He also heads up our video production services and is never happier than with a camera or drone controller in his hands. He’s always got an eye on how the latest technology can be employed creatively and imaginatively to help find fresh perspectives. Ross loves a laugh yet always remains focused and committed to getting the job done. His attention to detail is truly inspiring, and he always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is absolutely perfect before signing off. Ross really doesn’t settle for second best (even if he does support Hibernian FC).

Representing Arms & Leg’s most recent investment, his interdisciplinary expertise and evergreen charm perfectly position him to carry out the studio’s ever increasing business development activities. Whether it’s wrangling 100 extras on an international multi-million dollar shoot all the way to negotiating win-win terms with national clients, he recognises that trust is the metric all relationships thrive or wilt by. Judge not a man by his achievements alone, but by his community- Pedro’s deep connection to international talent & crew means there’s no job too big, no mountain too high.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content. #### Static and dynamic content editing A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content.

Our renovated attic space is situated in Leith, Edinburgh’s creative community. ### Our studio is our creative home Since moving to our attic in Leith last year, we’ve spent time getting it just right. From the layout of the room to the lighting and the sound system, our studio is based on the aesthetic principles that inform everything we do. It’s where we edit video and photo, shoot interviews, and host workshops with leading typographers, designers, copywriters and videographers, as well as being a venue for hosting socials and networking events with like-minded creatives. It’s a truly collaborative space that inspires us, where we can best work together as a team and with our clients.

It really is our home. We literally grew up here and it’s where our roots lie. ‍ Inspired by this, we recently commissioned a mural for our meeting room, painted by the locally based but internationally renowned street artist **Elph**. The mural presents a futuristic Leith, which has once again become part of the natural world, and features a number of characters (including a film crew on top of one of the local landmarks; you might recognise them). The level of detail in Elph’s work is absolutely incredible. And what’s more, it even glows in the dark!

We quickly identified that the essence of the project would be to communicate four different perspectives associated with Scotland’s New Year celebrations. We partnered with the recently appointed Scots Makar, Kathleen Jamie, and the acclaimed folk band Rura, to produce a film that brought together film, music and words in exploring the complexity of emotion that New Year can present, as well as celebrating Scotland’s natural beauty. We were responsible for identifying and casting all actors and taking care of all the associated logistical arrangements. Despite the tight timeframe from the initial commission to delivery, we fulfilled the brief well within the agreed time. The film was met with an overwhelmingly positive response both from the commissioners and viewers across the world. It has now received almost 500,000 views across different platforms, a figure that continues to grow.

Forecast is a privately owned data solutions company based in Edinburgh, with offices in Australia and Poland. It is a rapidly growing firm within an ever-expanding industry and, as such, is keen to attract the best global talent within the field. The company’s CEO and senior management team have strong feelings about the type of candidate they wish to attract and that they feel might best integrate within the Forecast culture. Therefore, they wanted to produce a film that stood out from similar offerings representing their competitors. Our film was framed around the expression of their four core company values, with members of the team reflecting upon how their own professional experiences have corresponded with these to date. We wanted to capture authentic reflections and experiences, to help create a film that might speak clearly to suitable candidates and not seem staged or contrived. Data scientists are, perhaps unsurprisingly (!), often somewhat introverted by nature, and the Forecast management team was concerned that live, on-camera interviews may not be the best way to gain insights from the team. However, we were able to allow the staff to relax and speak both clearly and openly, and express the diversity of experience, backgrounds and opportunities at the company. Following the delivery of this project, we have received a significant amount of thanks and positive feedback from Forecast, as well as commissions for future work to be completed later this year. Sorry # Sorry We’re having a little trouble. ## Brand Values Overview # OUR BRAND VALUES Just like a real body, we've grown organically as a company — from two friends to a core team of four, with a large and ever-growing network of talented freelance partners. But our culture has always been based on the same core values. ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718e34bb0203d34b96b85bf_arms%20and%20legs%20ident%20logo-01.svg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718b61e39ba19bfd29cb7f7_our%20process%20-%20creative.svg) We're the sum of our relationships Everything we do is based on collaboration — both in house and with clients. Everyone's got their own story to tell and each of us brings our own experience and perspective. Acknowledging this allows us to develop truly original concepts and solve problems creatively. We're friends first, colleagues second. As a team, we know that we can always trust one another for professional and personal support. ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718b61e7044fb9ee840f286_our%20process%20-%20pre-production.svg) The truth might hurt But hurts a lot less than the alternative. Everything’s easier when everyone’s on the same page. We pride ourselves on being unashamedly honest and transparent, with our teammates and clients alike. You can depend on us to tell the truth, even when it might (initially) be uncomfortable. When we want to achieve great things, it's more important to make sure the foundations are solid before we begin than it is to protect anyone’s ego. Once we know where we are, it’s easier to figure out where we need to get to. ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718b61e0db273e2e9b48d67_our%20process%20-%20production.svg) We never stand still In an ever-evolving industry, we're at the forefront of employing new technology and equipment. But not in a gimmicky way. We're just continually innovating to find creative ways of telling stories and find fresh perspectives. Everyone here has a growth mindset and is committed to learning sharing their skills with the rest of the team. When one of us gets better, we all get better. ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718b61eb4ba9a3e67695f84_our%20process%20-%20post-production.svg) Whatever it takes We always deliver. When we agree to take on a project, you can be sure we're 100% committed to getting it over the line. We set the highest standards for all of our own work, but we don't stop until the client is happy. ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6017e55c8eeedf1033084257/6718b61e449141a3efbaa893_our%20process%20-%20delivery.svg) **We’re serious about having a laugh** At the end of the day, we genuinely love what we do — that's why we do it. And while we take it seriously, we also prioritise having a good time. If you work with us, you’ll soon get used to exercising your laughter muscles.

The Brief Our latest project took us on a journey into the world of blended Scotch Whisky. Commissioned by Whisky Magazine and Ardray, this feature-length documentary explores the rich history and intricate craftsmanship of blends and their place in today’s whisky culture. Our task was to produce an insightful and engaging documentary that would not only educate but also captivate whisky enthusiasts around the globe. This project required us to capture the nuanced story of blended Scotch, tracing its evolution from the early 1800s to the present day, while highlighting the people and places that make this spirit so special. ‍ Blended Scotch Whisky: Everything You Need To Know From 1823 To Ardray - YouTube [Photo image of Whisky Magazine](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl4tBCKqMoUIEitz2i7U9xQ?embeds_widget_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.armsandlegs.co.uk%2F&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.embedly.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.embedly.com) Whisky Magazine 16.5K subscribers [Blended Scotch Whisky: Everything You Need To Know From 1823 To Ardray](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmolv-sxSoQ) Whisky Magazine Search Watch later Share Copy link Info Shopping Tap to unmute If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

