From concept to creation, all shoot in one night from 2am till 5am this ambitious film for the iconic Shard took in multiple locations, aerial footage from a helicopter and motion graphics to bring it life!
Light up London
2 films to showcase the wonderful resilience, community and diversity of London with an aspirational feel to tie in with The Shards prestigious brand.
The Process
Having the opportunity to create Hero films for aspirational global brands is just about our favourite thing to do here at Ranch; so when the chance to pitch to The Shard came up, we threw the kitchen sink, the fridge and the freezer at it. What’s more, we’d be get to create a video thanking our wonderful NHS... naturally delighted when we won the commission.
The challenge was a one month turnaround from pitch to delivery, all to be shot and planned safely with Covid restrictions in place for productions. So with no time to lose we built storyboards, worked on casting, location scouted and built a great crew to help us bring the films to life.
The Solution
Thanks to our incredible production team who pulled out all the stops on this one, and a wonderful, diverse cast of local talent, the project was shot across 1 long evening and 2 (very) early mornings.
