March was one of those months where a lot of our team spent more time out of the office than in it, a lot of early starts, a lot of miles covered, and a lot of time behind the camera.
By the numbers:
A lot of time spent on the road, on set, and in post-production, with plenty now lined up to roll out over the coming weeks.
We had three podcast shoots for the Terry Stone Connection this month, continuing a strong run of content.
One of the more memorable shoots took place at Lord Eddie Davenport’s mansion in London (not your average filming location) with guests including Lisa Maffia (So Solid Crew) and Lord Eddie Davenport himself. A great setting and a varied mix of conversations, with episodes set to roll out soon.
We were back with our longest-standing client, Ablestoke, this time focused on building their social media presence through video.
The brief was simple: short, informative pieces to camera from their advisers. Within a two-hour shoot, we managed to capture 18 videos, efficient to say the least, which are now in the editing process. A few tax year-related clips are already live, with more scheduled to go out over the coming weeks.
We headed to Team Vertu’s official livery launch to capture a mix of live social content and behind-the-scenes footage for the Road to Round 1 series. The event was packed with car reveals and interviews, including reigning champion Tom Ingram and teammate Tom Chilton.
The final video is now live which is definitely worth a watch.
We welcomed the Water Jetting Association to our office in sunny Southend (rare, but we’ll take it) to review progress on their new website.
It was a really productive session, getting designs up on the big screen, talking through feedback, and making sure everything is heading in the right direction. We’re now moving into the next phase, with remaining pages being finalised ahead of the next review in April.
March also meant testing season for the BTCC, which kept us busy across multiple locations.
Floss was trackside at Brands Hatch, before we regrouped for a two-day test at Croft Circuit (with a few miles in between). Day one at Croft saw us filming a full behind-the-scenes video with NAPA Racing UK for the Road to Round 1 series.
We’ve now filmed four episodes in the series, with one final shoot lined up at Brands Hatch for Media Day and the official season launch, nearly there.
While half the team were up at Croft, the other half were down at the British Motor Museum covering the Motorsport Industry Association’s EEMS event.
A packed day of filming, from speaker sessions and interviews to b-roll, timelapses and exhibitor coverage. The highlight video has now been edited and is ready to go live in the coming days.
Alongside all the filming, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes too.
We’ve been working on the launch of a brand new podcast, Tales From The Trap, focused on cast and crew from Terry’s upcoming film. March was spent building everything around it; branding, video assets, YouTube channel and website, with the first episode due to land in early April.
As if that wasn’t enough, we also launched a dedicated Terry Stone Connection Clips channel, giving short-form moments from the podcast a space of their own.
March was full-on, with a big focus on filming and content creation and a lot of what we’ve been working on is only just starting to go live.
April looks set to be just as busy, but for now, we’ll take the bank holiday weekend as a good excuse to (briefly) put our feet up.
