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.

My children attended their film making workshops. What a great time they had! The crew members were fantastic, especially Bea, who has got excellent attitude towards children and tons of patience. I really recommend them, if you are looking for some quality workshops for your children.

I work at Cystic Fibrosis Trust and we are delighted with the animation Chocolate Films created for us. It met the brief and has helped us to explain our activities to current and future partners. Chocolate Films were a pleasure to work with and we appreciated their flexibility in working to a very tight timescale.

We commissioned Chocolate films to complete a BTS film as a promotional film for our Level 4 foundation course. We were out on location with our own 3 short films with our most senior students, and we needed an extra crew to capture all that was happening on set. They were thoughtful, efficient and proactive. Capturing some great interviews and BTS (thanks Elton!), weaving it into a great promotional film for us. Lucia steered the project beautifully from start to finish (thanks Nikita too). We’ve worked with Chocolate films before and would happily do so in the future. Chloe – London Screen Academy

I filmed a green screen production using sound and it came out great. Lucia and Nikka are lovely and happy to help, the facilities are exactly what I needed (there’s also a make-up room) and it was easy to get to.

Chocolate films produced a fun promotional video for us as part of our 80th anniversary. They were professional with clear communication, and the project was delivered to time.

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! The space is great and the team were welcoming, generous with their knowledge and clearly enthusiastic about what they do.
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.
