This was made as a pitch for work with Sandford Orchards Cider in Devon who I've wanted to work with for some time. The concept came to me when I was stuck at home with 4 kids running around the house as school was shut for the day.
Strong social media is a key part of marketing for many businesses, poor images diminish its power and ability to reach out but us professional photographers are here to save the day and make sure your photography is STRONG!
I want to take the hassle out of using great photography for businesses by providing them with affordable, easy to use and appropriate images they can use to up their social media game.
I found myself with some spare time in a wintery orchard and couldn't resist shooting a few clips to try capturing some of the magic I was seeing. You should really watch it with the volume turned up - the beautiful backing track by Brian Eno is key!
This is my first foray into music and video and I set myself the brief of creating something simple based on some footage I had (shot on a train journey down from Seattle to Portland) combined with free clips I have sourced from various online libraries.
One of my clients asked me to create a short, simple video promoting their new mulled cider, so I did. As an avid user of social media, he need both photography and video to feed his business Facebook page and Instagram account.
One tradition that still slips in and out of popularity is the mulling of cider using a red hot poker. Mulled cider is basically cider that has had a selection of spices added to it before it is warmed and consumed - and its much nicer than mulled wine.
