To celebrate the launch of brand new cartoon Mighty Mike, we were tasked with recreating the hit TV show First Dates – but starring dogs. Yes, you read that correctly.
With a lot of research under our belt into First Dates camera angles, voiceover lines and background music we were ready. We spent a day shooting the film in a Victoria restaurant, with none other than Anton Du Beke as Maitre D (obviously) and our two hero dogs Gizmo and Lily.
The dogs acted impeccably, and we somehow managed to capture all the scenes we’d dreamt up before the shoot! In the edit we added in a voiceover, music and graphics influenced by First Dates, and voila – job done.
Brother Film is a creative production company, founded by brothers.
From making skate films on VHS as kids, Brother has developed into a production company based in Peckham, London. With a small core team and a tight network of world-class directors and crew, we pride ourselves on delivering creative work with good people.
We love seeing a concept through from idea generation to the final file upload, but are equally adept at jumping into a project at any stage.
Peckham is a big part of Brother’s DNA, and we started up a local event series, Peckham Filmmakers, to link up local creatives and hero their work.
Our sister company Brother Music is an award-winning music and sound studio, creating bespoke scores and soundscapes for both Brother’s work and a range of other directors, agencies and production companies.
We’re still enthusiastic skater kids at heart, and want that to bleed through into everything we do.
