Our Work in

Original Content

We don’t just create award winning promo and branded video campaigns for our commercial clients, our work also spans both scripted and factual original content through our sister companies. Cloud Break is our documentary label, producing commissions for UK and global broadcasters, while Nickie-Ben is our scripted arm, a genre label developing a slate of TV programming and feature films for international distribution.

Working with UK and international broadcasters and producers, we bring an understanding of the growth potential of digital formats, and leaning on our many years experience in delivering short form content, Cloud Break drives a slate of exciting factual and fact-ent projects. Latest work include a BBC documentary following the life of a teenage TikTok star, and a BAFTA Cymru nominated international co-production comprising two films looking at the Covid vaccine roll out in the UK and how it might be influenced by online misinformation originating in the US. We are also VT suppliers to BBC’s The One Show.

With more freedom within reach, what’s the price of misinformation?

Post-Production Workflow

& VFX

Our in-house post production team has a wide range of experience in the varying workflow and creative needs that come with working across a huge range of cross platform content. From the project structure and edit requirements that come with a 1hr single documentary shot in both the UK and the US during a global pandemic, to logging, binning and delivering dailies and scene assemblies to the other side of the world from the set of a scripted feature film in rural Scotland, our team has many workable solutions for even the most challenging of projects.

Working across any kind of live action project, be it scripted feature film, linear broadcast or branded content, there are many times when the required shot cannot be fully captured in-camera, whatever the reason. Working efficiently, our team can support with clean up, sky replacement, set extension and scene enhancement dependent on the vision of the production, allowing shots and sequences to tell a more complete story and help build the world of the film.