Speaking with whisky history expert Justine Hazlehurst, she provided expert commentary on the rise, fall and renewal of blended whisky in Leith and beyond which enriched our narrative with detailed historical context. **‍** ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/669e68d9f2c855fd1fc60658_A7402276.jpg) ‍ ### **Glen Garioch Distillery, Aberdeenshire** Our next step was to visit this historic, working distillery where we delved into the traditional methods of whisky production. We conducted interviews with Richard Bates, development director at Ardray and master blender Calum Fraser, who provided deep insights into the intricacies of blending and a detailed tasting overview of each of the four components that make up Ardray. ‍ ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/669e6944e1df35f6baa4547b_A7401714.jpg) ### **Swift Bar, London** **‍** Finally, our journey ended in a contemporary setting to explore the current conversation surrounding blends and their place in modern whisky culture. We had conversations with bar manager Rachel Reid, and Ardray’s brand ambassador Stephanie Peck, which added a contemporary angle to our story. Our collaboration with [**Whisky Magazine**](https://whiskymag.com/) and [**Ardray**](https://www.ardray.com/) was instrumental in ensuring the documentary’s authenticity and depth. Their insights and guidance helped shape the final product, making it not just a film, but a celebration of blended Scotch whisky. The result is "A Fresh Perspective: Blended Scotch From 1823 To Ardray," a documentary that we believe will stand the test of time. It’s available to watch for free on [**YouTube**](https://www.youtube.com/@whisky_magazine), inviting whisky lovers everywhere to join us on this journey through the history and future of blended Scotch. ‍ No items found. ##

The show follows [Michael Collins](https://www.instagram.com/espncaddie/?hl=en), stand-up comic and long-time PGA Tour caddie, as he travels the world’s finest golf courses and meets some of the sport’s top talents, as well as some its most interesting local characters. The episode we helped film was a preview of the Genesis Scottish Open 2022, which was about to take place at the [Renaissance Club](https://trcaa.com/) at Archerfield in East Lothian. Over the course of three shoot days, we crammed in a lot, visiting golf courses including Musselburgh Old Course and the Renaissance course itself, where Michael played three holes with Scottish curling hero [Eve Muirhead](https://www.teamgb.com/athlete/eve-muirhead/40xatbBjTiriY1GAuXBYbo). As well as being on the course, Michael took the opportunity to visit the [Scotch Whisky Experience](https://www.scotchwhiskyexperience.co.uk/) on the Royal Mile, where he was introduced to whiskies from the five regions of Scotland by Master of the Quaich Julie Trevisan-Hunter, and took part in the famed Aberlady hostelry, the [Ducks Inn’s](https://www.ducks.co.uk/) very own putting game (off the top of the bar!) by landlord and local golfer Malcolm Duck. And there was also time for a wee skit at Gosford House near Longniddry. It was a great experience for us to work with such a professional crew, with a very clear sense of what they were doing. However, we were able to help in a number of important ways, by being able to set things up on the ground before their arrival, and help with the logistical arrangements of the shoot, as well as providing camera operators who worked closely with the director to capture footage in line with the show's look and feel. We had such a great time working with our American colleagues — now friends — and we’re certain that we’ll collaborate again in the future.

ART+TECHNOLOGY - BTS.mov from Arms & Legs on Vimeo No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach When we were approached by the Singapore-based production house The Smalls to collaborate with them and Bloomberg to produce season 5 of Art+Technology, we jumped at the chance. The show features some of the world’s most exciting artists and technologists. Having been in a remote-only format for the previous seasons, this season was to be the first that the host, Gemma Cairney, would converse with the guests — dialling in from across the world — within a studio setting in Edinburgh. We took care of all the on-the-ground logistics. Working closely with The Smalls team in Singapore, we put together a crew comprising some of our good pals, including Ross Blair of [Trenchone Industries](https://trenchone.com/), and [Sam Jones LX Designer](https://samjoneslx.com/), to help design and build the set. Although the guests were remote, the conversations took place in real time and we wanted to try and convey this feeling in the cinematography for the interviews, making use of angles that helped to make it feel like viewers are listening in on a real live discussion. The project was sometimes tricky to manage for a number of reasons (mostly the risks associated with any conversations dependent on streaming!), but we were able to pull it off thanks to a really brilliant crew, who all worked tirelessly together to deliver the project. You can view [Episodes 1-6](https://www.youtube.com/c/ArtandTechnology/featured) on YouTube now, before the remaining episodes are released later in the year.

We were engaged to produce a series of high-quality videos to match their new brand identity, developed by [**LBD Studio**](https://lbd.studio/). They wanted to break free from the norm so the challenge was to create something to make them stand out from the crowd and show the people behind the firm at every level. The main deliverables included three sets of videos outlining Blackadders’ approach to providing business and personal legal services, as well as demonstrating its unique culture as an appealing place to work. ‍ No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach ##### Blackadders — Legal advice for Business Blackadders — Legal advice for Business from LBD Studio on Vimeo ![video thumbnail](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1743869786-b7008f90c8d278944742cadfc47f021bfcc6bb74f14d59d444927638c863bb26-d?mw=80&q=85) Playing in picture-in-picture Play Fullscreen ; ‍ ##### Blackadders — Legal advice for Individuals Blackadders — Legal advice for Individuals from LBD Studio on Vimeo ![video thumbnail](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1743869896-d2d59f395447b3a1c874c88f2e817f27da0c3377d584ea0a566f7a1bcb28981d-d?mw=80&q=85) Playing in picture-in-picture Play Fullscreen ; ‍ ##### Working at Blackadders — Our culture Working at Blackadders — Our culture from LBD Studio on Vimeo ![video thumbnail](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1743869490-6046511b02286bcb4f536100de7186911e1cf36b1d1ca68e791dd63465ee15c8-d?mw=80&q=85) Playing in picture-in-picture Play Fullscreen ; ‍ We invested time in pre-production to work closely with LBD Studio to make sure our ideas for the video content aligned with their vision for the brand. The visual identity of the brand was to be a feature in the videos so we decided to bring them into the live physical space where they were being filmed. For this we hired out the weaving shed studios, which provided a large studio space and infinity curve which would give us enough space to use as a blank canvas. Our main idea was to project animated visuals of the brand components behind each subject and use creative lighting to extend the colour palettes into the rest of the scene. We decided to film this with a behind the scenes look to highlight the transparency and honesty that the client was aiming to showcase and to connect viewers to the film-making process. We employed a comprehensive camera setup, consisting of four cameras strategically positioned to capture a multitude of angles during the interviews. This setup allowed us to showcase not only the interviewees but also the entire studio arrangement, including the crew and camera equipment. We hired in a set of Canon Sumire primes from a Glasgow based rental house [**No Drama**](https://www.no-drama.co.uk/) for a subtle, cinematic and expressive look that would complement the intimate nature of the shoot. The videos themselves were interview-led, with a focus on each participant making a sense of direct contact with the camera. For this we used an ‘ [**Eye Direct**](https://eyedirect.tv/)’ system on the camera to give the impression that each interviewee was speaking directly to the camera, but in reality, they were simply having a conversation with the interviewer, sitting off-screen — so everyone felt comfortable on the day. ‍ ### Credits **Director** Liam Bonar **Director of Photography** Ross Addy **Camera Operator** Tommy Slack **Producer** Bartosz Liszka and David Lee **Sound Engineer** Chris Marr **Editor** Ross Addy **Hair and Make Up** Sandra Cormack No items found. ## Feedback No items found. ## Credits ## Behind the scenes [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15dbcb40a84befcdce_Blackadders_A_L_BTS.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15787d2bbf15d2f531_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-6.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c158d2bc348735fdd04_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-8.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c152523e14bed051836_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-19.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c1593f8dff77a4fd437_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-23.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c1542ee316b29b2426f_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-25.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c152933580bc4f08e8d_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-26.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15b5d8ffa52eeee578_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-27.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c155c480d3e4c80ce09_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-32.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c156a315eff20cb3c1a_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-37.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c1542ee316b29b2425b_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-46.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15b3073ee0b351c0c8_Blackadders_BTS.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c150b45172bac4f440c_Blackadders_BTS-13.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15947983be3f6bb291_Blackadders_BTS-15.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c155df2cc6584162238_Blackadders_BTS-24.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15b5d8ffa52eeee580_Blackadders_BTS-30.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15da8616897751e25e_Blackadders_BTS-37.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c15a826b9c45b15352a_Blackadders_BTS-38.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/65422c1578aa799e4b6f83f7_Blackadders_BTS-44.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/6542438ee1f61fda4170fa32_Blackadders_A_L_BTS-40.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/blackadders-business-and-private-legal-services#) No items found. ## Book us for your NEXT project!

