Charity Video Production

Video is one of the most powerful ways for a charity to tell its story, capture hearts and minds, and inspire action. IE has created video content for values-driven organisations for decades – from campaign films and explainers to documentary-style stories that show your impact on the screen.

IE’s understanding of the higher education marketplace meant they were able to fully understand the strengths of our proposition as well as the challenges of being a new provider. They came up with a quirky and genuinely unique idea that’s gone down incredibly well. And it was great fun working with them on the campaign. The campaign perfectly captures both our ambitions for the present and our ambitions for the future – a diverse and creative engineering workforce that makes a difference.

FAQs

What types of videos do you make for charities?

We create campaign and fundraising films, explainer videos that make complex services simple to understand, documentary-style films that share real beneficiary stories, short-form social media content, animation and motion graphics, and training films for staff and volunteers. Every film starts with a clear objective, so it delivers your message with impact, authenticity and purpose, rather than just creating content for content’s sake.

Who handles filming and editing?

We handle the concept, script, storyboarding and direction in-house, so the creative thinking stays closely connected to your brand and messaging. For filming and editing, we work with talented commercial production partners that we trust, matched to the needs and budget of each project.

When is animation a better choice than live action

Animation works well when you’re explaining an abstract idea, visualising data, or telling a story where filming isn’t possible or appropriate. For charities, that can include protecting the identity of vulnerable beneficiaries or showcasing sensitive experiences that would be difficult to film respectfully.

How do we make sure our video gets seen

Plan distribution from the start because there’s no point spending money on video if nobody’s going to see it. A film for a fundraising event, a website homepage and a social media feed will each need a different length and format. We create videos that are optimised for each channel and platform that your audiences are using and we make sure every film ends with a clear call to action.
