, editing, colour grading, framing and so on). Even if limited by a strict brief they know how to get the best out of it. Will continue working with them on future projects.
