Capturing the spirit of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Fringe for freedom

We shot this trailer for the 2019 Festival during the Edinburgh Fringe 2018. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society gave us free creative rein for the project and our filmmaking crew developed the idea of capturing the perspective of a person attending the Fringe for the first time.

The video is also set to a poem that was written as a celebration of the festival and that, we believe, embodies what this unique event is all about.

Begins and ends with Edinburgh

The trailer stars a local actor, wearing a body brace with a camera attached on it, to capture footage from an experimental reverse point-of-view, in which we are always looking at the actor’s face. It was shot by a two-man crew from Chocolate Films’ Glasgow office, who had a great time filming around the city during the festival, especially as the body brace attracted attention and encouraged strangers to join in.

This was our first commission from the Edinburgh Fringe and we have since made more films together, including one on its outreach programme.

Chocolate Films workshops are absolutely amazing for my child! The team is so friendly and does a great job of keeping the kids engaged. My child loves learning about filmmaking and always comes home excited to share all the cool things they’ve done that day.The workshops are really hands-on and encourage so much creativity, which is fantastic to see. My child feels so proud of what they’re creating, and the films they work on always turn out brilliant.If you’re looking for a fun and creative activity for your kids, I can’t recommend their workshops enough.

Any artist or creative who has not wrapped their head around creating unique visual imagery needs to invest some time, effort and energy on this powerful medium which is now taking priority over a business card or website. Even a short workshop like those on offer at Chocolate Films will set you off in the right direction.

My children attended their film making workshops. What a great time they had! The crew members were fantastic, especially Bea, who has got excellent attitude towards children and tons of patience. I really recommend them, if you are looking for some quality workshops for your children.

I work at Cystic Fibrosis Trust and we are delighted with the animation Chocolate Films created for us. It met the brief and has helped us to explain our activities to current and future partners. Chocolate Films were a pleasure to work with and we appreciated their flexibility in working to a very tight timescale.

Great working with Chocolate Films and the team for our new program. Nikita was a great point of content and we had a blast at the filming studio with everyone. Thank you everyone for your work on this project!

We commissioned Chocolate films to complete a BTS film as a promotional film for our Level 4 foundation course. We were out on location with our own 3 short films with our most senior students, and we needed an extra crew to capture all that was happening on set. They were thoughtful, efficient and proactive. Capturing some great interviews and BTS (thanks Elton!), weaving it into a great promotional film for us. Lucia steered the project beautifully from start to finish (thanks Nikita too). We’ve worked with Chocolate films before and would happily do so in the future. Chloe – London Screen Academy

I filmed a green screen production using sound and it came out great. Lucia and Nikka are lovely and happy to help, the facilities are exactly what I needed (there’s also a make-up room) and it was easy to get to.

Chocolate films produced a fun promotional video for us as part of our 80th anniversary. They were professional with clear communication, and the project was delivered to time.

The video content creation workshop offered by Chocolate Films was incredibly useful, packed full of handy tips on how to create compelling videos with the minimum equipment and time! The space is great and the team were welcoming, generous with their knowledge and clearly enthusiastic about what they do.
