Just before Lockdown 2.0 we were approached to create some visual content for The Floodgate, Birmingham.
Brief: To create 3x 15 sec videos of the different fun zones that they have as well as a 1 min hero video that captures the venue, activities, cocktails and food for their online and social marketing.
Here’s a peek a what we did:

Back in September, we were happy to be asked to join in solidarity our global #eventprofs and help to capture some highlights of #WeMakeEventsBrighton’s #RedAlert lighting of the seafront in red…
Everyone has been impacted by the pandemic, some have been totally ceased to a holt including all the aspects of events that people don’t even realise, transporting, catering, lighting, entertainment, venues, project teams and more…
…We’re sending our love out everyone not just the Global Events Industry and let’s hope things bounce back soon.
It is great to be in action again!
We recently worked with Aysha Bell, a Yoga Instructor and Gong Meditation Guide, to create images to jump start businesses online and social media marketing post-lockdown.

It’s fair to say that as we prepare for the easing of lockdown here in London that things will not be the same, at least not in the immediate to short term.
That is a tough one indeed and, as Pubs, Bars and Restaurants prepare to open their doors on July 4th, it will definitely not be Business as Usual, but nonetheless, our businesses must adapt and go on…
We’ve seen:
People can no longer touch, taste or smell before buying. ‘Maître D’ meet-and-greet’ and recommendations are on pause, and the old “we’ll have what they’re having” scenarios are ceased.
Moving forward is crucial, so (if you haven’t already) now is a great time to improve and update your business’s online content and offerings to shout out and showcase the changes your have made, your new products/services, and the fact that you are unbeaten and still here!
Well, if you didn’t know already, DRGNFLY Productions Ltd have on hand amazing creators that can work with you to create a wide range of content:
I had the pleasure of working with Darren and his team on a few occasions. Everyone is very engaged, helpful, friendly and of course shoots gorgeous pictures & video! I happily recommend DRGNFLY Productions Ltd to my clients as I know what service they will receive

This week we launched the first of our Youtube Tutorials that can help you be creative at home and during the #Lockdown.
First Episode: Getting Started with Lightroom Mobile
Thinking about the future, it’s always great to forge forward with a sense of where we’ve come from and the things we’ve achieved and, with that in mind as well as the desire of wanting to give back to a community I’ve learnt so much from, I decided to create tutorials about @adobe’s #lightroomMobile.
Now, though the weather is beaming and many of us are blowing off the lockdown cobwebs and racing outdoors, my aim here is to not just educate people but to also inspire them to go back through the many images they’ve collected on their devices over the years and to relive, enhance and maybe even create something new to share or reconnect with those involved.
Starting off with a quick tour and aimed at all skill-levels, Founder & Director Darren Bandoo guides you through free mobile photo-editing app, Lightroom Mobile. In these 5-min tutorials, you will learn how to enhance existing images making them better before you add your filters, add and create your own style and save presets, and all-in-all up your photography game.

COVID-19 is devastating lives, families, communities and economies with no foreseeable end in sight and our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted the most and lost people close and dear to them…
We are in some very uncertain times, indeed. With global lockdowns, social distancing and isolation it seems like civilisation is on pause for everyone. And, while we wait for solutions and vaccines, from something so destructive and painful to us comes just one positive as our cities, industries and lives come to a halt carbon emissions are reducing greatly and Mother Nature gets a moment to heal… It’s taken this to make that happen!
Could the changes we make now to the way we live, work and play become the blueprint for the future?
Working smarter not only for our personal safety but for the benefit of all, including our planet?
Virtual offices, Video conferences, Virtual Hang-outs, FaceTime and social media are commonplace for those well versed and once frowned upon but the masses are fast becoming important and everyday tools for us to stay in touch and connected. Social Events, Festivals, Concerts are all transitioning to these platforms for live content delivery…
It’s a time for thinking differently.
Do you have content you wish to deliver to your audience? A panel discussion with remote speakers, perhaps?
Let us help you deliver live content, edit it for your video channel(s) and create bite-sized chunks to get your message to your audiences across your social accounts…
#EventProfs #Events
If you missed this exclusive event with ILEA UK, it focused on macro global consumer trends and buying behaviours and what they mean in the live experience in 2020.
…Trends discussed were:
Here’s a sneak peek:
Located The Savoy’s Ballroom, this was set to be a decadent night. Filled with faces from across the fine dining industry (chefs, foodies and celebs) donning black ties and gowns that set my camera ablaze…

It’s always a pleasure to find our work online and it’s even more amazing when it gets featured in print and even to magazines!
2019 was a good publishing year for DRGNFLY Productions with spreads in both FAB UK Magazines and London’s Foodism Magazine. We have images used in an H&E article for BOLD and a little presence in The British VOGUE for a kids clothing brand PANDA.
