“ Fat Panda looked after us so well on the day and made us feel comfortable when at the start we really weren't comfortable in front of the cameras.”
“In the video, I think we just seem relaxed and nothing feels forced - that is because of what they did to make us feel relaxed. I love it and a huge thank you!"”

CASE STUDY
The Performance Science Podcast
The Performance Science podcast is a four-part series produced for the Centre for Performance Science (CPS) at the Royal College of Music, in collaboration with Imperial College London. Developed as part of a wider initiative to communicate the findings from the HEartS project - a major research study into the health, economic, and social impact of the arts in the UK.
We wanted to produce a podcast series that felt polished whilst still feeling authentic. To achieve this, we combined great sound, video, and lighting with careful editing and consistent branding, and we made sure the contributors and guests felt comfortable and at ease in the recording environment so the conversations could flow naturally.
This is a perfect example of how we tell meaningful stories in a professional yet human way.
