West Midlands Fire Service

Blue Hippo have recently completed five original short films highlighting the dangers of arson for the West Midlands Fire Service.

The target audience is 13-18 and the resource will be used nationally.

The DVD was shot on 1080p HD on Panasonic P2 cards and edited in HD on Blue Hippo’s new post-production facilities.

Top local design agency, Clusta, also contributed some titles and graphics to the project. You can see their stunning titles in one of the five short films from the DVD, the innovative and hard-hitting 322.

Please also take a moment to view the final film from the DVD, which revisits elements from the previous films in a powerful summation piece presented by Jeremy Kyle.

We have recently worked on 4 large high profile media projects for the west midlands fire brigade including DVD projects aimed at nursery school children as part of a national pack and also an interactive DVD for the deaf and hard of hearing community.

What they say about us

From very early on in our plans to produce a hard-hitting DVD on arson, Blue Hippo have been amazingly helpful, insightful and creative. We have felt that they totally ‘got’ what we were wanting to achieve with this DVD – not simply an interesting, attention-grabbing film but one which would also make young people think and change their attitudes. Blue Hippo have surpassed our expectations with their ingenious ideas, useful contacts, amount of time and energy put into this project and the fantastic finished product, which we will be able to use confidently throughout the Midlands to achieve our aim.
