Studio Scoop #2 - Candy world mural creation at FW HQ!
FLETCHERWILSON
We tell the real story of who you are and why you're brilliant at what you do.
We took our sweet time but our tasty new mural is a feast for the eyes!
We had a bright and wonderful start to 2023 with an exciting team project: the FW mural. Painted across three walls, the mural is an explosion of colourful design and surreal joy that encapsulates Team FW and livens up FW HQ. All of our studio clients will have the pleasure of seeing it when they’re in.
To share the wonderful journey of how we created it, we’ve produced a fun film, recording the whole process. Having partnered with Daler-Rowney, who put us in contact with the fantastic Pepe Gaka (global mural artist extraordinaire), we spent a week painting across three walls, using bespoke scaffolding and other tricks to get it done. Read more about the experience from our illustrator, Sketch, as creator and producer of the entire project :)
Our latest productions
Samsung AR for… ovens?
Through the fab guys at Big Group, we had Samsung at our studios filming content for an AR campaign. It allows customers in store to point their phones at Samsung's Series 4 and 5 ovens?and their X fridge. A 'mini' presenter pops up, standing within the oven or fridge environment and talks them through the features. Pretty neat tech, if you ask us.?See the result here.
Rebel Films at FWstudios
We’ve had the great pleasure of welcoming Rebel Films and Karolis Films to the studio on three occasions over the last few months. Karolis and Alisa have been dream clients to work with - even leaving us a smashing review!
You can check out some behind-the-scenes shots of Karolis and Rebel in action below:
Imperial War Museums and Kat Francois for 'England Calling'
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Windrush, IWM have produced 'England Calling'. For this, Apples and Snakes were at our studios to film a series of poetry films with Kat Francois. It was such an honour to have had them at ours and big thanks goes to little ginger films for the connection.

The advantages of using a tablet set up for teleprompting
We live in a world where the need to speak in front of camera is becoming ever more prevalent. If you’ve ever engaged in any sort of marketing, the chances are you’ve needed to speak on camera - whether that’s to impart your industry expertise or insights, promote a service or a product, or to just tell an engaging story.?
But it can be a daunting prospect and not all of us are media trained, able to present articulately on the fly. That’s where using a teleprompter can help. Over the last decade, we've seen more and more people use this lightweight, cost effective tablet set up.?

The tablet solution comes with a rig that is designed to easily fit in front of the camera lens, reflecting the words up onto mirrored glass. This allows you to deliver straight to camera. All you need is a teleprompter app loaded onto the tablet.
The advantages of using the tablet are:
The limitations:
Here at FW, we use the Teleprompter Pro app on our studio iPad for small production jobs. Once we load the client’s script onto the app, we have control over the speed at which the text scrolls and the text size. Either the producer/director, or the production assistant, adjusts these controls between takes. This is a lightweight, simple approach, and it provides ease and flexibility.
Next time you need a teleprompt solution and a sound-treated studio to film in, get in touch!
