PICKLE JAR FILMS

There are institutions and there are institutions; then there is British Vogue, so when Genesis Publications came to us with the brief to create a promotional film for their latest work Vogue: The Voice of a Century, we were flattered and delighted to be involved in something so momentous.

Featuring contributions from Editor-in-Chief, Alexandra Shulman, stylist Bay Garnett, Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki and the iconic model, Penelope Tree, our task was not only to ensure rich content from the contributors, but also to ensure the rich contents of the book itself were on display.

Produced and Directed by Liz Robinson & Kevin Hylands.

To publicise the release of How Can it Be?, Ronnie Wood’s recently discovered 1965 diary, Genesis Publications asked us to produce a short film to get a feel for the diary, as well as to visually tie the content together with the art work through the words of Ronnie himself. Once again our film took pride of place on Genesis’ site as well as working as a marketing tool, featuring on Mojo.com and NME.com.

As a unique element to the marketing campaign for the Ronnie Wood diary, Genesis commissioned us to produce a bespoke music video for the accompanying song, ‘How Can It Be?’ - a reversion of the the original track written by Ronnie in 1965. Filming Mr. Wood laying down the track at British Grove studios in Chiswick, the finished promo was premiered at a special event at the Ambassadors Theatre, London, hosted by Bob Harris, as well as being premiered exclusively on rollingstone.com.

To celebrate the release of the book, ‘Into Tomorrow’, Genesis Publications asked us to produce a short film to showcase the longstanding collaboration between Paul Weller and photographer, Lawrence Watson. We were only too happy to do so, delivering a film that sat easily on Genesis’ homepage as well as being used as a promotional tool across other media to fuel publicity and drive sales. Treating imagery from the book in a style similar to Lawrence’s photography and using the words and music of Mr.Weller, we produced both a 4 minute promo and 90 second teaser, before going on to produce unique documentary film content for the e-book.

To mark the publication of JIMMY PAGE by Jimmy Page, Pickle Jar Films produced a short film for Genesis Publications - showcasing some of the best images, as well as hearing from the man himself about how the book came to be and what it means to him to have a record of his life in pictures.
