A Winter Escape
Client: Four Seasons Hampshire

A few years on from our previous winter and festive campaign for Four Seasons Hampshire, see here we returned with a brief to create a new set of films capturing the quieter beauty of a winter stay.
Through the use of drone photography, considered sound design and strong, cinematic geometry, the films present Four Seasons Hampshire as a calm winter escape, atmospheric, spacious and unhurried.
With longevity in mind, the approach was designed to capture multiple versions of key scenes so the content could live both within the festive period and across the wider winter season. Two edits were delivered, with some scenes appearing in both films, others subtly adjusted through props, and a number remaining unique to each cut. This ensured maximum value from the shoot while retaining a considered, premium feel.
Partnering closely with the Four Seasons Hampshire marketing team over a two-day shoot, we captured a wide range of five-star locations and guest experiences across the estate. From canal boat and horse rides to refined culinary moments and evening swims, the focus was on variety without feeling busy.
Working as a small two-person crew allowed us to move discreetly, minimising disruption to daily hotel operations while maintaining a refined, cinematic visual throughout. Careful collaboration with the hotel team, from scheduling access to locations and staff to adapting to changing winter conditions, was key.
By clearly defining priority shots in advance, we were able to work efficiently on the day while still leaving space for instinctive, on-location moments to shape the final films.
