Three commercials. Two shoot days. Ten-day production design lead time Precision filming on motion control meant meticulous planning of the production design from the start. To ensure the sets were centimetre-perfect, we built detailed 3D models of all three environments before working with the incredible MoCo team at G6 MoCo to recreate the camera moves exactly. Technical challenges included underwater camera work, custom prop builds and some very fast reactions to last-minute brief changes. My team were absolute stars. Huge thanks to the brilliant crews at The Gate Films and G6 — and to director Dominic O’Riordan and DOP Joe Douglas Set styling, design and build by production: @thegatefilms Production Designer: @sets.addict Elizabeth Melinek Director: @dominic_oriordan DOP: @joedouglasdop Moco: @g6moco #productiondesigner #immersive #tvcommercialshoot #setdesign #artdepartment

“Is it us, or is it roasting in here?” 🥵 Potato pun genius, to be fair. Simple, bold, and does exactly what it needs to do. It was great to be back in London with Andy Murray for @albert_bartlett , pulling together a full suite of stills deliverables. A proper collaborative effort with @elvisisdead_creative leading the creative, and a big shoutout to @willcorneliusphotography for capturing such a strong, standout image that’s sure to turn heads.

🍃 NEW WORK DROP 🍃 Nobody makes garden gear look cooler than @makitapt , which is why this film had to follow suit. Introducing the new “Feel Unstoppable” campaign, which launched across 27 markets across EMEA. In promotion of their leading battery-powered XGT range, Makita provides a sustainable alternative to petrol-powered tools with no emissions, maintenance, noise, or vibrations. With creative vision from @dentsu.creative and brought to screen by director @luc_reso_janin , our production team headed out to Portugal to set the tone. Picture this: the aftermath of a storm tearing through a local football pitch. Fallen trees, debris everywhere, proper gardening carnage. Luckily, no task is too tough for the Makita XGT, and this film highlights just how effortlessly the range makes light work of the job, all while looking undeniably slick 😎. A two-day venture featuring some of the most intricate camera rigging we’ve ever used, all to capture those striking slow-motion moments and close-up shots that really give the film its edge. Well done to everyone involved, this one's a gooden. ✨CREDITS ✨ CLIENT- @makitapt The European Makita Team AGENCY – @dentsu.creative CLIENT PARTNER – Simon Tyrrell EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR – Jason F.

🎨 NEW WORK 🎨 There’s nothing quite like that feeling of moving into a new place, equal parts chaos, excitement… and the sudden urge to impress. Our latest for @crownpaintsuk taps right into that. A playful, endearing take at getting your space (and yourself) looking sharp. With creative vision from our friends at @dinosauragency and brought to life by rostered director Elliot Simpson, this one’s got the perfect mix of humour, charm and a bit of heart. Shot in-house at @Foundry Film Studios, it’s built as a fast-paced montage. Wide angles, close-ups, and those in-between moments that capture the scramble of getting your home guest ready. And of course… the colour choice. We’re big fans of the final pick Vinnie went with, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.

