Changing the world starts with making a single connection. You need to engage and move people if you want them to work with you, and sharing stories is a great way to do this. When you tell a story using video you can appeal to your audience in an emotive way, utilising visuals and audio to create a genuine and meaningful experience for them.
At Neck of the Woods Films we set out to produce films for innovators, educators and change makers that will stand out and make a difference. We love the work that we do. We’re passionate about helping organisations achieve their goals and connect with people. We’ve helped global organisations, local innovators and even individuals achieve amazing things and we want to do that with you too.
Campaign videos are used globally by organisations to reach new audiences, put important topics in the spotlight and to bring about change. A successful campaign results in people taking action: video and animation make this happen.
Human stories move people, it’s that simple. Organisations encounter these important stories all the time and sharing them with your audience is paramount. They engage people, build trust and show the human side of an organisation. Case study videos are perfect for telling these stories and bringing them into sharper focus than any other format.
Innovators, educators and change makers concentrate so hard on what they do that sometimes they forget to talk about themselves. People aren’t just looking for facts and figures, they’re looking for someone they can believe in and work with. With a brand film, you can show your audience that this is you.
We’ve worked with innovators, educators and change makers of all shapes and sizes. Both large national organisations like Future First to smaller ones like Artswork have trusted us to tell their stories. We’ve made films about incredible fundraising efforts, films for national campaigns and personal case studies. Check our showreel for a sample of our work.

Barton Peveril College wanted to create a prospectus video that quickly got to the heart of who they are. The film needed to be inspiring and energetic to match the college’s environment.
We produced a stylised prospectus film with the aim of creating something that felt like a commercial. The film really showed what life is like at the college whilst also showcasing the incredible staff and facilities on offer.
The education charity Future First were looking to help even more young people with their futures. They wanted to create their first ever brand video to be used as part of their national campaign.
We created a film that was bold and direct. The message was clear, that young people should have the opportunity to build their own future. Hearing this directly from young people made for an impactful and effective charity film.
The Abbey School is a leader in education. They were looking to produce a film that matched this reputation and would stand out from the crowd. The film had to reflect their values, approach to education and the experience of their students.
We created a short film that was unique, stylised and story driven. It tells the story of a student at The Abbey finding the change they want to make in the world. This powerful message made for an impactful promotional video.
The Renewal Programme is a charity that supports people in the borough of Newham. For over fifty years they’ve been supporting marginalised people to build a life and support themselves in the Borough.
We worked with the charity to create a campaign video that would build awareness and help them boost their fundraising efforts.
Ageing in the UK is becoming more difficult, but not everyone is fully aware. Centre for Ageing Better are trying to change this and attitudes towards ageing more broadly.
The key to engaging people on this is hearing from real people. Lived experience is exactly what Ageing Better wants to share in order to drive change. We created this case study film to help bring real people’s experiences to the forefront of the issue and support the work of the charity.
We work with innovators, educators and change makers to create videos about positive change, human achievement and social impact. It may be a story about groundbreaking technology, or the hero film that spearheads a vital fundraising campaign. If you’re looking to change the world in some way, you need these stories to be told well. The organisations we work with make our world better every day, but they aren’t always the best at telling these stories. We’re a full service video agency that help them do just that.
