Cotswold Canals Connected

This project with Cotswold Canals Connected was all about inspiring people to get involved. We created a series of cinematic short films that highlight the real stories of volunteers — using authentic interviews to show the passion, community, and impact behind the project.

To make the most of the budget, we built AI into the process from the start: using it for planning, scripting, and even voiceover generation. That blend of cutting-edge tools with human storytelling allowed us to deliver a polished, emotionally engaging series while keeping things cost-effective.

The result is content that not only captures the beauty and history of the canals, but also motivates others to step forward and become part of their future.