🚨 NEW WORK 🚨 Another film from our road safety campaign for Northern Ireland’s @departmentforinfrastructure . With creative from the team @ardmoreadv and directed by @mjfdirector , this instalment tackles the dangers of speeding, particularly the kind of risk-taking that can feel harmless in the moment but carries consequences that last far longer. It’s a story about split-second decisions and the reality that the outcome is never worth the gamble. Shot on location in Northern Ireland with the same incredible crew and a full stunt team helping bring the action safely to life, the production demanded precision, coordination and a shared focus on telling the story with authenticity. Proud to have been appointed by @ardmoreadv to help bring another important chapter of this campaign to screen. ✨CREDITS ✨ CREATIVE AGENCY - @ardmoreadv EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR - Paul Bowen CREATIVE DIRECTOR - Glenn Irwin PRODUCTION COMPANY - @thegatefilms DIRECTOR - @mjfdirector PRODUCER - @joshboswell_work PRODUCTION MANAGER - @scarletmayes PRODUCTION COORDINATOR - @mel_deacon PRODUCTION ASSISTANT - @hannahportermedia PRODUCTION RUNNER - Lewis Faithfull 1ST AD - Darren Fee 2ND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR - Holly Carwell 3RD ASSISTANT DIRECTOR - Cillean Campbell FLOOR RUNNER - Annabel Harkness FLOOR RUNNER - Sam Halleron DOP - Alistair Little B CAM OP - Declan Ó Grianna FOCUS PULLER - Paul Christie B CAM FOCUS PULLER - Mike Lockhart CAMERA ASSISTANT - Lois Leneghan B CAM CAMERA ASSISTANT - Aaron Holden CAMERA TRAINEE - James Poston PLAYBACK - Keelan Whyte DIT - Alex Cheung KEY GRIP - Cormac Long GRIP - Ryan West GRIP ASSISTANT - Hana O'Neill GRIP ASSISTANT - Fergal Hughes GAFFER - Film Kevin Heatherington SPARK - Owen McCauley SPARK - Plunkett Lagan RIGGER - Hugh O'Neill RIGGER - Stuart Wood ART DIRECTOR - Natasha Mudi ART DEPARTMENT - Barry Cardell ART DEPARTMENT - Ben Simpson ART BUYER - Azaria Nelson SFX - Frankie Waite SFX - Jason Rea STUNTS COORDINATOR - Will Willoughby PRECISION DRIVER - Rob Jamen STUNTS - @bickersaction - Film and TV Action

🚨 NEW WORK 🚨 Our latest campaign for The @departmentforinfrastructure , developed by @ardmoreadv , delivers a stark and sobering message: moments of inattention behind the wheel can change everything. Directed by @mjfdirector , the film takes a hard-hitting approach to road safety, no gloss, no gimmicks, just a powerful reminder of the real-life consequences of not paying attention. Shot on location in Northern Ireland with a dedicated crew from all walks of life, authenticity sat at the heart of every decision. Beautifully shaped in the edit by our in-house editor @liammiro , this is storytelling with real weight, crafted to stop people in their tracks and, hopefully, make them think twice. Proud to have been appointed by Ardmore to help bring such an important campaign to life. ✨CREDITS ✨ CREATIVE AGENCY - @ardmoreadv EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR - Paul Bowen CREATIVE DIRECTOR - Glenn Irwin PRODUCTION COMPANY - @thegatefilms DIRECTOR - @mjfdirector PRODUCER - @joshboswell_work PRODUCTION MANAGER - @scarletmayes PRODUCTION COORDINATOR - @mel_deacon PRODUCTION ASSISTANT - @hannahportermedia PRODUCTION RUNNER - Lewis Faithfull 1ST AD - Darren Fee 2ND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR - Holly Carwell 3RD ASSISTANT DIRECTOR - Cillean Campbell FLOOR RUNNER - Annabel Harkness FLOOR RUNNER - Sam Halleron DOP - Alistair Little B CAM OP - Declan Ó Grianna FOCUS PULLER - Paul Christie B CAM FOCUS PULLER - Mike Lockhart CAMERA ASSISTANT - Lois Leneghan B CAM CAMERA ASSISTANT - Aaron Holden CAMERA TRAINEE - James Poston PLAYBACK - Keelan Whyte DIT - Alex Cheung KEY GRIP - Cormac Long GRIP - Ryan West GRIP ASSISTANT - Hana O'Neill GRIP ASSISTANT - Fergal Hughes GAFFER - Film Kevin Heatherington SPARK - Owen McCauley SPARK - Plunkett Lagan RIGGER - Hugh O'Neill RIGGER - Stuart Wood ART DIRECTOR - Natasha Mudi ART DEPARTMENT - Barry Cardell ART DEPARTMENT - Ben Simpson ART BUYER - Azaria Nelson SFX - Frankie Waite SFX - Jason Rea STUNTS COORDINATOR - Will Willoughby PRECISION DRIVER - Rob Jamen STUNTS - @bickersaction - Film and TV Action

