Pro­Mo­tion Media had the plea­sure of cre­at­ing an event video of this year’s Hack­ett Run­dle Cup. Our client, John Nor­wood, from St. James’s Place Wealth Man­age­ment Group was one of the main spon­sors of the pres­ti­gious event. John wanted a video that cap­tured the atmos­phere of the event that he could share with his many guests. We met at the venue the week before to walk through the many activ­i­ties of the day and to dis­cuss his key objec­tive for the video. The event organ­is­ers guar­an­tee the pri­vacy of their guests dur­ing the day, which did mean there were restric­tions on where we could film, but this still left us with plenty of great mate­r­ial. John also asked that we include pho­tos taken by his guests to make the final video more personable.

The Royal Marines Band were in atten­dance at the event which has allowed us to blend record­ings of their play­ing with lively big band roy­alty free music to cre­ate an uptempo soundtrack.

Orig­i­nally it was believed that nei­ther Prince William (who was away in Canada) or Prince Harry would be attend­ing, but at the last minute Prince Harry was avail­able to play for the Army’s polo team. The his­toric Army Vs Navy Run­dle Cup match was the finale to a great day that included Katie Price and Tom Ward play­ing in the open­ing char­ity polo and bike polo com­pe­ti­tions, and a char­ity wheel­chair race, all on behalf of the Inspire Spinal Injury Char­ity. Other high­lights included  a sky­div­ing dis­play,  the USA Army Vs a British Com­bined Forces polo match and the fab­u­lous Royal Marines March­ing Band.

The final client video is 11 min­utes and John will be deliv­er­ing them to his clients as a sou­venir of the day on DVD with a spe­cially designed case. Below is a 2 minute high­lights video from the day.
