Northrun Films
A cinematic portfolio website for a film production company that commands attention
Background
The Challenge
Northrun Films needed a portfolio that could compete with the world-class production companies they were pitching against. Their previous site was a generic WordPress theme that undersold their reel.
Project Goals
- Build a cinematic, high-impact film portfolio
- Showcase showreel video without performance penalty
- Present project case studies with immersive design
- Generate director enquiries and production briefs
- Communicate brand authority through design and motion
What We Integrated
How We Solved It
Our Approach
Created a dark, cinematic portfolio with full-screen video, scroll-driven animations, and project case studies that position Northrun Films as a premium production partner.
Designed a dark-mode cinematic aesthetic with high-contrast typography and full-screen film stills
Implemented lazy-loaded video backgrounds with WebM/MP4 fallback for cross-browser performance
Built scroll-driven Framer Motion animations that mirror the pacing of a film edit
Created detailed project pages with behind-the-scenes content, credits, and production context
