Making films that mark an achievement and motivate others to change
Picture this: the vast and windy, industrial port of Teesdock, UK. Shipping traffic comes and goes. Look carefully in between the giant cranes, huge vessels and towers of stacked containers and you see people, teams of skilled, hard-working people.
Green Shoots went to meet and film a team at the port who have changed the health […]

Making the most of film: a recent example
We make all sorts of films. Every client’s needs, location challenges, main messages and target audiences get us working creatively. That’s why we love it.
Choosing the best location for filming
The story may be partly office-based but desks, bookcases, filing cabinets and even the odd indoor plant do not make the best of backdrops. An outdoor […]

Time may lapse but we catch it
Interest in using film to share a story, illustrate a technique, inspire a behaviour change has never been greater. Using time lapse footage is a great way to condense a lot of activity into a short time frame. Our time lapse cameras are, right now, on barns, in factories and up trees capturing the scenes […]

lengths and heights to […] -

East Anglian FBA Jenny Pine wanted a film to showcase the work: invoices sent, farm bills settled, wages paid, records kept and business decisions based on accurate records. It’s a brilliant job: challenging, interesting, satisfying and worthwhile. […]

Up and Away: first Green Shoots sky shoot of the season
Film making can sometimes be about capturing that moment. But for some of our productions, the film is about the months in a business. It was great on a fine March morning to get out and about (with ground cameras) and up and away (with our drone) on the first shoot of the season for our […]

Watch to hear
It’s a remarkable thing that we often have to see in order to really hear. Engaging the visual sense can strengthen our capacity to hear a story – and remember and act on it. And it’s why Green Shoots are busier than ever producing films.
Getting Real
In East Africa, the innovative biopesticide and biocontrol company Real […] -
