We take great pride in our work and think that it shows. Have a look and see if you agree. Then give us a call!
A Leading Question was produced with Line Communications and Lloyd Masters on behalf of BP; the films were designed to prompt conversations into how minor issues can escalate into major incidents.
The challenge was to make a highly technical programme engaging and compelling without being over-dramatic.
The film won an IVCA award for Learning & Development at the 2012 awards.
We’ve just finished and delivered a 60 second spot for an Italian client to air on TV to show their commitment to Health and Safety. The brief called for something to tie in the 150 years celebrations of Italian Unity with Saipem’s safety culture. We spent a lovely day in Piacenza with top London Graffiti artist Oli Kenna, an old Italian Vespa and a bag of spray paints…
Written by Miles Furnell, directed by Paul Katis and shot by Martin Testar on the Canon 5D – the one day shoot and edit was delivered inside three weeks from commission.

After a month filled with shoots in Norway, Nigeria and Italy, Pukka wrapped the final day of shooting for its latest Saipem film in Wimbledon studios.
Inside the Wimbledon warehouse space was a full-scale recreation of an Indonesian bazaar, complete with skeins of fabrics, a massive spread of spices, and a real live wok filled with a steaming batch of curry (which, having been stirred vigorously all morning, was complete mush by lunchtime). Despite the miniskirts pictured above, it was actually quite chilly on set, so the cast and crew gathered around a massive heat lamp between takes. Later, we actually wound up using the lamp’s red light to cast an ominous glow on the threshold of a brothel door.
We rounded out the day with a steamy bedroom scene featuring two (nearly) nude actors and some crazy, lo-fi video effects conceived by Paul. While the actors got a bit raunchy in bed, Fergus and Rill used two video projectors to place images of gonorrhea, syphilis, and other nasty STDs growing on their skin.
After shooting, the Pukka crew packed up and went on their way, but not before grabbing some veg and spices from the market — there’s no need to let a delicious-looking sack of whole onions go to waste!

It’s that time of year (or more specifically that month in the year) when despite the protests of our wives and girlfriends, the Pukka team have joined forces to raise money for Prostate Cancer by growing their Mo’s.
Dan looks like something out of True Blood, Paul has something of the RAF about him, Fergus has gone for the Mexican look and I’m just about hanging in there with my hairier colleagues. As for Ana, I think she thinks we’re all mad…
