Northern Fashion Week Filming
It’s been a busy week of Northern Fashion Week filming in Manchester. Hosted at Manchester Central Convention Centre in the city centre, the event ran from Thursday 8th to Saturday 9th July and brought together a strong mix of talent, energy, and northern creativity.
Tomorrow’s Creative provided crew and equipment across the event, capturing the designers, the models, and the atmosphere to support a promotional film. On a fashion showcase like this, the goal is simple: deliver coverage that feels premium, moves at pace, and communicates the scale of the event—while still letting the work, the styling, and the craft shine.
Northern Fashion Week continues to grow year on year, and the content needs to work hard too. That’s why Northern Fashion Week filming isn’t just about runway coverage. It’s also about the moments around it: arrivals, backstage detail, reactions, and the energy in the room. Those shots add texture and help the final film feel immersive rather than staged.
Production approach
We shot in UHD using a combination of Sony FS7 and Sony A7s cameras. This gave us speed, flexibility, and a consistent look throughout the schedule. We combined live multi-camera coverage with a more natural documentary-style approach, which meant we could cover the key “must-have” moments while still capturing authentic story beats in between.
This hybrid approach works particularly well for fashion event filming. Multi-cam ensures clean runway coverage. Documentary coverage then brings the personality, detail, and atmosphere that makes the event memorable.

DWP Newcastle Filming
We were on location this week for DWP Newcastle filming, working on behalf of client Brands2Life. The brief focused on capturing interview-led content and supporting b-roll around the use of Logic devices across the organisation. It was a great example of corporate filming that needs to feel professional, while still staying calm and respectful of a working environment.
On operational sites, the workflow matters as much as the visuals. So we kept the setup lean, planned coverage carefully, and worked around day-to-day activity in the space. As a result, the shoot ran smoothly and we captured everything needed without disrupting staff.
Production approach
The story centred on how Logic devices support teams across different departments. That meant we needed more than a single interview. Alongside key contributors on camera, we captured practical b-roll that illustrated the message: people using the devices in context, close-up detail shots, and natural working moments that added authenticity. In addition, we kept compositions clean and consistent so the edit could cut smoothly between locations.
Camera package
We shot on a combination of Sony FS7 and Sony A7S Mk II. The FS7 handled the main interview setup and controlled coverage, while the A7S Mk II gave us flexibility for quicker b-roll and tighter spaces. Together, this package helped us move fast while keeping the look consistent across the day.
Built for business comms
Content like this often has multiple uses. It might live on a website, in internal comms, within stakeholder presentations, or as part of a wider rollout. Therefore, we captured a variety of angles and cutaway options to support different edits, timings, and future updates. If you need DWP Newcastle filming-style coverage for an operational site, we can supply crew, kit, and a streamlined workflow.

Hawaii Video Shoot
We’ve just wrapped a Hawaii video shoot in the USA, filming on location for 10 days with a travel-ready, cinematic setup. When you’re away for that long, you need a package that stays reliable, moves quickly, and delivers a consistent look day after day. So we kept the approach simple: strong visuals, clear storytelling, and plenty of usable coverage for the edit.
To deliver that flexibility, we built the camera package around a Blackmagic URSA cinema camera supported by a set of Blackmagic Pocket cameras. This gave us a dependable “A-cam” for controlled moments, while keeping the option to move fast and grab extra angles when the schedule tightened. As a result, we could cover key beats confidently, then layer in supporting shots that add pace and texture.
Hawaii video shoot: camera setup and workflow
The URSA handled the more controlled shots where we wanted maximum consistency and a premium finish. We used the Pocket cameras for b-roll, alternative angles, and moments that happened quickly. In addition, smaller bodies are perfect on travel shoots because they fit tight locations and allow discreet coverage without slowing the day down.
This multi-camera approach also helps in post-production. Extra angles create clean cut points and keep sequences dynamic. Therefore, the final edit feels lively without relying on heavy effects or filler.
Capturing content that works across platforms
Even on location, we filmed with end use in mind. A single project might need a main website edit, social cutdowns, and short highlight clips for LinkedIn or Instagram. So we captured wide establishing shots, medium coverage for context, and tight inserts for detail and atmosphere. That variety keeps the edit flexible and protects the story.
Production support on location
Tomorrow’s Creative brings a calm, organised workflow to overseas shoots. We keep communication clear, manage the schedule, and stay efficient when conditions change. Ultimately, that’s what makes a Hawaii video shoot run smoothly across a full 10-day schedule.