This film delves into the rich history of Bowmore Distillery, Scotland’s oldest distillery on Islay, and explores how it became one of the most sought-after and collectible single malts in the world. The documentary brings together voices from across the island, offering a deeply personal and insightful look into Bowmore’s legacy. We had the privilege of speaking with key figures, including Rachel McNeill from the Islay Whisky Academy, Peter McLellan from Lucci’s Whisky Bar, David Turner, Bowmore’s Distillery Manager, and Tim Morrison, the former owner of [Bowmore](https://www.bowmore.com/en-gb/). Their stories, alongside stunning visuals of Islay’s rugged beauty and the whisky-making process, form the heart of the film.

The film’s narrative explores the origins of whisky-making on Islay, the evolution of Bowmore under the Morrison family and Suntory’s stewardship, and the distillery’s place in the modern whisky landscape. We wanted to capture more than just the whisky – we aimed to showcase the island, its people, and the traditions that make Bowmore a legend. From the cultivation of peat to the delicate distillation process, we filmed every step that goes into crafting Bowmore’s signature flavour. The film also highlights key milestones in Bowmore’s journey, including partnerships with Aston Martin and the release of ultra-rare expressions, showing how it has cemented its place as a global whisky icon. No items found. ## Our Approach ##### **Pre-Production & Planning** With just a few weeks to prepare, we carefully mapped out the locations, interviews, and visual elements to ensure we could capture the essence of Islay and Bowmore in just five days. Research played a key role in shaping our interview questions, helping us bring out the rich personal histories of those who have been part of Bowmore’s story. ##### **Production** Over the course of five days, we filmed across Islay, capturing breathtaking landscapes, the iconic Bowmore Distillery, and the whisky-making process in meticulous detail. From the atmospheric peat bogs to the historic warehouses filled with ageing casks, every shot was carefully crafted to reflect Bowmore’s deep connection to the island. Our interviews with Rachel McNeill, Peter McLellan, David Turner, and Tim Morrison added depth and authenticity to the story, each sharing their unique perspectives on the evolution of Bowmore and Islay’s whisky heritage. ##### **Post-Production** Bringing the documentary to life in the edit was a rewarding process. We combined footage of the distillery and island with carefully curated archive footage and photography. Motion graphics helped illustrate key moments in Bowmore’s history, and a rich soundscape immersed viewers in the whisky-making process, from the crackling of peat fires to the rhythmic pouring of new-make spirit into casks. ##### **The Final Film** Since its release, Bowmore: The Making of a Legend has been incredibly well received, and we’re thrilled to see whisky lovers and Bowmore fans engaging with the film. It’s a story of tradition, innovation, and passion – a film that pays tribute to one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries and the people who keep its legacy alive. If you haven’t seen it yet, pour yourself a dram and check it out – we’d love to hear what you think! ‍ ‍ No items found. ## Feedback No items found. ## Credits ## Behind the scenes [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c0c744109b205a9c4_DJI_0055.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c963bb506f7f76f82_DJI_0016.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c4531a3af43e6387a_DJI_0002.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c8ac6bffe5d7893f6_A7406005-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c21a2c6def526c5df_A7405954-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9cd9ad87e6633a0137_A7405985.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c9bef44be22dd0ec1_A7405866.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9ccd236a377673dba9_A7405810.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c2babb81c8c75ab01_A7405762.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c72f0872028117837_A7405739.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c701a9382a7da5bb8_A7405640-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c1b68a8c8193940f9_A7405609.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c4dff2e72451d84fd_A7405571.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9ceb413205a7d05356_A7405569.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c4dff2e72451d84fa_A7405551.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c2668f70eba118313_A7405498-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/67aa1a9c40efd201d4d60d8d_A7405456.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/bowmore-making-of-a-legend#) No items found. ## Book us for your NEXT project!

For their Winter Campaign, they wanted to highlight the struggles faced by people across Scotland this winter, offering reassurance that support is available. We were thrilled to collaborate with Scottish spoken word artist [Kevin McLean](https://www.iamloud.co/about) for this project. Kevin crafted a powerful poem, inspired by focus group findings from CAS, reflecting the lived experiences of those struggling with energy bills and the rising cost of living. Worried this winter?

The narrative follows two intertwined journeys: Kevin, narrating the poem as he walks through the streets of Leith, and a woman struggling with financial stress at home. Their paths cross at the film’s conclusion, symbolising connection, support, and the transformative power of seeking help. No items found. ## Our Approach #### **Pre-Production** With the poem in place, we had an intense week to storyboard, plan, and produce the film. It felt like laying down the train tracks as the train was already in motion! Our team worked closely to ensure the story’s emotional arc resonated while staying true to CAS’s message of hope and support. #### **Production** We filmed over two days in Leith and at CAS’s Dalmeny Street office, using our in-house crew to capture the journey of the poet and the woman. The choice of location was deliberate, reflecting the everyday environments where these stories unfold. The first day focused on the exterior walking shots and office scenes, while the second captured the intimate moments in the woman’s home. To create a sense of authenticity, we worked with natural lighting where possible, while our talented crew added layers of cinematic depth to enhance the mood. The project’s quick turnaround demanded precision and adaptability, but the end result was worth every late night. ### **The Final Film** The finished piece weaves Kevin’s evocative narration with a visual journey of struggle and hope, showing that support is always available. The film highlights the human connection at the heart of Citizens Advice Scotland’s work, bringing their message to life in a way that’s both relatable and inspiring. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out on YouTube—we’d love to hear your thoughts. ### **A Word of Thanks** This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and quick thinking. From Kevin’s incredible poem to the efforts of the CAS team, every part of this campaign came together beautifully. We’re so proud to have played a part in helping Citizens Advice Scotland continue their mission of supporting communities across Scotland.

We spent over 8 years of our youth running parties there every Wednesday night. And so when we were asked if we wanted to produce a unique live stream there for DJ Mag’s top 100 Clubs, we jumped at the chance. Our vision for the production was use the small size of the club as a feature, to create an intimate perspective of the artists at work and provide different sense of the space. Rather than hide them away in the booth, we opted to position the DJs in the centre of the dancefloor and shoot down towards the bar area, to give a greater sense of depth to the scene. We enlisted the help of our super-talented friend [Sam Jones](https://samjoneslx.com/), who fitted the club out with Titan Tubes and an array of other flashy lights. Martin Sweeny of [Unstable Creations](https://www.unstablecreations.com/) added projection mapping, featuring video clips of the crowds from various events at Sneaky Pete’s over several years (including some of our very own Witness nights). We made use of a six-camera setup, with motorised sliders and jibs from [Edelkrone](https://uk.edelkrone.com/) to give movement to our unmanned cameras. We were delighted with the result of the stream. Check out both mixes in the video above.

