### BearJam Vlog – February Highlights: Knight Frank, Jordans Cereal, Davina McCall Live, and Historic England

February may be short, but at **BearJam**, we packed it full of diverse and exciting **video production projects**. From filming cereal in kitchens and interviews in empty offices to **live directing from home** and crafting animation for recruitment, we kept creativity high and production moving — even during self-isolation.

🎬 **Watch the vlog** to see how we made it happen, and read on for the full breakdown.

#### Knight Frank: Hybrid Interview Production for Online Events

With in-person events still on pause, we helped **Knight Frank** bring their thought leadership to life through **video content for virtual events**. We filmed a series of conversational interviews at their near-empty Baker Street HQ, using a **natural discussion-led approach** to put contributors at ease.

To complement the in-person content, we also captured **remote interviews** and tied everything together with a consistent **graphic treatment** in post. The result? A professional, polished set of event-ready films that maintained authenticity without feeling overly formal.

#### Jordans Cereal: Macro Tabletop Shoot in a Home Studio

Next up: granola. We turned a kitchen into a full-on **tabletop video studio** to film content for **Jordans Cereal**, showcasing their Super Berry and Super Nut granolas across multiple social platforms.

Using **dual cameras** to capture footage simultaneously for **Instagram Stories** and **YouTube 16:9**, we maximised efficiency without compromising quality. We even broke out the **pro lens kit** for some gorgeous macro detail shots — and yes, that milk was actually PVA glue (our top tip for food styling that lasts all day on set!).

#### Ryvita Live with Davina McCall: Multi-Crew, Multi-City, Multi-Tasking

One of the month’s biggest challenges — and proudest moments — was delivering a **live event video production** for **Ryvita**, hosted by none other than **Davina McCall**. The livestream included a workout, a cook-along, and a panel discussion, with **multiple crews across different UK locations**.

Then came the curveball: I had to self-isolate due to a positive COVID case at home. But thanks to BearJam’s rock-solid **production team**, we enacted our contingency plan. Tristan stepped in on set while I directed remotely via video call. The show went off without a hitch — a true team effort.

#### Historic England: Animation for Recruitment

We were delighted to start work with a **new client**, **Historic England**, on a **recruitment campaign video**. The brief? Promote a specific job role in a fresh, engaging way. Our response: a **voiceover-led animation** using their own photography, delivered with a contemporary tone to stand out from traditional job listings. We’re excited to see how it performs.

#### The Gut Health Doctor x Usana: Filming with Remote Client Oversight

Another outing with **Dr. Megan Rossi** (The Gut Health Doctor) saw us back in the studio filming a **presentation to camera** for her ongoing partnership with **Usana**. This time, the Usana team — based in the US — were able to join us live via video call, offering feedback and approvals in real time as we filmed.

This is exactly the kind of **hybrid shoot model** we’ve perfected, enabling international teams to collaborate smoothly — no matter where they are in the world.

#### Coming Soon: UK Anti-Doping Project

We’ve just won a new brief with the **UK Anti-Doping Authority**, and we’re already racing into production. More on that in next month’s vlog…

From **corporate interview shoots** and **home-based food styling** to **live event streaming and animation for HR**, February was a month that truly showed off the versatility and adaptability of the BearJam team.
