The background

Our client is based in the Dee Valley – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in north-east Wales. They approached us with a vision to create a short film that would highlight the beauty of their surroundings whilst paying homage to the tradition and craftsmanship of local woodcutters who worked the land.

The highlights

  • High-quality production with a focus on the interplay of light, texture, and sound.
  • Striking cinematic storytelling that hit the brief and celebrated the relationship between humans and nature.
  • Immersive sound design blending the ambient sounds of nature with the woodsman’s craft.

The brief

The client’s brief was clear: to highlight the beauty of the Dee Valley whilst showcasing the high quality craftsmanship that goes into working with natural wood. The video was expected to evoke emotional connection, resonate with outdoor enthusiasts, and appeal to those with a passion for traditional craftsmanship.

Our response

We focussed our attention on enhancing the reader experience, to improve engagement and increase conversions.

Planning

We began by scouting the location – it was important that we identified the perfect spots to capture the richness of the landscape. Our focus was on creating a harmonious balance between the serene environment and the woodsman, his movement, and his connection to the land.

Video Production

We used dynamic camera techniques to capture the footage, from sweeping drone and wide angle shots to show the grandeur of the valley, to intimate close-ups that captured the rawness of the woodmans craft. Every frame was planned to blend human action with the natural environment to bring the narrative to life.

Post Production

In post-production, we elevated the footage with careful colour grading, accentuating the rich greens, browns and the shifting tones of natural light. We paid particular attention to sound design, layering the ambient sounds of the forest with the whizz of a machine and the crack of the axe. This created a sensory-rich experience which immersed the viewer directly into the scene.

The results

We delivered a visually-striking piece of film that brought the beauty of Dee Valley to life. The video was praised for its authentic portrayal of the area and the people that work amongst it. Why not take a look yourself, and get immersed in the beautiful Dee Valley landscape.