We were approached to create a short film to showcase the production process behind their new ‘we the free’ wax jacket which was designed in collaboration with fabric mill, Halley Stevensons, the pioneer of waxed fabrications based out of Dundee. The main objective of the film was to interweave together three strands: heritage, craft and product, bringing together the people and processes that transform raw materials into a jacket that is a wearable testament to the power of collaboration.

Having already worked with Halley Stevensons in the past, we had a good sense of what makes them so special as a company in which heritage, craftsmanship, and creativity converge. In this film, we delve into the collaborative journey between Free People and Halley Stevensons, exploring the HS factory and the human handiwork that goes into the jacket. We explored the history of Halley Stevensons by conducting interviews with some of the key people who have been involved in the production of the jacket, including management figures as well as those on the shop floor. We allowed them to describe in their own words what makes working at Halley Stevensons a special experience, and how far the company’s traditions/culture have been upheld and continue to inform their day-to-day work. These interviews formed the basis of the voiceover, creating a tapestry of the different personalities, perspectives and skill sets that have been involved in the jacket’s production.

That’s the concept we brought to life in our latest project for [**Orbis**](https://www.orbis.com/uk/individual/home), _Through Our Lens: The Unsung Heroes of the Energy System_. We’re delighted to share that this piece has been awarded Best Storytelling in Any Medium at the [Citywire](https://citywire.com/) Engage and Goldmine Awards! Here’s a closer look at how this award-winning project came together. ‍ No items found. ## The Concept The idea was to use the metaphor of a theatre production to tell the story of the energy transition, highlighting how the power grid and its supporting infrastructure act as the unsung heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes. While electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines often take centre stage, the supporting "cast"—the grid, transformers, and energy storage solutions—are just as critical to the show. By using the workings of a theatre, from the backstage crew to the dazzling performances under the lights, we aimed to tell this story in a fresh and engaging way. No items found. ## Our Approach #### **Pre-production: Planning Every Detail** With just one day to shoot, meticulous planning was essential. The project involved a presenter, four dancers, and six backstage crew members, all featured in choreographed scenes with numerous moving parts. We carefully mapped out every moment in the storyboard phase to ensure the energy of the concept would translate seamlessly on screen. #### **The Shoot: Bringing It to Life** The shoot took place at the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline, a venue that provided the perfect backdrop for our story. From the glow of the dressing room mirrors to the ropes and pulleys backstage, every detail reinforced the metaphor. It was an action-packed day, with dancers performing on stage, backstage crew pulling ropes and adjusting lights, and our presenter tying it all together. Thanks to a fantastic team effort, every moment went off without a hitch, and the energy of the day is palpable in the final film. #### **The Award** We’re incredibly proud that _The Unsung Heroes of the Energy System_ has been recognised with the Best Storytelling in Any Medium award at the Citywire Engage and Goldmine Awards. The judges praised the piece for its originality and creativity, and it’s a testament to the collaboration between Orbis and our team at Arms & Legs. It’s always rewarding when a shared vision comes to life, and this project was a fantastic example of pushing creative boundaries together. #### **A Final Word** For us, it’s the process as much as the product that makes a project special. From initial storyboarding to seeing the finished piece on screen, this journey has been an inspiring one. We’re deeply grateful to Orbis for trusting us with this concept and for working so collaboratively to bring it to fruition.

Based at their Baltic Works site in Dundee, they are an independent firm with over 150 years of expertise and heritage. We were engaged to produce some high-quality videos to match their new visual identity, developed by [**LBD Studio**](https://lbd.studio/projects/halley-stevensons/). The main purpose of the videos was to provide an up-to-date overview of the Baltic Works site. We were asked to demonstrate the specialist processes that Halley Stevensons provide, in a manner that provides potential clients with a real sense of the feel of the factory — without having to travel to Scotland, as many of Halley Stevensons’ partners are overseas. No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach We invested time in the pre-production phase, getting to understand Halley Stevensons’ brand, in terms of its legacy and the people involved. Given that many of the processes are complex and bespoke, we worked closely with the team to develop a clear shotlist, in order to establish everything that had to be included. Shooting took place over a single day, when we were blessed with beautiful conditions that helped to show off Baltic Works in its best light. We used a mixture of different lenses to provide different perspectives of the processes, including getting up close to illustrate the detail and quality of Halley Stevensons’ work. In the post-production phase, we worked closely with LBD Studio to integrate iconography from the new visual identity as part of the videos, and to create a set of accompanying motion graphics, in order to help make the videos consistent with the brand identity. ‍ ### Credits **Director of Photography and Camera Operator** Ross Addy **1st AC** Talha Imam **Producer** David Lee **Motion graphics** Bartosz Liszka **Editor** Ross Addy ‍ ‍ ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f737b6c6d62f4ae0bf9087_HS-Mark.gif) No items found. ## Feedback ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4fb26cb90696e9f9e4_A7401464-(1).jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a7628e68a6e7c4ccaac_A7401433-(1).jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a7503e3624cd863634c_A7401367-(1).jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4ff99f455e4303b4af_A7401512.jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4e890c9b72599690f5_A7401484.jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4f890c9b725996915c_A7401434-(1).jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4eff75e0a3b06407bb_A7401510-(1).jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4ebc28a63e0974ac60_A7401529.jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4ff100bfb0c4146771_A7401586.jpg) ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/64f73a4eb26cb90696e9f96d_A7401597-(1).jpg) No items found. ## Credits ## Behind the scenes No items found. ## Book us for your NEXT project!

