How we work

Everything we do at Bonfire is driven by our passion of telling stories with feeling, and that is exactly how we work from the seed of an idea to final delivery.

We founded the company in 2019 following a combined 30 years of creating content for broadcasters, brands, charities, live events and music videos.

As a small production company, the team is able to give each project the attention it deserves, and agile in how we approach every production.

Collaboration
We work closely with our clients and take the time to understand where the beating heart of each project lies.

In-depth discussions, asking the right questions and coming to every job with an open mind and sense of humour allow us to develop a creative approach that meets your objectives and exceeds your expectations

Planning
We approach every project with a mix of curiosity and adaptability, and really do our research so that we develop a deep understanding of the project. Whether you’ve come to us with a crystal-clear concept or just a spark, we build treatments that are well researched, clear and unmistakably original.

Filming
When filming, we try to keep things as relaxed and non-invasive as possible, creating the right environment for those in front on camera to be themselves… however, when the time is right, we are partial to flashing our drones, gimbals, lighting rigs and bells and whistles!

Editing
We shape your story with polished, platform-specific edits—whether it’s cinematic long-form or sharp social content. We can also weave in motion graphics and animations. Everything we edit is tailored and beautifully crafted, all for you.

Results
We have a proven track record of getting tangible results – films for our clients have been viewed millions of times. From documentary films for heritage organisations, museums and galleries, to video content for charities and universities or films promoting new life-changing technologies for blind and partially sighted people, we’ve got you covered.
