Client Case Study
CLIENT
CarbonTrust
SCI works in partnership to develop country-owned solutions that eliminate parasitic infections, for good. Since 2002, they have had the privilege of collaborating with a growing number of ministries of health (MoH) around the world to prevent and treat infections caused by schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths .
Brief
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) are inextricably connected to good health. Communities with insufficient access to clean water and sanitation are often vulnerable to a host of preventable diseases, including neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), which impose a significant economic burden on communities and represent a challenge for many already strained health systems.
Low access to quality reliable water supply and sanitation services sustains the transmission of schistosomiasis (SCH), including in areas where mass drug administration (MDA) has been implemented regularly. In Uganda, SCH is found in 91 of 147 districts, and high levels of transmission persist in some areas despite over 20 years of mass treatment.
SERVICES
Production
After a series of pre-production meetings to determine the creative vision, we moved into discussions with Good Nature Agro to find the perfect timing when the team at GNA would be installing solar system as well as when farmers would be preparing, planting, irrigating and harvesting . After numerous meetings, we set dates and we contacted a fixer in Zambia to support with clearing our camera gear at the customs and get filming permits for the Photographer and Producer. The challenge we experienced was majorly on accordomation in Chipata a place we were to station during the week's shoot. During that week The Ngoni people had the N'cwala ceremony which takes place every year on the last Saturday of February at Mtenguleni Village in Chipata so all roads were leading to Southern Zambia. This made accomodation scarce and very expensive for the crew.
To tell the best story we shot different activities during during times of the day for expample we shot solar installations during the morning and eveneing to have a golden hour looking footage. And we shot farmersirrigatinig during the midday sun for the solar system to work well.
One of our favorite scenes were captured during the maize harvesting. Each member of the family was busy doing what they do best as the photographer and videographers were picking out different shots.
The Result
Despite the formidable hurdles of languages, locations, and logistical intricacies, our collaboration with The Carbon Trust resulted in an awe-inspiring collection of stories that transcended borders. By tackling the project with an immersive, hands-on methodology, we aligned with the client’s vision and managed to uphold consistency from production to post-production.
A single point of contact empowered efficient communication throughout the project, while our expansive African network enabled us to deftly navigate cultural nuances and diverse landscapes. The final edits, enriched with translations and subtitles, facilitated widespread engagement, making the stories accessible to a global audience.
The project’s commercial success was made possible through our centralised production and post-production resource. This pivotal resource simplified the complexities of global coordination and creative orchestration, allowing The Carbon Trust's expansive vision to be realised with finesse.