The goal was to create a compelling 30-second TV advert that not only showcases the school’s exceptional facilities, but also captures the spirit of its pupils and the journey they take during their time there to become Real World Ready. ### **The Brief** The High School of Dundee is one of Scotland’s most respected independent schools, known for its commitment to academic excellence, personal development, and community. The goal was to distill all of that into a broadcast-quality television advert that would air across STV and digital platforms, supported by a parent testimonial video to sit on their website. Altar provided the creative direction and storyboards, and we were brought in to manage production from the ground up including shooting, directing, and editing the campaign across three tightly planned days. ‍ High School of Dundee - Real World Ready from Arms & Legs on Vimeo ![video thumbnail](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/2006117375-237b7db9f38ea742813d270fc93d3861269775b4a9d8d2c3591c91c82a903b21-d?mw=80&q=85) Playing in picture-in-picture Like Add to Watch Later Play 00:00 00:30 CC/subtitlesSettingsTranscript QualityAuto SpeedNormal CC/subtitlesOff Picture-in-PictureFullscreen [Watch on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/1074670840/66df6990dd?fl=pl&fe=vl) No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach ### **Pre-Production:** In collaboration with [Altar](https://altar.agency/), we set out to align the creative with a clear production strategy. While the storyboards provided a strong narrative framework, we brought additional visual storytelling ideas to the table - most notably, a framing concept that linked the start and end of the film to symbolise the growth of a student across their educational journey. By opening the film with a young child entering the school and closing on an older pupil stepping confidently into the world, we created a visual arc that echoed the transformative role the school plays in shaping its students. Scheduling was key, as we had a wide range of locations and age groups to film in a short timeframe. From science labs to art studios, performance spaces to playing fields, every location was carefully selected to represent the school’s comprehensive offering. ### **Production:** Over three full days on campus, our crew moved across classrooms, common areas, and outdoor spaces, capturing authentic interactions between pupils and teachers, and showcasing the facilities that make the High School of Dundee stand out. We filmed students of all ages in real classroom environments, giving the piece a grounded and dynamic feel. The students were an absolute credit to the school: focused, welcoming, and clearly thriving in their environment. The staff were equally accommodating, helping us navigate a tight schedule with impressive flexibility. Alongside the main TV spot, we also filmed a series of testimonial interviews with parents. These were used to create a longer-form edit for the school’s website, providing a more in-depth look at the values and experiences that define the school community from the perspective of parents. ### **Post-Production:** Editing a three-day shoot into a 30-second broadcast piece presented its own challenge, but it also sharpened the storytelling. Every frame had to earn its place. We focused on rhythm, clarity, and emotional pacing, ensuring the finished film felt complete despite its tight duration. To unify the visuals, we brought in spoken word artist Lucy May Wilson to record a voiceover at our in-house studio. Her narration added warmth and continuity, guiding the viewer through the arc of a student’s journey from arrival to graduation. A clean, modern grade and sharp sound design elevated the film further, helping it feel both cinematic and contemporary, reflective of the school’s forward-looking ethos. ### **The Final Film** The final advert is now live across TV and online platforms, supported by extended content for web and social use.

The vision? To craft the world’s first 100-year-old single grain whisky, released over the course of four decades. Our film would introduce the project through its inaugural release – a 60-year-old Girvan – and capture the quiet brilliance behind this legacy in the making.

We set out to tell a story of vision, patience, and family legacy. Filming in the dunnage warehouses of [William Grant & Sons](https://www.williamgrant.com/) and at the historic Hazelwood House itself, we wanted to explore not just the age of the whisky, but the people and philosophy behind it. Through evocative visuals and reflective storytelling, we aimed to create a film that felt as timeless as the spirit it celebrates. No items found. ## Our Approach **Pre-Production** With the launch of the 60-year-old Girvan on the horizon, we worked closely with _Whisky Magazine_ and [House of Hazelwood](https://www.houseofhazelwood.com/) to shape a production plan that would allow us to film both the beauty of the surrounding landscapes and the deeper themes of legacy and ambition. Research and sensitivity were key, this project had decades behind it and decades ahead. We planned interviews, location setups, and visual sequences that would highlight both intimacy and grandeur. **Production** We filmed over several days in the heart of Speyside, moving between the exteriors of the distillery and the depths of century-old warehouses. Inside, we captured the ageing casks, rare coopered wood, and the people entrusted with these spirits. We filmed interviews with key figures including John Ross, Ian McDonald, George Carail, and archivist Andy Fairgrieve. **Post-Production** In the edit, we focused on tone – the pace needed to feel measured, to mirror the weight of the project itself. We layered the visuals with some of the incredible photography that Andy Fairgrieve has spent the past few years archiving. This gave us an amazing insight into the history of the family, and we even got to see shots of the original casks from when they were first filled. These archival elements added depth and texture, bridging the past and present. **The Final Film** The resulting film premiered across _Whisky Magazine_’s platforms to coincide with the official release of the 60-year-old expression. It’s an introduction to one of the boldest projects in whisky history, not just a story of rarity, but of patience, family, and long-term vision. It was a privilege to help bring it to life. We’re looking forward to checking in how things progressing in the next 10 years.

With years of collective experience, they are one of the UK’s only remaining workshops that designs, manufactures and fabricates all of their signs in-house. Working with clients across the country, they push creative boundaries to create custom neon signs that pack a punch. When we arrived at the address of the workshop, we were bemused to find ourselves outside an apparently disused railway building off Slateford Road in Edinburgh. Once inside the building, however, we were welcomed by the warm glow and buzzing sound from the various coloured illuminated neons. It was a surprising but striking contrast to the exterior of the workshop. We shot footage in the workshop and interviewed Emery and Sandy, who founded the company, to gain an insight into why they started the business, how they came to learn these skills, and to discover the process of making a neon sign. Emery is newer to the game, but has a real flair for innovation and design, while Sandy is an experienced mentor, and keen to pass his skills onto the next generation. Together they make an ideal team and are reigniting what was a dying art. It is rare to find products that are handmade in the UK from start to finish these days, and working with real passion, the guys are driven by a slightly mad enthusiasm for what they do. We wanted to reflect this by creating a high-end piece of video that would not only showcase their talent and products, but also give some sense of the story that supports each piece. Neons certainly aren’t an easy thing to make, but there is something genuinely magical when they are finally switched on. Documenting this complete process made it easy to appreciate why the members of the Solas team are so passionate about what they do.

To visually represent this passage of time, the ticking clock emerges as a recurrent motif with each tick representing the centuries it took to make the whisky, stressing the care and effort that went into it, culminating in those last few moments of the journey from bottle to glass. By juxtaposing the bottle's craftsmanship against each of the elements, the advert illustrates the fusion of human artistry and the raw beauty of the natural world. Working from within our own [**studio**](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/studio), we used macro lenses to capture the details of the bottle and the whisky pouring into the glass, along with flickering tube lights to highlight the rugged shape and intricate design of the bottle. The final 'hero' shot of the bottle was created using a turntable and an LED screen as a backdrop displaying embers to give the impression of a newly formed bottle from the colliding of these elements. We also provided a range of promotional product shots courtesy of [**Jimmy Reid**](https://www.facebook.com/jimmyreidphotography/) as well as social cutdowns for various social media platforms and **Youtube.** No items found. ## Feedback No items found. ## Credits ## Behind the scenes [![Behind the scenes using automated slider to shoot new Dun Cana bottle from the Isle of Raasay distillery](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed9b9946316cd97d5b5_A7409356-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) [![Ross Addy setting up the slider for the Dun Cana bottle shoot for Isle of Raasay distillery](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed80bba50f9e4d5d79f_A7409366.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) [![Dun Cana bottle in all it's glory ](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed975269a3b3c0c807c_A7409386-Enhanced.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed887eeb5a335595f80_A7409406.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) [![Tommy Slack helping us with the shoot for the Isle of Raasay Dun Cana bottle](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed90bba50f9e4d5d7b9_A7409327-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/659c1ed982c63166dda1dca4_A7409332-Enhanced-NR.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/isle-of-raasay-dun-cana-bottle-release#) No items found. ## Book us for your NEXT project!

Omega-3 oils are essential nutrients for both human and animal health, but the current method of sourcing these oils—primarily from wild fish—has severe ecological consequences. MiAlgae offers a sustainable alternative by producing **NaturAlgae**, a nutrient-rich microalgae that can be used in animal feed, particularly for aquaculture and pets, reducing the need for wild-caught fish. By leveraging co-products from the whisky distillation process, MiAlgae has created a circular economy model that turns waste into value. The company's technology repurposes wastewater and pot ale from whisky distilleries as feedstock for algae cultivation, providing an innovative, eco-friendly way to produce omega-3 oils. This not only alleviates pressure on marine ecosystems but also contributes to significant reductions in CO2 emissions and water waste. The purpose of this project was to communicate MiAlgae's innovative approach, technological advancements, and their commitment to environmental sustainability. The video needed to clearly explain the environmental problem, introduce MiAlgae’s solution, and highlight their broader mission of reducing humanity's impact on the planet.

