Over the past 125 years, Doosan Babcock has successfully navigated an ever-changing world: from their invention of the first ever boiler; to steel, then crane manufacture; to a central role in the energy industry; to the 21st century and the application of their skills to the new challenges of a low carbon future.

Our task: to produce two films to tell that extraordinary story but also to articulate their pride in that ongoing adaptability and resilience.

The first of these films fulfilled the role of a trailer, teasing an internal audience at the larger piece to come. A voiceover-led piece, combining a graphical timeline and footage from the client’s archive, this 2-minute film was first shown as an opening film at a major company meeting.

The second film, an 8-minute documentary, expanded the previous timeline, adding interviews with staff from all levels within the organisation and providing historical context through the use of newsreel footage from across the 125 year history.
