UKTV Eden
We've worked with UKTV Eden on a number of projects to raise awareness of the channel's award winning content, as well as the issues that drive them. Firstly, we helped to launch the channel in 2009 with the viral film starring a polar bear and her cub on the River Thames, which you can see in the main video viewer now. And we've more recently filmed TV presenter Ben Fogle to promote their Eden Inspires competition. The channel focuses on high quality programming about the natural world, and supports sustainability issues which is why we have been involved with them throughout their life.

DEFRA
We work with a wide range of government departments, from The Department of Health, to The Home Office, and The Department of the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. DEFRA have come to Greenscreen a number of times, particularly in their need to publicise and record their environmental work. We have produced various broadcast, online and conference films for DEFRA, in particular a film with the British Antarctic Survey (available on our video viewer now) which recorded a groundbreaking visit to Antarctica by the then Senior Advisor on Climate Change, Sir Howard Dalton. He was subsequently named in the Queen's Birthday Honours shortly before his tragic death in 2008.
BestInvest
We work with many leading providers of financial services and consultancy. An example of those is Best Invest - who provide independent financial advice to investors.
This public film was part of a campaign to promote and help investors to understand and 'meet' potential advisors. Other clients include the EA Consulting Group, Savile Group (incorporating Cedar Talent Management), various insurers and the Futures of General Insurance annual conference.
BBC
The BBC has been a customer of Greenscreen since the company launched in 2005, but before that, our full time employer. Since the early 90s, our team has all worked individually as senior journalists, lighting cameramen, producers, technicians and presenters within the halls of BBC Broadcasting House and Television Centre. In many cases, that is where they cut their teeth in news and factual programming, and in nearly all cases it is where they went on to national acclaim. From BBC One to Radio 1, members of our team are still creating national and international output for the BBC and our contacts throughout the organisation continue to be extensive.
British Red Cross
One of our most important charity film and public relations projects to date was our work with the British Red Cross in Indonesia - an area devastated by the Asian tsunami of 2004.
We were hired because of our journalism, experience and balance, to provide footage and interviews with survivors and BRC staff who'd spent the years since the disaster rebuilding lives and livelihoods in a region where up to 80% of people were killed.
Our work achieved worldwide coverage, and led to our nomination for the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards. You can see a short film featuring personal accounts in the video viewer now.
Drug Education Forum
Often, our work takes on an important public issue. In this case we were hired to make a short film, for teenagers, by teenagers, on their attitudes to drugs, drink and smoking.
It appears on the front of the national Drug Education Forum's website - as a way to access some simple but critical thoughts about drugs, education, and how teenagers feel about the pressures around them.
It was made for the government's Excellence in Action event - helping young people to express those thoughts to policy makers.
Group RCI
Group RCI is the world's largest vacation ownership exchange provider. In 2009, they were leading the drive to build a new Dubai, offering a combination of business and residential property sharing and sale. This film was located completely in Dubai and has been used extensively to show how they are working with developers and clients to add value to property sales. Crucially, they have worked with the authorities to clean up the reputation of 'timeshare' by building a strong legal framework and understanding of the benefits that the concept can bring when carried out properly. And this short film has been shown to developers worldwide to demonstrate that - and other concepts - with a focus on The Middle East and The Gulf.
IPC Media
IPC Media are the UK's leading consumer titles publisher. We have advised IPC on a number of matters since 2005 including their use of video for internal communications, and media and presentation training. Our ongoing role with IPC is to continue to work hand in hand as consultants on any issue surrounding online media and visual communication. We have coached the company's Chief Executive as well as the editorial team on Now Magazine - covering a wide range of subjects and skills that they bring to their jobs, and to the public.
ITN and ITV
Over the past five years, we have been instrumental in building and maintaining some of the major strands of the ITV business, having previously worked at the broadcaster as on-screen and behind the scenes. We have produced and guided hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of corporate and conference films for ITN Consulting (part of ITN Productions) - the company's conference arm. And we have created content for the ITV website - including short films such as this, for Friends Reunited. We can only show a few samples of our work with ITN Consulting on this site, but please do contact us if you would like to learn more, or talk about making a high quality film made about your organisation. We'd love to help.
Greater Manchester Police
Issue-based films are often the cornerstone of what clients want from us. And many of the films we create aim to paint a truer picture of the accomplishments of people behind the scenes - whether in business, education, health, consumer - or areas such as crime prevention. This film is just one example of our work with the police, in this case to show members of the Association of Chief Police Officers what's being done to tackle gun and knife crime in Greater Manchester by the city's XCalibre Unit. We spent the night with detectives in the Manchester force who are preventing gang-related violence by working with children and teenagers at risk in areas such as Moss Side. And the results of their work have been staggering. This film gives a flavour of the work being done to create safer neighbourhoods across the city.
the mole clinic
The Mole Clinic is the UK's first provider of dermascopic mole scanning technology, conceived in Australia.
We were asked to spend a year with them and patients, to produce a documentary - one of the first of its kind ever produced for a company in the UK.
Called Sue's Story (available on our video portals), it captured the treatment of a patient with melanoma for the very first time, and has been shown to Ministers and various health committees at the top levels of government.
east kent hospital
One of the core areas of Greenscreen's work is in communicating and capturing the work of the NHS and its Trusts.
Our client-centred approach has helped countless health professionals to reach a wider audience whether we work with clients in the UK (NHS Alliance, East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust, Tooting Hospitals and many more), or abroad (including the European Forum for Primary Care and World Health Organisation).
uktv eden
Greenscreen has become a leading viral video provider for launch campaigns on UKTV channels, in association with Taylor Herring Communications.
Our film for Eden is a good example of how we've turned an important issue into something watchable by hundreds of thousands of people online, and on TV internationally. Watch it for yourself - you may see why.
which
We work closely with a range of consumer rights bodies - one of the most valued of which, is Which? We work with them in two chief capacities - as their media trainers, and as film makers for their campaigns and publicity departments.
Following our work, they have launched top spokespeople onto channels including BBC TV, ITV News, GMTV, Channel 4, Sky News, Five News, Five Live, Radio 4, Radio 1, local radio - the list goes on. And our film work has been used to educate Ministers, leading consumer rights organisations, scientists, business leaders and the public about important issues that can affect them. You can watch our Which? film on nanotechnology here, and within some of our other web video portals.