We collaborated closely with MiAlgae’s team to craft a script that conveyed the importance of their mission, focusing on key messages: - The overfishing crisis and its impact on fish stocks and aquaculture. - The innovative use of microalgae to produce omega-3 oils. - The partnership with the whisky industry to recycle waste products and create a more sustainable production model. - MiAlgae’s broader vision of biotechnology for good, focusing on improving food security and reducing environmental impact. **Interviews**: We conducted interviews with key stakeholders, including MiAlgae’s founder, **Douglas Martin**, who shared the origin story of the company, its mission, and the future vision. These personal insights helped to humanise the brand, portraying MiAlgae as a purpose-driven company with a clear goal to create positive change. **Stock Footage and B-Roll**: To visually represent the environmental problem and MiAlgae’s innovative solution, we utilised stock footage showing: - Marine ecosystems and the global issue of overfishing. - The whisky distillation process to highlight the sustainable partnership. - Microalgae production and its transformation into animal feed. These visuals reinforced the script’s key points and gave the audience a clear understanding of the broader context. **Motion Graphics**: Custom motion graphics were designed to visually break down complex processes, such as: - The overfishing problem. - The biotechnology process used by MiAlgae. - The benefits of using algae as a sustainable source of omega-3s.These graphics helped simplify technical concepts and kept the viewer engaged while clearly communicating the science behind MiAlgae’s innovation. The final video successfully communicated MiAlgae’s mission and innovative approach. It highlighted their role in the sustainable production of omega-3 oils, positioning the company as a forward-thinking biotech innovator. The video was used by MiAlgae for investor presentations, on their website, and across social media platforms to raise awareness about their solution to the environmental challenges posed by the fishing industry.

All of their products are handcrafted from the finest American materials, and are built to go the distance. This ethos permeates all of their output, giving wearers the confidence to tackle the harshest landscapes. They wanted to create a video that showcased their boots, aimed predominantly at a European audience, but that would also resonate with their existing core American customer base. This video was captured over the course of a week on the northwest coast of Scotland. We visited some iconic locations and some lesser-known hidden spots we have discovered on our travels over the years. The journey began at a friend’s hotel in Lochailort, which we used a base for the first few days of filming. Here, we captured the forest scenes in the nearby woodland and the scene with the old Jacobite train passing under the bridge. The main opening scene was shot off the coast of Arisaig, next to the Isle of Eigg. Our original plan for getting a boat out to sea had fallen through and we were in desperate need of a boat and a skipper. We spent a few hours at a local bar in Arisaig and got chatting to some fisherman who helped us out getting a rib to tow our old rickety row boat (which definitely wasn't sea-worthy). After all this stress, however, we were blessed with a gorgeous sunset behind the epic Isle of Rum. The following day, we moved up to Applecross for the next stage of our journey. We were staying next to a beautiful coastal road next with amazing hidden gems nearby, and this is were we shot the landing scene in a hidden cave. Our final stop was Torridon, where we walked the Ben Eighe route to Coire Mhic Fhearchair. Since this video was aimed at an American audience we wanted to finish with some more familiar scenery. So where better than the spot used in the Highlander sword training montage? We captured a lot of the mountain scenes here with our camera on the gimbal and with the drone. After a long hike in, we managed to get the final shot with Tommy standing proud with his Origin boots on overlooking one of the finest landscapes in Scotland. > We’ve crossed continents and seas.

[DSM](https://www.dsm.com/corporate/home.html) is a global purpose-led science-based company active in health, nutrition and bioscience. It is one of the largest employers in North Ayrshire, with a total staff of around 500 people producing several products, including Vitamin C and Vitamin B5. DSM recently announced plans to expand the Dalry site by constructing a new plant to produce [Bovaer®](https://www.dsm.com/anh/products-and-services/products/methane-inhibitors/bovaer.html), DSM's unique methane-reducing feed additive for cattle. Almost a third of methane emissions come from livestock farming, and reducing methane emissions is one of the best opportunities for slowing global warming. DSM's Bovaer® additive presents a vital contribution to this effort. We interviewed Rob de Hooge, the Site Director, and Ashley O'Brien, a Senior Quality Assurance Officer at DSM. Both gave a sense of how exciting DSM is as a place to work, and the opportunities this new plant will continue to offer local people, and the chance to play a part in Scotland's transition to a greener economy. ‍ The four films are, by nature, very different. Scotland offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and economic opportunity. It is an attractive destination for those looking to live and work in a dynamic and thriving country. From the bustle of city life to thriving communities in more remote areas, it was a real privilege to meet such brilliant people and to get a sense of the variety of different experiences and opportunities our small country can offer. Working on this project reaffirmed our love for Scotland and reminded us that it's too easy to take it all for granted when you've grown up here. ‍ ### Credits Director: Nick Afchain Executive Producer: Ruth Holland Edit/Grade: Tim Fernandez Producers: David Lee and Bartosz Liszka DoP: Ross Addy 1st AC: Talha Imam Sound: Bryan Mcintyre and Chris Marr Runner: Harris Redpath No items found. ## Feedback No items found. ## Credits ## Behind the scenes [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d6d31a9cd179f5aba_A7401637.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9df28c2f4569196110_A7401753.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9df9c5d384b21aec11_A7401788.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d4890675fdae8ce7b_A7402007.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d7e8a7b101614c787_A7401959.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d4890672d33e8ce7a_A7402077.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d5f065cf826622558_A7402836.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d13b5383f4647ff16_A7403024.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d14e898e225917f7e_A7403032.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d14e8981401917f7f_A7403036.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9e8ab3d8f7d4453b05_A7403120.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbe9d85b80e555a1a567c_A7403127.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf3513b5385537480b93_A7403186.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf34405a8765378ad211_A7403258.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf342bc7f4971e30900b_A7403284.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf3559166ed8a6a6b692_A7403372.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf347e8a7bc6ad14cc77_A7403512.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf34eed260df82795877_A7403668.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf3485b80e9f0d1a632d_A7403531.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf358ab3d81867454668_A7403658.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf350077dd56e85955f0_A7403685.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf353073455f7c017043_A7403715.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) [![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60197284105aaf04d1c3d758/641dbf358c1434bceb76ec84_A7403720.jpg)](https://www.armsandlegs.co.uk/work/scotland-is-now#) No items found. ## Book us for your NEXT project!

No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach We were engaged to work with the TED team as part of the Global Countdown event held live in Edinburgh, just before COP26, the United Nations climate conference, was held in nearby Glasgow. [TED](https://www.ted.com/) has become one of the world's most instantly recognisable platforms for knowledge exchange. This is largely due to their subtle but carefully curated house style across all their media outputs. Therefore, the first step of this project was to liaise closely with the in-house TED media team and build up a thorough understanding of their brand guidelines, so that everything we shot was consistent with TED’s look and feel. The event was held at the [Edinburgh International Conference Centre](https://www.eicc.co.uk/), inside which we had to construct a series of different sets suitable for the different pieces we were filming. These ranged from simple pieces to camera to in-depth discussions between multiple people, necessitating a multi-camera setup. We wanted all the discussions to feel natural, yet be shot with a cinematic quality. Following each shoots, the materials needed to be quickly uploaded with a careful structure to TED's post-production team. The data management for this project therefore required a significant degree of careful handling. However, thanks to our brilliant crew, everything was delivered in plenty of time.

