At Feel over the past 20 years we have been asked to do some pretty crazy things. Our extensive production experience across all areas of the industry, including commercials, music videos, online content, feature films and High End TV series means we are perfectly placed to pull off the impossible.
Here are a select few of some of the nuttiest projects we have successfully delivered which have included designing never-before-seen stunts, to closing down large sections of New York, to air dropping a team into a war zone and even getting involved in an Opera.
KIA
Can we launch a sedan across North America and make it cool and sexy?
Can we create a live show with death defying stunts to be broadcast on the internet?
Can we invent a stunt that has never been seen before?
Oh and can you make a couple of broadcast commercials at the same time?
All in a week…..in the middle of the pandemic!!
Yeah we can!
Darrin Prescott of Baby Driver fame and his loyal team of stunt co-ordinators and drivers did an amazing job of pulling this gargantuan task together. We created a live 15 minute show with three drivers jumping the cars simultaneously, the flat spin 360 stunt which has never been done before and a beautiful launch ad all shot in Atlanta at the height of the pandemic.
Watch the films and marvel….
JUDITH
Produced by Feel, Judith is a 40-min film, shot in London and Berlin and starring two of Opera’s biggest stars, John Lundgren and Nina Stemme.
Scored to Bela Bartok’s concerto, Judith is a 40-min cinematic prelude to the 40minute Opera of Bluebeard’s Castle directed by award-winning theatre director Katie Mitchell.
Projected on a film screen at the prestigious Munich Opera House, audiences were met with a provocative and challenging film, that tells the story of Bluebeard, his entrapment of women, and one woman's quest to thwart him.
The Opera of Bluebeard’s Castle, also starring John Lundgren and Nina Stemme, followed the screening of the film to resolve the story, with the set design echoing the locations and production design of the film.
The experience was met with a rapturous standing ovation and critical acclaim.
RANGE ROVER
Can you make a 5 minute action film with the New Range Rover sport through the streets of Manhattan?
Can you produce it so it can cut seamlessly with live footage of Daniel Craig finishing of the route down 33rd and 8th and actually driving into a party of 1000 people and up onto a stage?
Can you make it all look as if it has seamlessly taken place from dusk through to night even though the sections are shot 6 weeks apart and over many days?
Can you shut down the Manhattan Bridge and flood the Park Avenue underpass for 8 city blocks?
Oh… and can you make sure that no one in New York gets a picture of this completely embargoed vehicle whilst you are filming?
Sounds crazy but this was the brief and we did it.
Through meticulous planning, considerable security and a number of specially designed tricks we managed to orchestrate this huge shoot with tents, covers and camouflage to hide the car in order to pull off the impossible.
The final live portion of the event involved 30 cameras linked to 5 broadcast trucks down the length of 33rd street, and the crowd went wild. We were on every news channel the next morning with Daniel Craig presenting the new car to a party filled with celebrities.
NASCAR
Can you orchestrate an on-foot chase between stunt men dressed as well-known Nascardrivers in three different environment?
Can the on-foot chase replicate the action seen at the previous Nascar race on the track the week before?
And can it be out on air within three days of filming each chase so it can be part of the conversation for the season?
And by the way you have to find stunt men who fit the drivers actual racing suits because we can’t afford to make doubles!
Yes we can.
This project saw us shutting down a number of streets in central Vancouver for a parkour style race, a forest in a national park for a woodland race and even part of Miami Bay for a jet ski chase. Watch the amazing making of to get an idea of how nuts this project really was.
TA LIVE
Can you make 13 live streamed commercials for the Territorial Army to be broadcast over one weekend of commercial breaks on UK tv?
Can you shoot them in Afghanistan in Camp Bastion with real members of the TA in the middle of a war zone?
Can you make sure your team has hostage training before they leave for the shoot?
Yes this is all true – and our director Nick Murphy had to be taken hostage in the night from his home in London during prep for training in case the worst happened. His wife was not happy!
