The Science of Planning
If you want us to, we can help to shape your idea by giving you our thoughts on how we would see the project coming to fruition. We will work with you by giving your project some creative input to help shape the finished film. Because we have an invested interest in your project we want it to look good, as a result you can be sure of our complete focus and attention.- Plan it
- Research it
- Write it
The Science of Photography in Motion
We’re a pretty patient team, and some past projects have been quite testing. When filming in the field we like to lock in. We want to have the style and vision in our heads and get a feel for it, this way it helps us grab the shot. We are so much more than just staying behind the camera looking at you, because our aim is to help and make suggestions for your shoot.- see it
- frame it
- shoot it
The Science of Creation
‘All good films are made in the editing room’…For us, this is where the film comes alive; this is where it takes shape; and most noteworthy, this is where video production companies can either make or break your film. We do not rush post production because the film has to look right, so if we aren’t feeling it then we will re-do it. That being said, we work to meet our deadlines.
- Feel it
- Sculpt it
- Sit back & watch it
The Science of Inspiration
Let’s do it all over again. Each video production project needs a fresh approach, and that’s the challenge. So, we need to stay fresh, inspired, creative, innovative, and enjoy what we do. What helps us do this? Because we love the finished article, so when we watch it back we just get inspired. Have a look at our portfolio.- Do it….because we love it.

TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it, here's what they're saying about us...
It is genuine pleasure to work with Martin and Michelle. Not only do they ‘get it’, but their talent brings ideas to life in a way that exceeds even the wildest expectation. Particularly impressive is how they worked with my team, and how we became a team, to make concept reality.
What is however unique, is how they do this for the crazy, creative, fundraising pieces, as well as the serious stuff. I definitely trust Trapdoor films and recommend them highly.
Dylan Caroll , Barnardo's Childrens Charity
I am pretty speechless and actually quite emotional!! This is amazing – it works so well and is such a strong message, love it….you have done us proud.
Jackie Brown, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance
WOW OMG I LOVE IT!! You’ve done such an amazing job, it’s better than I could ever have imagined! Thank you again for all the hard work and effort you put into it, the attention to detail really shows and it looks very professional.
Katy Barrow, Sosa Dance Fitness
Both Roger and I are very impressed indeed……… It explains the whole process so naturally……I think your choice of words from what must have been many, is excellent.
Sally Anderson, Parndon Mill
Well, what can I say but WOW! I take my hat off to you Sir. Production standard is 5* Content on the button.
Roger Lee, Parndon Mill

Alan Freeman, Parndon Mill Forge
Love it! Something I had put off for a while, but so glad I have done it now. A fabulous showcase for my business!
Sue Kennedy, Sue Kennedy Photography
We’ve been delighted with Martin’s work. From the point of enquiring with him through to receiving the finished product he has been so helpful, and has really gone the extra mile. We’re very pleased with the two videos that Trapdoor have produced for us, we hope to use them again and we have recommended them to others in our organisation.
Charlotte Cooper, Barnardo's Big Toddle
We have worked with Martin on two projects now and on both occasions the service we’ve received has been faultless. He was not fazed by any of the challenges we presented him with, and everyone involved commented on how easy he was to work with. The quality of the work produced is simply superb, and I am already planning our next collaboration!
Sarah Cobbledick, Barnardo's Childrens Charity
Just to say a huge thank you to Martin and his team for my AMAZING new promotional video…truly professional, enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. You have transformed the face of my business, you really captured the fun and spirit of what we are about….FABULOUS!!
Katy Barrow, Sosa Dance Fitness
It’s great! I do think you made my work and my studio look very nice.
