Behind the Scenes of an original Christmas campaign for the Isle of Man Government.

Business Isle of Man commissioned us to create an original Christmas campaign supporting local businesses during the festive period.

The idea was developed in-house, with extensive pre-production shaping how the campaign would work before filming began. Concept development, scripting, storyboarding, casting and planning all played a significant part in making the finished piece land as intended.

This page focuses on the behind-the-scenes side of that production. Across the shoot, we captured the cast, crew, setups, direction and on-set moments that show how the campaign came together in practice.

From early planning through to filming across multiple locations, the work combined original creative thinking with careful production to bring the campaign to life.

Our role: Original concept development, pre-production, production, filming and behind-the-scenes capture through to final delivery.
