4Wood spreading the word!
Updating you with news from our set construction workshop
Welcome
We dived into September with a media campaign. While times are quieter we've spent some time spreading the word about set construction. Plus, the team have been on the road connecting with our friends in the industry around the UK.
4Wood on Sky News
It was exciting see our very own Graham Webb on Sky News. He shared his insights on the impact of the US strikes on the screen sectors in the UK. Two weeks on and the writer's have agreed a deal and it looks like constructive negotiations are underway with SAG-AFTRA.
BBC News Wales visited the workshop too
It was fantastic to hear about the expansion of Great Point Studios. And the cherry on the top that our Creative Director, James Thorne was invited by BBC News Wales to share his views on what this means for the thriving Welsh film and TV production industry.
Can we help?
With the actor's strike nearing a conclusion, productions are preparing to get back-to-work. We're here to help! Call, email or drop-by if you have a brief or would just like an informal chat.
Celebrating BAFTA nominated work
We're looking forward to the BAFTA Cymru awards this weekend. It's extra special knowing that both His Dark Materials and Dream Horse have been nominated for Production Design BAFTAs. We're proud to have constructed the sets for both of these productions. Congratulations to nominees Joel Collins and Daniel Taylor.
We're working on being more sustainable
Last month we joined environmental organisation Ecologi as part of our drive to operate more sustainably. Through our membership we have begun to fund tree planting, timber being the material we use the most. The programme has begun with 1,000 trees planted predominately in Kenya, Mozambique and Madagascar.
Sneak look at our work on the Dr Who 60th anniversary
All the geeks amongst us were excited to see that the BBC dropped the Dr Who 60th anniversary trailer. And we were over the moon to get an early glimpse of some of our work on this project. Not least the space station built in our workshop in Cardiff.
