Our producer and cinematographer worked with the Rare Books and Special Collections team at UBC Library to plan a video that would introduce the significance the First Folio and show safe handling techniques and tools.
This was an opportunity for our team to capture and share the intricate and rare beauty of a cultural treasure, while supporting its preservation at the same time. Starting with creative and script development, through managing location filming at UBC Library’s historic Pena Room, we created an opportunity for the wider University community and the general public to experience this fascinating and beautiful artifact.
