Let’s Get Reading

Every year for National Bookstart Week, BookTrust selects a title that will go into every reception classroom in the country and that children will be encouraged to take home.

The campaign aims to help parents make the experience of reading to their child more fun. To give the campaign more exposure, former Strictly Come Dancing champion and TV presenter Ore Oduba starred in this special reading of A Busy Day for Birds.

Going Cheep

We worked with BookTrust and the publishers to bring A Busy Day for Birds to life. We hired a home to create the right environment and incorporated illustrations from the book into the video.

Ore had recently become a father, so we shot extra social media snippets with him talking about that experience, which he promoted to his many thousands of followers.

Culture Croydon has had a great experience working with Chocolate Films creating social-first reels and highlights films for our events. The team have been excellent at turning around the content quickly to meet our tight deadlines, and perfectly executing the films to meet the brief.

We worked with Chocolate Films on our rebrand videos and couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was knowledgeable, supportive, and a real pleasure to work with throughout the process. They did an excellent job using video and animation to bring our new brand to life, capturing exactly what we wanted to convey. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a creative and reliable video partner.

Chocolate Films helped us with the films for our 10-Year Strategy
and annual Awards. Mary, Lucia and the team did a fantastic job at capturing the look, feel and emotions tied to the events and we were really pleased at how they turned out. They held a number of briefing calls and kept us updated of their progress throughout! Looking forward to working with the team again!

ActionSpace had a great experience working with Chocolate Films, in renting their fantastic studio space for an event and in hiring their excellent camera team for a live stream broadcast. They were welcoming, inclusive, highly professional and sensitive to the needs of our artists. We very much hope to work with them again.

Chocolate films made a film for our small charity and the quality of the product was excellent. They really managed to capture the essence of what we do and that is so valuable to us in recruiting new members and attracting funding. Very easy feedback and amendment process too. Would recommend
