More Than Just a Move

Real homes. Real lives. Beautifully told.

A different kind of property film.

Property advertising has a familiar formula. Perfect houses. Perfect families. Perfect lives. But that's not real life.

Working with Oliver Agency, we set out to create something different for Crest Nicholson. A cinematic brand film that celebrates the people, personalities and wonderfully imperfect moments that make a house a home.

Led by Creative Director Pete Hardy and Agency Producer Tom Nejad, with the Nott Brothers directing, the ambition was simple. Make something beautiful, relatable and full of life.

Life, as it happens.

The creative brought together a series of everyday moments, each with its own personality, warmth and subtle humour.

No overly polished version of reality. Just recognisable characters, genuine connections and those little details that make life interesting.

The Nott Brothers brought their distinctive visual style and instinct for human storytelling, combining considered cinematography with natural performances and a touch of unexpected charm. A fresh perspective on what a property brand film could be.

Big ambition. One day.

Eleven cast. Almost 20 crew. One location. One day to make it happen.

At Crest Nicholson's Windsor Gate development, we brought together an experienced production team to turn an ambitious creative vision into reality.

Shooting on the RED V-RAPTOR 8K with anamorphic lenses, alongside high-speed filming at up to 240 frames per second, we gave everyday moments a beautifully cinematic quality.

Confetti flying. Champagne popping. Families laughing. Little moments made extraordinary.

Every frame considered. Every detail intentional.

From casting and costume to lighting, art direction and production design, we planned meticulously to make the finished film feel completely effortless.

A tight schedule. A brilliant team. And the kind of collaboration that makes ambitious productions possible. Even Murphy the dog played his part.

One vision. Everyone behind it.

The best work happens when everyone is pulling in the same direction. From Crest Nicholson and Oliver Agency to the Nott Brothers and our production crew, there was a shared understanding of what this film needed to be.

That clarity gave us the freedom to focus on the details, find those unexpected moments and make every scene count. No fuss. No friction. Just brilliant people making brilliant work together.

Behind the Scenes

The people. The process. The little details that make it happen. A look behind the camera at an ambitious day of filming. A brilliant cast, a trusted crew, some beautiful cinematography and plenty of personality.

More than a film about homes.

The finished film brings Crest Nicholson's brand to life through the moments that matter most. Not just the buildings, but the lives happening inside them.

A warm, confident piece of brand storytelling that challenges the conventions of property advertising and gives Crest Nicholson a more human way to connect with its audience.

Get in. Get on. Get more out of life.
