Shell ‘Ideas 360’
One of the worlds leading energy suppliers, Shell, asked us to produce a film to promote Ideas360 - a global student and graduate competition that they sponsor to find the innovators of the future. The film embraces a ‘Video Diary’ format from the view point of two students, documenting their journey throughout the competition.
Over 2 days we filmed at various locations around London, and the (not so sunny) Sussex coast doubling for the Caribbean! Using only a Go-Pro and Handi-cam with minimal crew helped give the film the raw, energetic style Shell were looking for.

Wilder Wins GOLD at Cannes
We are delighted to have won Gold at 2013 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards for the interactive film “First2AMillion", produced for The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
The film follows a group of teens in their battle to be the first to a million views for their increasingly outrageous films and explores the issues they face when losing control of content online. The interactive film allows viewers to choose what the characters do next, demonstrating to teenagers how easy it is to make the wrong choices online.
The education team from CEOP & the THINKUKNOW campaign took the film on tour, visiting schools across the UK and discussing the issues it raised and the response from students and teachers was overwhelmingly positive;
Alice Hine, a teacher from London, said that “it was a fantastic film and the students were really engaged in the interactive nature, keen to get their opinions across and interested to find out what was going to happen".
The film was judged a great success by CEOP and has gone on to be endorsed by children's charities and police forces across the country. Check out the campaign website: www.thinkuknow.co.uk

2 GOLDS at New York Film Festivals
Wilder picked up two Golds and a Silver at the recent New York Film Festival for “Waiting for Conkers” & ‘ Sexy Tuesdays’. We will need to make the most of these wins as for the first time this year we decided not to enter the IVCA’s and instead put the cash saved towards a new short film.
Wilder have been ranked 10th in Televisual’s 2013 Top 50 survey of Uk Corporate Production Companies. Even better we are ranked 3rd overall in the prestigious Peer Poll.
Creative director Paul Gowers has moved on to set up his own production company called Buddy and all at Wilder wish him luck in his new venture.

London 2012 here at last!
Back in 2004, showjumping at Greenwich Park and beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade seemed like far flung fantasies. 8 years on it’s been fantastic to watch the promises made in London’s bid brought to life and with such great effect. Like everyone we're absolutely loving the Olympics and are proud to have played a small part in bringing them to London.

Building Soweto in W10
We're just completing production on a new brand film for Acountancy giants KPMG. A critical part of the film required filming in the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto. When that proved impossible we did the next best thing and built a section of the hospital in Labroke Grove. It worked a treat and if only some loudmouth writing the news didn't give it away, no one would know the difference.
