Kaleidoscope, the North East’s leading creative film & video agency recently made a emotional film about a group of midwives who met at work and through their shared love of the ocean decided to take up sea swimming together.
Lock down paid its toll on many- not least the midwives who worked through it but weren’t able to get together and do activities to help them de-stress. After covid the group of women and men decided to try out sea swimming. They found that the shared experience made them more confident and calm. Come wind, rain or shine, they ventured to the Northumberland coast and unwound in the waves.
One of the midwife team commented; ‘Initially you think… what am I doing- but then the adrenaline kicks in and you get addicted to the rush. Its been great for my mental health!’
The film crew at Kaleidoscope are not only highly experienced, they also have a lot of specialist kit- in this case a drone and underwater camera which allow them to follow the group into the water and take over head shots.
Craig, Founder of Kaleidoscope said: ‘It was a real honour to film these guys – not only are they doing an incredible job bringing new life into this world but they have also found a way to exercise together whilst improving their mental and physical health. The North Sea is freezing!!… but it was worth getting cold and wet to capture these guys and make a beautiful piece that highlights the bond they’ve formed’
Kaleidoscope are proudly based in Newcastle upon Tyne, they’re one of the only companies in the North East providing such a wide range of video production services and professional services in videography, documentary films, animation and photography.
