We’ve created many different types of film and animation, for a host of clients across multiple market sectors and all channels of communication.
We do everything in-house. From creative concept development, storyboarding and scripting; to location and studio filming, through to animation and 2D graphics, post-production editing and sound dubbing, motion graphics and stills photography.
This is why we feel we have excelled at gaining a loyal and trusting client base – the likes of ATS Euromaster, Network Rail, Midland Heart, HM Government, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, numerous City Councils across the West Midlands, and a host of SME’s throughout the UK and our work has been broadcast on the BBC, Channel 4, and MTV, and internationally.
Our philosophy
Our mission is simple: We want to create films that entertain, educate and inspire, capturing the most visual and dynamic aspects of your company, with a clear and planned path to reaching your target market.
We believe that before picking up a camera, it’s crucial to understand what results you’re aiming for, who you’re talking to, what it is you have to say and what is your distribution plan for the film.
Our films work because of the care and precision taken over every aspect of production. From ensuring that you have the right distribution strategy in place for the completed film, to the message your film conveys, as well as it look and feel.

Anthony is the marketing and communications strategy guru at Lilac Howell Films.
During twenty years in the advertising and marketing industry, Anthony has worked for and with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Jaguar Cars, British Airways, British Gas, Land Rover and Scottish Widows, as well as with public sector organisations, voluntary agencies, the NHS, charities and a host of SME’s.
