2024: A Year of Contrasts and Change This year has been a mixed bag. It’s been a year of adapting, learning, and experimenting. After a slow start, Q2 and Q3 were some of our busiest ever, followed by one of our most challenging periods to date. The shift towards short-form content has accelerated, often driven by small, agile teams. There have been fewer documentary projects, but event coverage has grown significantly compared to 2023. Our workflow has evolved too—monitors are now rotated to portrait mode, our office has transformed into an in-house shooting space, and our use of AI tools has expanded exponentially. So, what’s next? We asked our good friends (AI included) to predict content trends for 2025: 1. Hyper-Personalized Content at Scale Brands will deliver tailored videos that speak directly to specific audiences. ✨ Our approach: Combine creativity with automation to stay ahead of the game. 2. Rise of Episodic Short-Form Content Think mini-series for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Serialized storytelling is about to hit big. ✨ Our approach: Storytelling is what we do best. Bite-sized episodes are perfect for retaining audiences and building brand loyalty. 3. Authentic AI Collaboration AI isn’t replacing creativity—it’s enhancing it. Tools for conception, editing, VFX, and voice cloning will become creative collaborators. ✨ Our approach: We keep AI use honest and authentic—just like this post. Here’s to an exciting 2025 🚀. Who knows what innovations are around the corner? What trends do you see shaping the year ahead? Let’s hear them below 👇 Thanks to all the Clockwise Friends, Family, Colleagues and Collaborators.

Our new shooting space is Open for business. Here is a recent product shot for Fielden Whisky Get in touch to find out more.

Bristol’s Cabot Circus shopping centre brought back their ‘Level 7’ car park pop-up skatepark for a third year in a row, and alongside this free-to-use skateable space featured ’Slow Space’ in collaboration with Subway UK & Ireland, CANVAS Skateparks, and Campusskateparks, this was able to cater more directly to both young and beginner skateboarders alike. Through a skateable feature ‘co-design’ workshop held at May Park Primary School, Skateboard GB uncovered themes that are preferable to beginners and young people, including; a hippy jump, humps, kickers, and ramps. CANVAS Spaces then took the drawings made by these young people, built and installed them at Level 7, bringing to life Bristol’s first ever youth-designed skateable space. The features that made up the ‘Slow Space’ had one more journey to undertake to find their permanent home; the playground of the school in which they were designed. They will be there for all the students to enjoy and the after-school skateboarding club will continue to run and thrive by these additional obstacles, encouraging development & growth. The future of skateboarding and education looks bright! Video Production by Clockwise.film Words by Skateboard GB

🎬✨ Why Storyboards Are Essential, But Not Everything! 🎥 When it comes to filming commercials, storyboards are a game-changer. They bring the vision to life, ensure clarity on set, and help keep the creative direction aligned across the entire production team. A solid storyboard lets everyone—from the director to the crew—know what they’re aiming for, reducing confusion and making sure each shot is purposeful and on budget. But here’s the secret: Don’t chain yourself to it! Stay flexible and keep an open mind. Some of the best moments happen when you’re willing to adapt, allowing for spontaneous creativity that can bring unexpected magic to the screen. A storyboard is your roadmap, but trust yourself to take creative detours if inspiration strikes! 🔥 Shot & drawn by the incredible: Sam Coombes #Filmmaking #CommercialShoot #Storyboarding #CreativeProcess #OnSet #Production
