Oriel College

The Senior Library in Oriel’s Second Quad at Oriel College in Oxford was (and still is) undergoing a big refurbishment project, in anticipation of their 700th anniversary in 2026. Oriel College were looking to document the various stages of this process, identifying milestones throughout this time to celebrate the once in a lifetime opportunity.

What we did

The Ask

Whilst undergoing the very delicate task of renovating the library, Oriel College wanted to capture the process and talk a little more about the books themselves. 

The Approach

We carried out a number of filming days over a 5 month period. On the first day, we installed two time lapse cameras to capture the renovation work over a number of weeks. Alongside this, we filmed interviews of the College staff and Librarians to get their thoughts on the renovation. We also captured B-roll footage of the books being wrapped, packed and shipped. Throughout the 5 months we delivered a number of social edits so Oriel college’s audience could receive regular updates on what was happening, while learning about the process the library was going through.
