Gas Street Works

Gas Street Works originally produced a ‘Planning Your Pregnancy’ DVD for Dudley Primary Care Trust. The film was divided into three chapters – The Pregnancy, The Birth and Postnatal Aftercare. The project was dubbed into a number of foreign languages including BSL, Gujrati and Urdu, and was highly successful in disseminating information on maternity services to the local community.

Earlier this year, Telford and Wrekin Primary Care Trust approached Gas Street Works to produce a maternity DVD for its own community. Funding was not available to produce a completely bespoke product, so after reaching a licensing agreement with Dudley PCT, we made a film which largely comprised repurposed footage from the previous project.

We used one extra filming day to capture footage and recorded a new voiceover – both of which helped to customise the film and give it a local feel. We translated the new voiceover film into several languages and BSL (shown above), making the resource accessible to a large multicultural local audience.

The approach used for this project meant that the Trust could produce a valuable resource at a fraction of the cost that would be required otherwise.
