LIFE IS PRECIOUS

CANCER RESEARCH UK

Each step. Every pound. Defies cancer. 

We edited this powerful montage for Cancer Research UK to screen at fundraising evenings such as gala dinners, auctions and high value celebrity partnership events. 

We archived all existing Cancer Research UK films, and sorted through thousands of shots piece by piece to cut a intense film that tells the full story – patients, fundraisers, scientists and life itself. 

Led by the brilliant, emotive lyrics and music by Raleigh Ritchie, we wrote a script that could work as animated titles and fit into the rhythm of the piece. 

A cinematic colour grade gave the piece polish and helped all the footage from different sources hold together. 

The film is dedicated to Shannon, who died of cancer aged 19.