With creative direction from Liam Bonar at [LBD Studio](https://lbd.studio/), our team entered pre-production with a strong focus on authenticity and logistics. We began by identifying key community contributors and story moments that would carry the emotional weight of the campaign. Site visits, casting conversations, and detailed production scheduling followed, balancing creative ambition with operational precision. From drone flight paths to light mapping at key locations, every decision was made to elevate the genuine character of the places and people we were filming. This was a campaign about real life which happens in natural light, unscripted moments, and often on tight timelines. ### Production Over one intensive week, our crew travelled from the east coast to the heart of Perthshire, filming in St Andrews, Broughty Ferry, Kenmore, and beyond. Our goal was simple: to capture authentic moments, beautifully. We employed a nimble, documentary-style approach. Natural light was favoured over artificial setups. Handheld movement gave the visuals a sense of intimacy and immediacy. And, importantly, our contributors weren’t actors, they were the very people the campaign was made for: lifeboat volunteers, musicians, local shop owners, and community champions. KT Tunstall’s involvement added a powerful emotional resonance, grounding the campaign with a familiar voice that echoes from the region itself. Her on-location performance was a standout moment and a reminder that the soul of this film lies in its personal connections. ### Post-Production In post, the raw footage was shaped into a cohesive and emotionally resonant campaign. Our edit leaned into natural pacing and subtle transitions, ensuring the tone matched the sincerity of the content. We avoided over-stylisation, allowing the strength of the visuals and the voices to speak for themselves. A particularly meaningful decision in the edit was how we chose to open and close the film. We bookended the campaign with dynamic transitions that move in and out of _The Courier_'s digital interface, acting as a visual metaphor for the newspaper’s evolution into a modern, digital-first platform. These transitions are more than stylistic flourishes; they symbolise the gateway between the everyday world and the deeper stories captured within _The Courier_'s pages, both printed and digital. Sound design played a pivotal role. Waves breaking in Broughty Ferry, distant laughter from a village café, and the cheers from a last minute goal, all helped ground the viewer in each scene. A carefully curated score underscored emotional beats without overwhelming them. Each location, each person, and each story was woven together to create a tapestry of local pride, one that reflects _The Courier_'s ethos and celebrates the deep, often unspoken bonds that tie a region together. ### **The Result: A Campaign with Heart** The final campaign is now live across STV, Sky, digital platforms, and out-of-home media, but its true impact is felt in the communities it represents. This film is not about big headlines or sweeping statements. It’s about small moments that matter. About belonging, resilience, and pride. We’re proud to have played a part in helping [_The Courier_](https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5195041/courier-campaign-launch-local-stories-make-us/) bring this story to life, and prouder still to contribute to a campaign that elevates the everyday with cinematic grace.

The four characters are all on different journeys, geographically and mentally. Cait’s is the voice of a young woman, who’s returned home after her first term at university, and wants to tell her mum about her girlfriend. Donald is a seasoned hillwalker and mountaineer, who traditionally marked Hogmanay with a walk with his friend, who has recently passed away, and is trying to summon the courage to go it alone. Nana Jean has found it tough keeping in touch with her grandchildren via Zoom and can’t wait to be with them for the holidays, while Callum is working his last shift of 2021 as a train conductor and is just excited to get to the pub with his pals.

We wanted to create something that would celebrate people returning to Edinburgh once again, to be reunited with their families and friends, while meditating on the events of the past twelve months. Even though it didn’t look like there would be a full-scale street party, we wanted to help people appreciate the relationships that bind us, as we move toward post-pandemic life. We knew that we wanted the film to represent a diverse range of voices, reflective of 21st-century Scotland, and celebrate both the Edinburgh cityscape as well as the great Scottish outdoors. From the start of the process, we worked closely with Kathleen and RURA. Kathleen quickly penned four short poems, each from the perspective of a different character, and RURA set to work on creating a score. The four characters are all on different journeys, geographically and mentally. Cait’s is the voice of a young woman, who’s returned home after her first term at university, and wants to tell her mum about her girlfriend. Donald is a seasoned hillwalker and mountaineer, who traditionally marked Hogmanay with a walk with his friend, who has recently passed away, and is trying to summon the courage to go it alone. Nana Jean has found it tough keeping in touch with her grandchildren via Zoom and can’t wait to be with them for the holidays, while Callum is working his last shift of 2021 as a train conductor and is just excited to get to the pub with his pals. ###### **The Production Process‍** Although the characters are each on their own journey, we wanted the whole film to have the feel of one continuous journey. We kept this in mind throughout the pre-production phase. The first step was taking Kathleen's four poems and interweaving them in a way that allowed each story to unfold, while creating part of a greater whole and establishing the film's broader themes. We did this at our studio in a good old-fashioned way, getting out the scissors, pens and post-its, experimenting with how different variations affected the flow. The next step was casting the four characters and the supporting actors for each of the stories. After putting out a casting call, we managed to find six fantastic actors to take on the roles (the four main characters, plus Cait's mum, and partner, Anya). Each of the actors really found an affinity with their character, between recording the voiceovers in our studio and shooting on location. Throughout the project, we kept a keen eye on the Covid-19 situation, as the Omicron variant began to be detected in the UK. Ensuring the wellbeing of all our crew and the actors was one of our highest priorities, so we were keen to shoot outdoors as much as possible, and took all reasonable precautions to make sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. We managed to source locations in Edinburgh for all of the scenes evoked in Kathleen's poems, but we were particularly excited about capturing Donald's journey. His poem describes him thinking about going up Schiehallion, ruminating about whether or not he's still got it in him to make it to the summit. Fortunately, Matthew Zajac, who played Donald, is an experienced mountaineer himself and assured us that he was keen to go all the way to the top. Shooting on Scotland's mountains in early December is always unpredictable, and the weather forecast for the week didn't bode well, with wintry conditions and heavy snow predicted. But undaunted, we made our way up to Perthshire, only to find the perfect window — clear weather, with a gentle breeze, and a crystalline landscape, with incredible shots of the snow-topped peak. It was absolutely perfect for the drone. ###### **‍The Edit‍** The turnaround time between finishing the shoot and getting the final film ready was tight, but this is where our intensive pre-production work really paid off. On returning to the studio, we already had such a strong idea of how the story fitted together. We were comfortable in the knowledge that we'd managed to get all the shots we needed. So, although there was a little bit of back-and-forth, it was relatively straightforward cutting to the fantastic track that RURA had created for us. ###### **The Final Film‍** Our film was released on 31 December and quickly began to receive acclaim from viewers in Scotland and across the world alike. People seemed to really connect with its intimacy, and its portrayal of the difficult journeys we've all faced over the past couple of years. **Side note** As it happened, the street party and torchlit procession were sadly unable to take place, due to the increasing Covid case numbers. So, the film ended up being even more special. It's now been seen over half a million times by viewers across the world. It was a real privilege for us to work with both Kathleen Jamie and RURA. The final film is a testament to the power of teamwork and how much we can achieve in a short space of time when working alongside such talented collaborators with a strong collective creative vision. ‍ No items found. ## Feedback > "Gorgeous film and lovely sentiment.

