“You can’t start a video production company with three people. You can’t start a business with no equipment and no money. You can’t start a video production business in Wales without working for the BBC for twenty years. And you most certainly can’t call it Like an Egg.”
Against such great advice in the summer of 2010 the three of us started Like an Egg Productions. We made videos for anyone that would let us. Charities, community groups, bands, schools and even a bowls club. We had only one goal. If we make something, it has to be great. We were only as good as our last video. It’s all we had. Alongside this we’d freelance for other people and worked in pubs on the weekend, anything to pay the bills.
After two tough years we found ourselves operating a full time video production business. We had big clients including the Wales Millennium Centre and Welsh Water. More importantly our small business clients kept coming back. We also found ourselves at the forefront of community charity film making, work that still gives us great satisfaction.
We started to gain a reputation for making great content but also making the impossible possible. This led us to producing music videos for Manic Street Preachers including Q award winning “Show me the Wonder” and a national TV ad campaign for Giff Gaff. In 2013 we were awarded the Lloyds TSB Award for Best Business Enterprise in Wales. This was in recognition of our success in growing our commercial enterprise through forming strong links with our community.
We’ve always worked with the best crew in the world and continue to do so. There are now four of us in the Like an Egg office with an extended team made from the best crew in Wales and we can’t wait to work with you.
