The Discovery Houses are some of the most unusual places cared for by the National Trust, each given a bespoke introductory film.
We worked closely with five property teams to create films that introduce their stories with clarity and warmth, appealing to a broad range of visitors. Combining animation, visitor perspectives, indoor aerial footage and cinematic filmmaking, each film presents its property from unexpected angles. Designed for use both within the houses and online, the films build excitement and give visitors the context and confidence to explore further.
Working alongside the property teams, we created five bespoke films that now play within the houses and online. Each one needed to establish historical context, remain culturally accessible and appeal to wider demographics while presenting these remarkable buildings from angles visitors might not expect.
Using animation, visitors' perspectives, indoor aerial shots, cinematic filmmaking and a strong narrative thread, the films were designed to do more than inform.
The result is a set of introductions that build excitement and invite visitors to explore the properties with confidence and curiosity.
We’re a team in every sense of the word, and work together across disciplines without ego to find the very best solution. With relentless enthusiasm for the work and an excitement about realising a vision.
