Barclays - Cockermouth
For this project we worked closely with agency EHS4D to produce a number of documentary films for Barclays about the lengths that their staff go to in order to help their customers. This example involved filming the reminiscences of those caught up in the great floods of 2009 where the towns of Cockermouth and Workington were cut off for days.
The films were then cut and graded at Sandstorm in Soho.
