Council videos

Impactful public sector videos that speak to the heart of your community.

Video is a powerful tool used to communicate to different stakeholders and translate council priorities into clear, trustworthy, community-focused storytelling. At Millstream Productions, we specialise in creating compelling and engaging videos that don’t just look good but build trust and drive change. 

Whether you need a short explainer, campaign videos, documentary-style, or internal communication videos, our team of expert filmmakers, animators, editors and storytellers will help you connect with your residents, staff, and councillors on a deeper level, increasing engagement and building trust. 

Why video?

Because video humanises your organisation, and gets your message seen and heard.

Using video allows you to communicate in a way that is engaging, inclusive, transparent, emotionally-impactful, and more effective than traditional formats. Video strengthens relationships with stakeholders, improves understanding of council services, and enhances trust in local government as you show the real people behind the organisation. 

Using visual breakdowns, animations and graphics, and sounds is an effective way of explaining and simplifying complex subjects. Your message can be amplified across multiple channels and platforms and with measurable insights you can evaluate the effectiveness of your communications. 

Story-driven video helps your audience to connect with your mission, values, and care philosophy on a deeply personal level.

How we help

When you work with us, you’re not just buying a camera crew; you’re investing in content that reflects your organisation’s reputation, authority and care for your community. 

With over a decade of experience working with public sector organisations, we know the tone and sensitives around public messaging, and accessibility and inclusion requirements. We offer creative direction, as well as technical execution, and we stand out as a video partner that knows how to make people feel at ease in front of the camera.  

From explainer videos that break down complex topics such as regeneration projects and environmental initiatives, to service information and public consultation videos, we ensure the communication goal underpins each video.

We create campaign video assets that engage the community and drive change. From environmental campaigns to health and wellbeing and safety, we capture compelling, authentic content that stands out and gets your message heard and seen.

Celebrate local people, volunteers, and success stories with event highlights from diversity and inclusion, and cultural events, to open days, awards, and historical days. Video is a great way to highlight positive individuals whilst enhancing community reputation.  

Engage your internal stakeholders with video content that builds trust and makes them take notice. From short updates on major initiatives to learning and development and recruitment, people will watch a video over reading blocks of text.

From fun, informative content to service reminders and campaign assets, we produce short form videos that will hook your audience and see you as a council that wants to reach them where they are - on platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. 

Inform, educate and inspire with your own thought leadership podcast. We capture audio and video, giving you more marketing assets, either in our Hampshire podcast recording studio, remotely, or on-site.

Our work with councils

Your community, our care

Our experience as a trusted strategic, collaborative and creative partner spans across councils at city and county level where we work with multiple stakeholders including residents, council staff, and councillors. But don’t just take our word for it, hear from one of our council partners. 

Working with Millstream Productions has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. They took my brief, interpreted it with real insight, and brought it to life in a way that felt both true to my vision and incredibly engaging. Their professionalism, attention to detail, steer and ability to capture the essence of what we were trying to communicate made the whole process seamless and enjoyable.
