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.

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.

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.