We streamed their fascinating discussion in front of a small audience in the magnificent Festival Hub, at the foot of the Royal Mile. A world-class violinist and passionate advocate for the arts, Nicola Benedetti was recently appointed Festival Director of EIF. Her first festival is framed by the question: 'Where do we go from here?' Her question is asked in response to recent funding cuts and the changing landscape surrounding the arts. No items found. ## The Concept No items found. ## Our Approach As part of the conversation, Joyce asked Nicola a series of stimulating questions, allowing her the opportunity of outlining her exciting ambitions for the festival over the next few years, as well as her responses to the challenges that she identifies. Nicola’s aim is to deliver ‘the deepest possible experience, with the highest quality performances, to the broadest possible audience.’ We used a three-camera setup, which (hopefully!) didn't interfere with the live audience's engagement, to stream the conversation live to The Scotsman and EIF's Facebook pages. Following their conversation, members of the live audience and those watching the stream were invited to submit questions to Nicola online. It was enlightening to hear both the audience’s questions and Nicola’s perceptive responses to them. You can watch the stream back on [**Facebook**](https://www.facebook.com/TheScotsmanNewspaper/videos/the-scotsman-exclusive-qa-with-nicola-benedetti-edinburgh-international-festival/952065349555134), but definitely check out the full programme for this year's Edinburgh International Festival, which runs from 4-27 August with some 295 amazing events on their [**website**](https://www.eif.co.uk/).

We were approached by [Think Huge](https://thinkhuge.net/), who work with Switch Markets as a strategic partner, to produce a series of video ads for Switch Markets’ ongoing marketing campaigns. The brief was to create performance driven ads that could speak to different stages of the marketing funnel, while maintaining a consistent brand identity across all content. The key challenge was to communicate the value of Switch Markets without relying on technical explanations or traditional trading visuals, instead focusing on clarity and approachability for a broad audience of traders. No items found. ## The Concept Our approach focused on mindset rather than mechanics. Across the campaign, we leaned into the idea of focus, discipline and ambition as shared traits between trading and other demanding pursuits. Rather than explaining how trading works, the films aim to reflect how it feels to trade with purpose. The tone is grounded and human, using simple scenarios and strong visual language to reinforce the idea of control and momentum. Each ad is designed to work independently while still feeling part of a wider campaign, unified by the message of bringing ambition into focus.

In pre-production, the ad was fully storyboarded using a combination of [Frameset](https://frameset.app/search) images and animated GIFs arranged in sequence on [Milanote](https://milanote.com/). This approach allowed us to clearly define pacing, transitions and visual rhythm before stepping on set, and has since become a key part of our workflow across all Switch Markets ads developed with [Think Huge](https://thinkhuge.net/). Production took place over a single day at a rented flat location sourced through [Scouty](https://www.scouty.com/), allowing us to capture all interior scenes efficiently in one controlled environment. Exterior shots were filmed nearby, including a tracking sequence achieved using rollerblades to maintain fluid movement while keeping the setup lightweight and flexible. The result is a fast-paced and attention grabbing piece that has already amassed over 2 millions views through the [Switch Markets Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@switchmarkets). ‍ Enter the ring - YouTube [Photo image of Switch Markets](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3EwM2nlqMA88h1Kg_rh3tg?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.armsandlegs.co.uk%2F) Switch Markets 1.03K subscribers [Enter the ring](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHeyoWLa4cM) Switch Markets Search Info Shopping Tap to unmute If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

The film centres on repetition, control and routine, aligning closely with the campaign’s emphasis on focus and intent. The shoot took place over one day at [Coppola Boxing Gym](https://coppolaboxinggym.godaddysites.com/), working with actor [Daniel Khawar](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12865165/). To get to those hard to reach angles over the boxing bag, we incorporated a jib for controlled camera movement alongside a slow shutter technique to introduce motion blur during scenes of fast movement to help us convey intensity without relying on fast cutting or heavy visual effects. The end product is a tactile, performance driven piece that prioritises mood and rhythm, reinforcing the idea of preparation before action. ‍ Climb to new peaks - YouTube [Photo image of Switch Markets](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3EwM2nlqMA88h1Kg_rh3tg?embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.armsandlegs.co.uk%2F) Switch Markets 1.03K subscribers [Climb to new peaks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OKD1qJhpCU) Switch Markets Search Info Shopping Tap to unmute If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

For this shoot, we travelled up to the picturesque Back Bowden Doors, working alongside climber [Robbie Phillips](https://robbieclimbs.com/) and filmmaker [Emil Torday](https://www.instagram.com/email_today/?hl=en), whose combined skills allowed us to get shots level with the climber mid-climb to place the viewer directly in the action. This required careful coordination and positioning to maintain safety while achieving the desired framing. The final product is an intense and visceral piece that efficiently communicates the parallels of climbing and trading, and the shared challenges to reach the top. #### **Future Work** Working with [Switch Markets](https://www.switchmarkets.com/) has been an ongoing and rewarding collaboration, giving us the opportunity to explore a consistent set of themes across a variety of visually and creatively interesting settings. Each film has allowed us to experiment with tone, form and approach, while staying true to the core ideas of focus, discipline and ambition that sit at the heart of the brand. As the partnership continues into 2026, we’re excited to keep building on this foundation, refining the work and exploring new environments and concepts together.

Founded by brothers Jonathan and Robert Likarish, Ironroot has become a major player in the Texas whisky scene, garnering accolades from across the globe. The brothers, alongside their family, have poured their hearts into making not just whisky, but a legacy. This was the essence of what we wanted to capture on film. In just 10 years, [Ironroot Republic](https://www.ironrootrepublic.com/) has scooped up titles like World’s Best Bourbon and World’s Best Corn Whiskey, and after spending three days with them, it's easy to see why. Their passion, innovation, and dedication really blew us away. Our team dove into the fabric of the Likarish family’s success by interviewing not just Jonathan and Robert, but their family, friends, and the dedicated workers at the distillery. In just three days, we were able to dig deep into their origin story—what started as a dream and has now become an internationally recognised brand, known for its innovation and craftsmanship. Ironroot isn’t just another distillery. Their approach to whisky making is as distinctive as the Texas terroir that influences every bottle. The brothers, under the mentorship of French brandy master Hubert Germain-Robin, have pioneered methods that mix traditional techniques with the demands of the Texas climate, particularly the scorching heat and low humidity. It was crucial for us to capture not just the process but the passion behind it. From the copper pot stills to their unique barrel-ageing method (known as élevage), every step of Ironroot’s process is a labour of love and science. One of the most powerful aspects of this project was capturing the bond between the Likarish family. Their story isn’t just about whisky—it’s about family, resilience, and a shared vision. Whether it was their mother Marcia, known as the ‘Mother of Texas Whisky,’ or their father John, who helps run the day-to-day operations, Ironroot is a family affair. Their collective strength and vision have been central to Ironroot's meteoric rise. Our goal was to distill the essence of the Likarish family and their groundbreaking whisky. The final product? A short but impactful film that brings to life the grit, passion, and innovation that defines Ironroot Republic.
