Bringing the worlds of medicine and arts together

Chocolate Films was commissioned by Royal College of Physicians Museum to create a video that introduces the thinking and ideas behind the exhibition ‘Unfamiliar’. The exhibition video features photographer Theo Deproost and physician associate Debbie Jegede. It’s a simple setup where the focus is on the conversation between the two and how they’ve worked together on reinterpreting items from RCP’s medical and fine arts collection. 

Read more about their work and the exciting, new exhibition on RCP’s website.

Small crew and natural environment

The main film is not only to give people an insight into the collaboration and the exhibition, but it is also an integrated part of the exhibition. Our team wanted the conversation and tone of the film to be as natural as possible. Theo and Debbie weren’t used to being in front of a camera and it was important for us that they felt comfortable both on and off camera.

It was a small one-person crew. We used three cameras which allowed us to focus on them both together and separately without having to re-record. It helped create this natural environment, we were aiming for.

We also created a trailer to share on RCP’s social media platforms.

Video as an integrated part of an exhibition

It’s not the first time, Chocolate Films has created visual content for an exhibition. We previously worked with the National Museum of Scotland on their well-received exhibition Audubon’s Birds of America. 

We love creating exhibition videos. It is a great opportunity to gain new knowledge and collaborate closely with experts to help bring their stories to life.

I worked with Chocolate films to produce a voice over for a film translated into Welsh. Nikki and Lucia were professional, friendly and understood the brief. They ensured all deadlines were met and the work was produced to a really high quality.

A friendly group of professional, talented film-makers who created some brilliant videos for us. Anna and Han were a pleasure to work with and were available to discuss the project whenever we needed it. The entire process was slick and efficient from start to finish – I would definitely recommend Chocolate Films for any film project.

A very professional team with flexibility and great understanding of the craft. The pre-production was straight forward but the dedication from the team on the day to capture lots of high quality footage of the event was admirable.The final outcomes were well edited and the revisions process was painless and fast. I highly recommend Chocolate Films for event and interview videography.

Buttle UK worked with Chocolate Films to create an animated video to capture a co-produced report about estranged young people. We are absolutely amazed by the video they created for us! The team at Chocolate Films worked tirelessly to involve our young team, including an in-person workshop and an online one. It was lovely to see how they made it a fun learning experience during the workshops, while also working hard on the core purpose and outcome of the project. We really valued the expertise we received from the project manager, animators and voiceover experts. As they are a social enterprise, it’s clear that Chocolate Films have the kind of values we (a charity) really love. It shows in the beautiful film they created, and the way that they made it possible for us to work with them. We are so impressed and wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation.
