Capturing the spirit of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Fringe for freedom

We shot this trailer for the 2019 Festival during the Edinburgh Fringe 2018. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society gave us free creative rein for the project and our filmmaking crew developed the idea of capturing the perspective of a person attending the Fringe for the first time. 

The video is also set to a poem that was written as a celebration of the festival and that, we believe, embodies what this unique event is all about.

Begins and ends with Edinburgh

The trailer stars a local actor, wearing a body brace with a camera attached on it, to capture footage from an experimental reverse point-of-view, in which we are always looking at the actor’s face. It was shot by a two-man crew from Chocolate Films’ Glasgow office, who had a great time filming around the city during the festival, especially as the body brace attracted attention and encouraged strangers to join in.

This was our first commission from the Edinburgh Fringe and we have since made more films together, including one on its outreach programme.

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.

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.
