Curing Diabetes | Phaim

Crowdfunding film building awareness and increasing the funds needed to take diabetes research to the next level.

The next stage of diabetes research

Chocolate Films collaborated with Phaim on the fundraising film Curing Diabetes which focuses on type 1 diabetes. The goal was clear: to create an emotive film that convinces people watching to offer funding to the research.

The video should have an impact on the audience and not only make them watch it from start to finish, but also inspire them to take action and support the research. We combined live-action footage with animated elements to keep people hooked. We wanted to both communicate important data about the disease and why research is needed, while at the same time showing the life of working in a lab.

Video featuring contributors

The script included important data and scientific facts about the disease and the research that is and has been put into it. Our team collaborated closely with the client on the script. The client provided us with their knowledge and wrote the core of the script while our team used their expertise and turned the script into an impactful fundraising film.

Our filmmakers filmed most of the footage in an actual lab featuring the contributors. It gave the film authenticity and reliability.

The video content creation workshop offered by Chocolate Films was incredibly useful, packed full of handy tips on how to create compelling videos with the minimum equipment and time!

HUGE round of applause for the Chocolate Films team! We attended their ‘Using Video for Business’ Workshop, which they so kindly offered free of charge for local businesses in the Wandsworth area. Hosted at their lovely new Nine Elms studio space, we had a great morning of learning, chatting over tea and coffee. They are a really delightful and organised company that we hope to work with going forward, and we would love to see the team at one of our cookery classes one day! Ax

I joined other small business owners, founders and entrepreneurs for a morning workshop on how to create content, shoot and edit footage. The studio was so welcoming and the team gave some fantastic advice whether it was your first foray into film making or had been trying for a while but stuck with certain elements. The workshop was fun, enjoyable and informative with a good balance between information and hands on practice. They made something quite complex seem very accessable. The teams enthusiasm for their craft is infectious.

I work for the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and we commissioned Chocolate films to make 3 films to support the training of mental health workers.The Chocolate films team have been highly professional, skilled and excellent to work alongside. Right from the beginning where we met to share our plans and discuss the potential project, the team have offered creative thinking, ideas and helped us to build a clear vision for the films. The script process felt easy and collaborative. The team have also provided a very clear structure and reliability around time scales.As the film making process began we worked closely around the development of scripts and casting of actors. Chocolate films have been very responsive and active in supporting us (at the Anna Freud centre) to work to the deadlines whilst showing a really high level of knowledge around the process and steps needed.The actual filming days were a pleasure to be involved with and the team has been very impressive to see in action, particularly in their ability to work together, to include me in their process whilst also attending very carefully to the details needed for the films to be high quality.I would highly recommend Chocolate films and would certainly commission them again

I had the pleasure of working with Chocolate Films for a corporate video campaign. From the offset, the team were professional, engaging, and quick to communicate. Rachel and Lucia worked with our vision and helped turn it into a reality, offering suggestions and expertise to help bring the story to life to a highly creative and timely manner.The video created a real buzz within the organisation and the feedback received has been fantastic. I would highly recommend Chocolate and look forward to working with them again in the future.
