Scientific Protocol Videos

Brunel University in London got in touch with us to create a series of scientific protocol videos. The McCarthy lab had developed a novel breakthrough experiment to help combat infections and wanted our help in creating high quality videos to demonstrate the experiments and help fellow researchers carry out their own experiements.


The lab had prodcuced their own videos of the experiment previously but they were not happy with the poor quality of their videos, which not only deminished their brand and credibility, but also made it difficult for fellow researchers to follow along.


Our expertise in planning video content along was a key factor in the lab deciding to work with us. It also helped that we are based in Uxbridge, very close to the Brunel University Campus.


We reviewed the 3 protocols and provided a quote for the work up-front which enabled the lab to seek funding for the project. Once funding was approved, we started planning the videos in closer detail, ensuring the filming days ran smoothly and we achieved evertyhing we wanted to achieve.


In order to create a high quality look and feel for the videos, we shut all the blinds and lit the scene using our own lights. We also rigged a top-down camera with a remote monitor, giving us a great view of the action and enabling us to capture every little detail of the experiments without getting in the way.


The format of the videos was a short interview with the researcher introducing the experiement, before going straight into the step by step protocol explanation.


The client was extremely happy with the work and they instantly recevied positive feedback from colleagues and peers. It was exciting for us to see how our videos made the researchers excited about their own work. Having the ability to share high quality videos of their work added to their credibility and vastly elevated the impact of their experiments.


If you have a scientific experiement you would like to film, please get in touch. We can help you secure the budget and plan the videos to ensure the project is a huge success.
