CANDY JAR SHOOTS VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR FRIENDS AND HEROES

Cardif-based Candy Jar Films have recently completed a short documentary for animated TV series 'Friends and Heroes'.

We were asked to produce a promotional film that would highlight how schools can make use of the programme as part of Religious Education and the wider curriculum. Iumplementing a variety of video techniques including green screen and tracking shots, we also incorporated clips from the show to ensure a fast-paced and engaging piece that communicated our client's core messages.

Previously broadcast on the BBC, Friends and Heroes is an award-winning animated children's adventure with Bible stories in more than ten languages. Aimed at children aged 6-10 the story follows Macky and Portia and Pontius the Parrot, as they fight for justice against the Roman empire and share the stories of their heroes from the Bible to give them strength and wisdom. Friends and Heroes has been broadcast in countries across every continent and is available for sale on DVD.

"Friends and Heroes were delighted to work with Candy Jar on our schools video project. We found them to be exceedingly professional and easy to work with. Everything was delivered on time and on budget and the resulting video exceeded our expectations!"
- Brett Pitchfork, Marketing Director - Friends and Heroes.

ONE WOMAN'S WAR - COMING SOON ON DVD!

Candy Jar is pleased to announce the forthcoming DVD, based on the critically acclaimed memoir One Woman's War by Eileen Younghusband.

Eileen Younghusband (90) was just 18 when she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). She quickly demonstrated her keen intellect and mathematical skills, playing a crucial role in Fighter Command’s underground Filter Room.

Working grueling shifts under enormous pressure she and her companions worked tirelessly, tracking the swarms of enemy aircraft that sought to break the British resolve. She even had the dubious honour of detecting the first of Hitler’s devastating V2 rockets as it fell on an unsuspecting London.

In 2011, Candy Jar Books published Eileen's memoir to critical and commercial success.

Now, this DVD goes beyond the book and delves deeper into Eileen's wartime experiences as she gives a frank and revealing interview about her experiences leading up to and during the Second World War.

Running Time: Approx. 60mins
Format: PAL, Widescreen (16:9)
Classification: Exempt

The One Woman's War DVD will be available this spring. To pre-order your copy of the DVD, please go here. Any orders made prior to release with benefit from priority dispatch.
