Martin House Covid19 Appeal

, , , , ,

Martin House Hospice asked me to make a 2019 Christmas fundraising video. It was a good opportunity to capture a few extra interviews and cutaway footage for future videos too:

Early in 2020 I put this little video together:

Later, they needed a few urgent videos as the lockdown has seriously affected their fundraising work. Most of this years’ fundraising events are getting cancelled too. I made a few online appeal videos, and a TV commercial which I managed to get aired for free on Made in Leeds TV.

Martin House – Strictly Get Dancing 2018

, , , , , , , , , ,

For the second year, we were proud to film the Strictly Get Dancing event for the Martin House Hospice. We also created social media videos for the contestants to use on their fundraising pages, as well as many of the video and logo assets played back during the live show. As usual Duncan Wood from ITV Calendar compered the evening and a panel of judges chose the winners. I sent Duncan a stringout of suitable footage that was aired on ITV the following Monday.

Here’s the highlights, full event videos and the ITV news item… Enjoy!

Martin House 2017

, , , , , , , , , ,

It’s been a busy few months.

I’ve been volunteering for Martin House and creating over 30 videos for several fundraising events.

Back in November Martin House had their yearly ‘Strictly get Dancing’ event in Wetherby, however prior to the big night I visited the rehearsal studios a few times to shoot fundraising videos for all the couples. Here’s an example featuring Nicole and Lee, who would go on to win the final event:

After the dance final I sent some trimmed rushes to ITV Calendar who ran this news item on the Monday following the event:

In December I created this little ditty with the help of the music team, staff, volunteers and children of Martin House:

I also suggested a fundraising ‘thank-you’ video which went live soon after:

All of these videos were filmed using my Teleprompter setup, so the people onscreen simply read the text off the iPad screen while looking down the lens.
