Alongside the documentation of the launch events, Farrows Creative were also asked to take stock images of the museum’s architecture and exhibits and to keep M Shed’s website and blog updated with news and photos during the launch. Farrows Creative provided a huge range of photographs which are now being used throughout the museum, in the publicity material of numerous Bristol arts organisations and across M Shed’s website. We also provided a lot of recorded film of the weekend which was used hours later on BBC and ITV news television and Farrows Creative also produced three short films that documented the opening weekend events for people to watch for years to come.
