Saipem ENI have launched Phase Two of their Leadership in Safety campaign. Phase One saw Saipem staff around the world attend safety workshops, based on our modular film The Safer the Better, that reinforced the company focus on safe working and how to achieve it.
Phase Two uses a new film to convey the behaviours that are necessary to maintain and improve safe working. Filmed over a week in Sardinia, What Comes First introduces and explains the LiHS team’s Leading Behaviours. The film is being rolled out over a 6 month campaign and is being dubbed into 6 languages.
Pukka Films drama ‘Exposed’ tells the story of Dee, who has to face the consequences of sending compromising photos of herself to her boyfriend. The 7 minute film is used in schools to highlight the dangers of ‘Sexting’ to 14-18 year olds.
At the recent IVCA awards, the UK’s top business and public service communications event, ‘Exposed’ won not only the top award for a film costing under £15,000 but the overall award for best script plus three further awards in the best directing, best drama, and best education film categories.
CLIENT COMMENT “Exposed has been a great success, it is a thought-provoking film that, most importantly, rates very highly with young people and those who care for them. We are very happy with the role Pukka played in helping to design and create the film; they showed creativity and used their expertise to produce something that would grab the attention of young people in a contemporary fashion. They challenged us as a client to think hard about what we wanted from the resource and we feel this ongoing debate resulted in a film we are very proud of.”
‘Exposed’ is a 7 minute film aimed at teenagers aged 14-18, warning them of the dangers of sex-texting, or sexting. Sharing revealing or indecent images of themselves with friends can be easily distributed more widely on the web with devastating consequences.
The challenge for us was to produce a film that would reveal the dangers without preaching. We achieved this by ‘cloning’ our main character to allow her own voice to become the voice of reason – we wanted to contrast her buoyant character before with her negativity after. She herself explores the consequences and where the blame lies before talking herself out of remaining a victim.
The film was shot over two days in London and a special shout out must go to Lambeth Academy for allowing us to use their facilities, and their Year 10 and 11 drama students who did a brilliant job.
The fatal incident rate for waste management and recycling is over ten times the national average with 2,207 reportable injuries per 100,000 workers, and there are more than twice the reported injuries rates when compared to construction. The Dorset Action on Health and Safety (DASH), with the COI and HSE, commissioned Pukka Films to produce a hard-hitting training resource to raise awareness with staff and agency staff of the dangers of road-side waste collection.
A Waste of Time was filmed over three days in Poole, Dorset. Directed by Paul Katis, the film mixes motivational and practical training and features a number of hazards and how to avoid them.
We’ve just finished producing our first film for Inmarsat, the global satellite company. There were two crews: 1 in South Africa and 1 in London… You can guess who went where. Paul headed down to the Cape to film in the very windy and blowy bush and I headed off to Old Street at 6am to capture the live-feed from the bush via satellite onto tape in a machine room (glamourous or what?).
A first real test of the 5D and a steep learning curve for Dave Meadows our DP. But the film looks fantastic and I can see now why South Africa is the place to shoot – if only we could persuade all our clients to let us head there…