🌿 NEW WORK 🌿 Our latest spot for Very Wellness is out now, with Creative Direction by @say_hello_studio and produced in partnership with us and honestly, it’s bringing the sunshine exactly when we need it. From the brilliantly unapologetic mum dance to a sunny lighting rig that’s got us fully in the mood for the summer season, this one felt like a shot of warmth in the middle of winter. Proof that the right energy (and a lot of light) can make even the greyest days feel a bit more motivated. A calm, feel-good film that’s perfect for that time of year when the gym’s busy, intentions are high, and we all need a little extra push. ⭐ CREDITS ⭐ CREATIVE DIRECTION: @say_hello_studio PRODUCTION PARTNER: @thegatefilms CREATIVE DIRECTOR – Elisher Abel BRAND PARTNERSHIP MANAGER – Adam Walker BRAND PARTNERSHIPS ASSISTANT – Cerys Owen CREATIVE ASSISTANT – Ella Wellington DIRECTOR – @_g_j_h__ EXECUTIVE PRODUCER – @rhibus PRODUCER – @producer.liv PRODUCTION MANAGER – @nathanmiah PRODUCTION ASSISTANT – @emily.murf RUNNER – @cameronlewiss SOCIALS – @sasha_karimedia WORK EXPERIENCE – Emma Varley LOCATION MANAGER – Tom Holt 1ST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR – Sarah Jane Jones PRODUCTION RUNNER – Lewis Faithfull DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY – Daniel Lightening GBCT FOCUS PULLER – Dean Keague CAMERA ASSISTANT – Nathalie Ekström PLAYBACK – Duncan Lees DIT – George Morris GAFFER – Chris Sarginson SPARK – Jack Skipper SPARK – Craig Shanda SPARK – Dan Parker GRIP – Jason Lee GRIP ASSISTANT – Ryan Walsh ART DIRECTOR – Rebecca McKnight ART ASSISTANT – Ben Critchley STYLIST – Rosie J Farnworth - Hall MAKE UP ARTIST – Mandy Minrow CAST – Yasmin Ogbu CAST – Oscar Buwule Heywood POST PRODUCTION - @thegateplus_ SENIOR EDITOR - @chloelouise.editor COLOURIST - @benjaminrozario VFX/ONLINE - @wylesdean

Our latest 'Because of You' film for The National Lottery is out now. We headed to Brighton to @audioactive_ to meet Adam Joolia and Michelle Hunter, and see the supportive, no-judgement space they’ve built where young people can find their feet through music. Claudia tours the project with National Lottery player Bradley. @deckytv nailed the casting across all of our films, but Bradley really was the perfect fit for this one as he works in a children’s home and understands first-hand how powerful music can be as an outlet for young people. All made possible by National Lottery players backing causes like this across the UK. Stick the sound up and have a watch, we loved making this one.

🍽️ NEW WORK DROP 🍽️ The third episode of our Because of You series with @claudiawinkle is out in the world and this one’s got us seriously excited for some proper home-cooked meals this festive season. This week we’re in London with the brilliant team at @cookforgood.uk , a community cooking project. We stopped in on a project funded by @thenationallottery - the Men’s Grub Club. A group of gents who meet once a month to cook, chat, and support each other, helping tackle loneliness in older communities. With 400 members in total, it’s community at its very best: warm, welcoming and full of good grub 🍲. Big thanks to everyone involved in bringing this episode to life. Have a watch, it’s a heart-warmer.

⚽ NEW WORK DROP💧 Our latest spot with Manchester City Football Club and Xylem, directed by the brilliant Jake Erland, shining a light on the incredible Xylem technology that recycles and reuses water straight back into the training ground. Smart, sustainable, future-focused, exactly the kind of work we love getting stuck into. Shot, naturally, on the only two days Manchester pretended to be dry… though an umbrella was still very much the on-set essential. You never trust a blue sky round here. Couldn’t be happier with this one, a proper look at how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
