Our newest work to be released is a project we’ve been filming for , an incredible non-profit who use the law to protect our UK waterways. No one else in the country has the leverage or bravery to take legal action against polluters and regulators. Our new film documents their work and traces their history way back to 1948.
Narrated by Actor and all round fish tickling hero and deftly edited by and creative by we’re really proud to be part of this film and support their incredible efforts. Long may Fish Legal stand to fight for our right to clean, unpolluted waterways. Find the the film in our bio

Sometimes when the edit is finished and the film is all cut and done with, we’re left with visuals that look great, but just didn’t work to tell the story we needed at the time. This little sequence of one of our favourite humans tearing his way up the side of a Black Mountain came out so visually pleasing we had to post it anyway. Full film for .run and out soon.

Our new film for Windeler_ has gone live over on their Kickstarter. They’ve launched a host of new tools to add to their already incredible line of magnetic multi-tools. Follow the link in our bio to find out more.

Kickstarter is a wonderful place for businesses to grow incredible ideas really quickly, unfortunately over the years it's also grown to be a place where video goes to die. The quality of content used to sell ideas and products there has certainly improved over the years, but the thought, story and conception tend to go into the products or services, rather than into the marketing material itself.

At Friction, we worked really closely with Windeler to switch that on its head, to take the concept of an incredible product and do it proud with a host of creative, individual and brave visuals set to attract the eyes and hearts of investors.

Traveling through the city, especially Bristol, can often conjure some incredible parallaxing perspectives. A while back, we needed to shoot some city scene cutaways and this seemed like the perfect excuse to finally realise a host of shots has been dreaming of for around 5-6 years of cycling through the city. To properly capture the beauty of when foreground travels at different pace to background, we needed a long lens, our 110mm Mamiya 645, a camera with high frame rate, Sony FX6 and a gimbal, the ronin RS2. These shots all hit the cutting room floor, but still deserved to see the light of day, so in our spare time we’ve thrown together this short selection of metropolitan, grimy yet starkly beautiful shots.

A few favourite shots from our recent campaign. We worked to build a roster of social films and photography that inspired a sense of energy, fun and intensity.
