A Talented Team Of Exhibition Content Creators

When we produce content for exhibitions, our main goal is to assist the curators and exhibition designers to tell the story of the exhibition as effectively as possible. Our talented and varied creative team will use their skill and creativity to produce content in a range of styles and using a range of techniques.

For many exhibitions we have created documentary content to enhance interpretation, but exhibition AV can go so much further. We create large scale image installations and soundscapes, animated explainers, historical re-enactments, time-lapse films, video mapping, entertaining interactives and much much more. Get in touch to discuss how we can help you.

A Collaborative Video Production Experience

When working on exhibition content, we value the collaboration with the museum and gallery team. We will work with you to devise the best route from idea to delivery, in relation to both the process and the output itself. Our team will do what it takes to capture the best content, whether installing ourselves on Rainham marshes at 3am to capture the perfect sunrise or recreating a WWII Scramble with heritage aeroplanes.

For many productions we enjoy exploring wider collaboration possibilities. We often co-produce content with members of the community, as evidenced by our work in permanent galleries at the Science Museum, Horniman Museum, the Imperial War Museum and more. Our team are all experienced at working in educational environments and bring their workshop experience to these productions to create stunning results.

Two Decades Exhibition Video Content Production

Chocolate Films has been a leader in the field of museum and gallery exhibition content for over 20 years. We have worked with almost every major museum in London, plus museums in Scotland, Germany, Italy, the United States and the Middle East.

Our talented team are passionate about the sector. We have filmmakers with backgrounds in history, art history and curation among our team, and they bring their diligence and knowledge to your projects.

We understand how impactful good AV can have on the flow of an exhibition. Get in touch to find out how we can help you.

The reviews are in...

"Dominating the room is a panoramic film showing the movement of the sun over a silvery river meander in Rainham marshes. It looks like a Cuyp painting, all milk-dense mist, a solitary plodding cow, reeds scissoring in the breeze. The ‘action’ here is the sky, which blooms mesmerically: first rosy gold, then violet, then a rich, ancient blue. Its soundtrack – birdsong and some other unidentifiable but bone-buzzingly deep noise – cast a spell from which I was reluctant to surface. "

Review of Havering Hoard exhibition at Museum of London Docklands

11 September 2020

They had these silent films of people working with gold leaf that are absolutely mesmeric and that almost felt like an installation. It really is something to watch, I mean I stood there for quite some time staring...

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.

We have worked with Chocolate Films a few times now and they have created some great work for us. They are always professional, great with deadlines and making sure they capture the right tone and content for what you need. I would 100% recommend.

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

Chocolate Films workshops are absolutely amazing for my child! The team is so friendly and does a great job of keeping the kids engaged. My child loves learning about filmmaking and always comes home excited to share all the cool things they’ve done that day.
The workshops are really hands-on and encourage so much creativity, which is fantastic to see. My child feels so proud of what they’re creating, and the films they work on always turn out brilliant.

If you’re looking for a fun and creative activity for your kids, I can’t recommend their workshops enough.

Any artist or creative who has not wrapped their head around creating unique visual imagery needs to invest some time, effort and energy on this powerful medium which is now taking priority over a business card or website. Even a short workshop like those on offer at Chocolate Films will set you off in the right direction.

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.
