Exeter's Flood Defence Scheme - Environment Agency

Описание: PROJECT SUMMARY:
Client: Environment Agency
Project: Promotional Video
Location: Exeter, U.K.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Environment Agency is a government funded public body, sponsored by the Department for
Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Their purpose is to create better places for people and wildlife and support sustainable development. They achieve this by funding ecological projects across the United Kingdom.  

To support this work, we were commissioned to produce a video to raise awareness of their
ongoing efforts to develop the future of Exeter’s flood defences. We worked closely with both the
Environment Agency and BAM-Nuttall over several months to document the work. An important
aspect was interviewing some of the project’s key staff along the way incorporating their views on
the different facets of the project.

Additionally, we wanted to capture often obscure work easily missed by similar video projects, by
featuring the growth of communal orchards, wild plant growth and also documented how the
project will support local wildlife and insect populations.  

Our video was well received and has subsequently been used to great effect to promote and
educate the public during events that the Environment Agency run. It has achieved the objective of
raising awareness and showing the positive impact the Agency can have thus providing cost
effective positive PR. 

A key learning point from the project was the amount of capacity required for filming a longer-term
project and the sheer volume of video footage that had to be stored. Since then, we have upgraded
our storage capacity and can comfortably handle several of these projects at one time.
