One month today, our MD Ben will embark on his biggest challenge to date - Mission 256.

Ben will be cycling 256 miles around the perimeter of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. That's around 20 hours of cycling, throughout the night, while we're all tucked up in our beds. All in aid of raising money for the incredible Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

The target is £10,500 which will fund three life-saving missions.

We asked Ben his reason why...

"I spent two days inside the aircraft recently, following the crew from the start of their shift to the end. What unfolded over that 10 hours will never leave me. I saw firsthand the dedication and urgency with which the crew operates for ordinary people like you and me. They brought critical care to the patients and really did bring an ICU to the roadside. They are superheroes flying in the sky above us."

Thank you to everyone who has already shown their support either by sharing the message or donating to this amazing cause. You have already donated £3,775 which is incredible!

Collectively you have already funded one life-saving mission!

Every donation counts and for those businesses who donate £1,000, Millstream is offering a complimentary short promotional video in return. For those businesses who donate £500, we're offering a complimentary photoshoot. This way, your support not only helps save lives but also elevates your business visibility. Every penny will go to the charity.

Massive thank you to The Briny, LV Rehabilitation, and Create 51 who have kindly donated these huge amounts.

If you'd like to show your support to Ben, you can find the donation link in the comments below.

Thank you 💙💛💚

It’s no secret how passionate we are about giving young people experience in the creative industry and our student-centred learning projects allow us to offer these opportunities.

Our Community Producer, Dan, was asked by Jess at Solent Careers Hub to speak at the Supporting the Future Workplace Forum in Portsmouth to talk more about these projects and how local employers can get involved.

It was an honour to be invited as an industry voice in a room that bought together employers including Airbus, Portsmouth International Port, and BAE Systems, schools from the Portsmouth area, and the Careers Hub to demystify careers education, with a particular focus on Employer Standards and Modern Work Experience.

Please join us in welcoming our newest team member, Gábor 👋

Gábor has joined Millstream as a filmmaker and video editor. With a background spanning broadcast, commercial photography, and videography, Gábor's foundation is built on visual storytelling, with proven fluency in both still and moving image.

We asked Gábor what he's most looking forward to at Millstream...

"I joined Millstream Productions to pursue my passion for mixed-approach storytelling on a larger scale and to collaborate with a synergetic team of highly talented artists. More than anything, I’m excited to work closely with our incredible clients, learning their unique visions, telling their stories with authenticity, and co-creating content that truly resonates. Simply put, I’m thrilled to be making impactful content for amazing people!"

Once a project has the green light, we start pre-production. This is the planning stage where the initial concepts and ideas take shape. It involves everything from scriptwriting and storyboarding to locations, permits etc.

Pre-production is a crucial part of video production as it can help minimise last-minute complications and allows for greater creative freedom and focus during the actual filming and editing.

Last year we worked with The Novium Museum on a film that explored the history of Shippam's, a nationally recognised food manufacturer, based in Chichester, West Sussex. The short documentary captured personal memories and reflections, and featured interviews from the Shippam family, former employees, and local residents.

Take a look behind the scenes of the pre-production involved in our latest Triple Take video:

Our Triple Take series is a chance to see how we put different projects together behind the scenes.

Some of the team attended the trade show last week to discover the latest in production equipment and to listen in on new trends in post-production, podcasting and AI. We’ve left with a raft-full of knowledge that will improve our processes, our creative offering, and ensure that we are still ahead of the game when it comes to video production.

Brilliant and insightful talks by Keith Eccles, Cinematographer , and Zak Hancock, Founder and Creative Director .studios 🎤👏

Interesting takeaways in the AI sector are steering toward legislation rather than creative chat. It’s an extraordinary resource that must be kept in control, so to attend the discussions around crediting appropriately, for example, was valuable.

We’re truly excited by our learnings and new ideas, and cannot wait to start implementing them within the business which will benefits our clients.

Hear it straight from our clients 🌟

Connors Toy Library is a Portsmouth-based charity that provides stay and play sessions and toy loan to over 2,000 families or carers with pre-school aged children annually. Sessions include play, craft activity, snack and singing to finish.

We worked with Abby and the team to create a video that tells their story, with the aim of encouraging donations where they’re needed most.

Absolutely fantastic to hear this feedback 💙❤️ Thank you.

Channel 4 continues to fulfil their commitment to make television accessible for all, and this one will undoubtedly challenge industry behaviour.

Their latest decision, which came into effect at the start of March 2026, is that they require all ads and sponsorship idents to carry closed captions.

But what are closed captions and why are they so important?

Find out more in our blog - https://www.millstreamproductions.com/journal/why-closed-captions-are-good-accessibility

This is a new rule, and we’re all for it.You’ve probably watched a video online where closed captions are shown on screen. Closed captions are often associated with subtitles, but there is a difference.
