How to make a barrister’s conference fun & appealing with a short video
Two delegates deep in conversation at the conference!
Maximise your legal event publicity with a fun, interesting video
Introduction
At Wildings Studio, a brand video studio in South Devon, we produce brand videos for London barrister’s chambers, helping them stand out from the crowd in the legal space.
This was a showcase video for the 'Homelessness, Housing & Allocations' conference, hosted by 4-5 Gray's Inn Square in Holborn, London on Wednesday 9 October 2019.
Vicky Thompson (formerly CEO) at 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square, a leading barrister’s chambers in London, commissioned us to produce something fun and interesting to create a buzz around the event.
It was designed to help drive publicity for the chambers and feed into their marketing efforts centred on winning briefs from solicitors for their ideal legal cases.

Production notes
From Rachael
Although perhaps not the most exciting subject matter, this was an important conference highlighting vital issues
I wanted to reinforce the subject matter in a sensitive way, but also bring some interest to proceedings as well
I used stop motion video to add character and a bit of fun, taking inspiration from the venue and props on hand
Additionally, back in the studio, I used the Mini Cooper prop, flowers and other in-studio items to highlight key subjects from the conference (such as Brexit and mental health)
Overall, this gave the conference a light touch with fun and contemporary elements, as well as keeping the focus on the serious issues at hand and the legal context
I paired it with a suitable premium soundtrack from Soundstripe which added to the interest overall
What they said
We worked with Vicky Thompson, the former CEO at 4-5 (now at Gilbert Stephens Solicitors in Devon) who was full of praise:
“Within minutes of the video going out internally, I had messages from lots of the them to say: ‘Fab, Awesome, Great idea, What/where/when/how, Etc.’ They loved it!”
