Produce a visually stunning short film that highlights the plight of precious pangolins, while positioning Journeysmiths – a luxury tailormade travel specialist – as a global leader in conservation and wildlife holidays.The subject needed to be treated sensitively and authoritatively, with a short documentary style.
Pangolins are one of the most endangered animals on Earth and are stringently protected. Working closely with their contacts in Mozambique, Journeysmiths helped us secure access to Gorongosa National Park. Filming in a hot and humid environment is never straightforward, but alongside our specialist local crew, we created a film that could be used across social media channels and marketing campaigns.
