Fettes College

Fettes is one of the UK's top Independent boarding and day schools. Based in Edinburgh since 1870 it has a list of former pupils that reads like a who’s who, including everyone from The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair to David Ogilvy (founder of the advertising empire Ogilvy and Mather). It's even the school that Ian Fleming chose for his most famous character Bond, James Bond. As you'll have gathered it's a spectacularly impressive seat of learning. Our task was to produce a film that would take the form of a DVD to accompany the school prospectus. And the task we set ourselves was to capture the truth that, despite it's history, heritage, fearsome track record of academic excellence and rather scary looking Gothic main building with gargoyles staring down from every parapet, the school is actually one big family. And at Fettes the life lessons they learn together make the whole experience a very happy one.
