As part of our longstanding relationship with the BBC, we were brought on board to cover the legendary Nine Lakes Challenge. Taking place in one of the UK’s most beautiful regions – the Lake District – participants face a gruelling 38km bike ride, followed by a 12km hike around the nine lakes, all in 9 hours.
We filmed this single-day challenge in the Lake District as 60 Business Friends raised £100,000 for a good cause: BBC Children in Need.
From tech conferences to marathons and beyond, our event coverage services capture the story, and the action.

Jude Boutie is one of a kind in her drive, passion and humanity. So telling her story was a pleasure for us as there was loads of drama and emotion to capture.
Working with zero30 Media, our team covered this high-profile event over a three-week multi-location shoot taking in The Big Walk in 4 different UK counties. In total we produced 5 hours of high-quality films which featured on prime-time slots on BBC News at Ten and live on The One Show, as well as specially-produced social media edits.

One of a series of Big Walk events hosted by The Eden Project’s Eden Communities initiative.
We love films that give us a chance to really capture good things going on and try and drive changed as a result.
This was shot in the Llanwyrtyd Wells area of Wales, where Big Walk supporters took part in a slightly unusual race. Instead of competing against each other, the competitors in this race would be (as the event is titled) Man V Horse. Though just a bit of fun for the runners and riders, for the town it’s a vital occasion on which much-needed funding is raised by the over 1000 attendants that participate.
This film is part of a wider series of daily updates in which we followed walkers from London, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, journeying with them as they connected with local projects and communities along the way to shine a light on the amazing works people are undertaking around our country. The full team involved shooting with a director, on-site editor, producer, photographer, PR and a daily social media push to drum up interest and grow audiences in this important project, as part of Eden communities’ wider projects that still run today.

After more than 650 miles on the road, Eddie Izzard was on the final day of his epic 27-marathons-in-27-days challenge in support of Sport Relief.
From Mthatha (near Mvezo, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela) to the finishing line in Pretoria, we documented Eddie’s incredible journey every step of the way, ending with this film: “Eddie Izzard Marathon Man: The Final Push’.
Series Producer Steve Maud worked with Director of Photography Aaron Witchard to deliver daily content for BBC3’s new exclusively online channel on behalf of Lion TV.
Filming, editing and uploading over 100 short films in less than a month required absolute focus, logistical precision, and not a little stamina of our own. Over the course of the gruelling 27 days, Eddie’s run captured the public’s imagination across the UK and beyond, and in the process raised more than £1 million for Sport Relief.
Views of this film have reached over 32,000 plays on YouTube.

David Walliams set himself the ambitious challenge of swimming the full length of the River Thames – all 127 miles of it – for Sport Relief in 2012.
The challenge for us was to film him in action (following in boat, on foot and by scooter). Over seven days, editing on the road, we produced daily video packages that were published on social and made available to news outlets to feature on the evening news.

This film is part of a wider series of daily updates in which we followed walkers from London, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, journeying with them as they connected with local projects and communities along the way to shine a light on the amazing works / heart that people are undertaking around our country. The full team involved a shooting director, on-site editor, producer, photographer, PR and a daily social media push to drum up interest and grow audiences in this important project, as part of Eden communities’ wider projects that still run today.
In this film, our crew worked alongside zero 30 Media to capture the community spirit found at Windmill Hill City Farm in the Bristol area. As a site which was saved from being developed into a high-security lorry park 40 years ago through the efforts of the local community, a previously derelict area has been transformed into a green space.
Now a well-established local attraction, Windmill Hill City Farm offers free access to all and provides kids and families with a valuable space for the community to enjoy a natural environment and interact with farm animals.
