NKW team up with Hereford filmmakers to win Best Film in the Stoke Your Fires 48 hr Film Challenge

 

Nathan Williams teamed up with Wind Up World Films (WUWF) to make a short film in just 48 hours! The challenge was set by the Stoke Your Fires team as part of their annual film festival. At 10:00am on Sat 19th Feb, the brief was released and Nathan and WUWF worked on their film 'SAD-O' for 46 hours. Nathan saw the challenge as an opportunity to get creative with some new colleagues but when Dave Jones from WUWF called to say they had won, it was the icing on the cake, 'It's a great feeling when you get recognised for your work when you consider how subjective film can be as an art form. We were really pleased to have won and I look forward to working with Wind-Up World Films again.' Nathan Williams NKW

Opportunity to get fresh with X-Factor voice over man Peter Dickson!

 

Sheffield University Union has come to that time again where they open their arms to brand new freshers all flocking to the student lifestyle 'mecca' that is Sheffield University. NKW has been brought back to film and produce their new promotional video for 2010. There was an extra special difference this year as the narration was that of the voice of ITV's X-Factor Peter Dickson, a ruddy good bloke.  NKW were especially happy when the video campaign got over 6,000 hits online. September 2010.

 

Going south...

 

The Southern Staffordshire Partnership Regeneration Awards promote some excellent projects from community groups, local authorities, businesses and local partnerships across Southern Staffordshire. For this year's awards, Partnership Director Jeff Marlow approached NKW to produce a 15 min DVD to showcase the good work. "The project was highly challenging as the DVD was made up entirely out of motion graphics, images and typography, no actual live footage. We are really pleased with the outcome."
