PHOENIX FORGE
PROJECT BRIEF: This project required us to create a marketing video that could showcase the services provided by a local steel forge and the craftsmanship involved. Phoenix Forge is a bespoke metalwork and blacksmiths business based in Carmarthen, specialising in traditional and contemporary metalwork.
We wanted to produce a promotional video that was a little different, so we used slow motion, poetry and soundscaping to capture a sense of artistry rather than industry.
Making this video was challenging due to the environment in which we were filming. With machinery, fire and sparks all around we had to work hard to ensure the crew were safe and minimise the risk to our equipment.
For this project we had to storyboard our ideas, source music and poetry, and carry out extensive risk assessments. In many ways, producing this video was a gamble, but the end result is something that we are immensely proud of.
