Wiltshire Video filmed and produced this promotional video for the 2008 Chippenham Folk Festival.

This national festival has come to Chippenham in Wiltshire every year for the last 37 years! It has always been a safe and fun family weekend with the top artists in folk music from all over the UK performing and mingling with the crowds. It has an informal quality, which attracts all kinds of visitors from Chippenham and the surrounding area.

The film was designed to give a flavour of the event and to convey it's genuinely happy atmosphere whatever the weather! Folk artists and followers are renowned for their ability to dance and sing and play whatever the circumstances and we wanted the film to convey that sense of joy!

It was filmed during the 2007 festival and edited at our studios in Chippenham. We used illustrative text to allude to the traditional elements of the festival and incorporated the video footage into a selection of relevant music. Animated graphics link the sequences together to suggest a natural and friendly ambience.

We worked closely with the festival organiser Bob Berry who made sure we had access to all areas of the site for filming and to all the resources in terms of music, photographs, festival statistics and information.
