Camera: Sony FS700 with Odyssey 7Q

The brief was to present the key findings of NIHR ARC North Thames evaluation on a ground-breaking app that identifies patients who are at risk of acute kidney injury. Our Director spent two half-days on location interviewing key participants as well as actual nursing staff at the Royal Free Hospital using the app. A particular challenge was the short time we had with the nurse and patient; we had 45 minutes to bring out the story.
The Young Commissioners model webinar trailer
Client: East London University
Camera: Sony FS700 with Odyssey 7Q
Date: October 2019
The brief was to advertise a webinar that sought to explore the benefits and process of the young commissioners model within healthcare. Our Director spent 1 day on location in Dudley interviewing key participants and staff. Using video in this context is perfect – it allowed us to capture the immediate reactions and feelings of the participants, it would be almost impossible to capture that detail and intimacy in static imagery or a report.

We used actors and interviews to bring the challenge to life, so making the solution more engaging and widespread.
