Educational Video Production
Explainer content, course material and institutional films for universities, schools and training providers.
Made to teach
Educational content has to teach something, so we work closely with the people who know the subject: teachers, academics, clinicians and trainers. They bring the detail, and we make it clear and watchable.
We’ve made films for Newcastle School for Boys, UNICEF’s Child Friendly City work in Newcastle, and a string of challenges for Little Inventors, including one with CBBC’s Maddie Moate at Alexandra Palace.

Kids make the best interviewees
Children say exactly what they think, which makes for brilliant films. For Newcastle School for Boys, pupils led a film that stood in for open days when families couldn’t visit. For Concordia, children and teachers told the story of singing in schools themselves.

“Our experience of working with Turps Film was excellent throughout planning, filming and editing. We were surprised at how quickly a very professional video could be produced.”
