A Creative Day with Our Visual Team
Visual Team Brainstorm and Plan for Upcoming Events
We recently took a break from our usual schedules to spend a day of creativity and collaboration as a team. It’s great to reflect, share ideas, and get inspired together. From exploring the latest AI tools to brainstorming project ideas, it was a great day and really shows the creativity we have as a team. Here’s a look at what we got up to!
We started with a round of knowledge sharing. Everyone brought something to the table, whether it was a recent project we were proud of, a cool thing we’d seen online, or video techniques that had caught our eye. It was a reminder of how much creative stuff is out there and how important it is to stay on top of the latest trends. It’s a good feeling ending the day with a head full of new ideas after seeing what inspires everyone else.
Getting to Grips with New AI Tools
We explored some new AI tools and discussed how they could make our lives easier and our content better. From smart editing software such as AI Rotoscoping to tools that help us get more creative with visuals, it is clear that AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to help us make our work even cooler. My passions are video and technology, so it’s always exciting to see what’s possible when tech and creativity meet.
Planning a Memorable Apprentice Graduation
One of the key discussions of the day was around a special project for a client: creating the visual content for their yearly apprentice graduation. As a business we plan the entire event, that this year will be attended by 600 people. As a visual team we are responsible for the whole look and feel of the event. From the video on the large screens, to the table plan for guests. This years theme is “Power Your Future”, so we brainstormed how to bring that message alive in the video content. Luckily our awesome graphic designers had already developed a concept which we were able to expand on across all of the video content. We’re excited to bring this project to life and create a night that not only celebrates the apprentices but also aligns with the “Power Your Future” theme—a perfect send-off that the client will hopefully be proud of.
Keeping Content Fresh: How to Make the Old Feel New
It’s important that even on content that we produce regularly, we don’t stand still as we always want our videos to feel fresh. We spent some time brainstorming how to level up our regular content. From changing our shooting style to trying out new editing tricks.
Teamwork & Better Processes
We also had conversations about how we can make our workflow better, both within our team, the wider business and with our clients. A lot of it was about making communication smoother, whether it’s during planning, the shoot or in the editing room. As a business there is always room for improvement on the operations side of things and hopefully some of the suggestions, once implemented will make life easier not only for clients but also colleagues.
A Day Well Spent: What We Took Away
By the end of the day, we were pretty excited by the new ideas and feeling recharged. It’s not often that we get the chance to pause, reflect, and talk about what we can do better, but every time we do, it feels like we improve as a team. We can’t wait to put some of these new ideas into action.
