Create That Feel-Good Feeling with Video

September 21, 2022

Creating feel-good videos that make people smile or laugh, feel excited, interested or enthused is all about striking the right balance and really considering your content. 


For a positive emotive response, your tone of voice, visual style, pacing and music choice all come into play.

Use Humour (Duh!)

One surefire way to make your audience understand that what they’re watching is supposed to make them feel good is to make them laugh, whatever approach that may be.

Could you go for visual humour with props, costumes to create a spoof video? Maybe a satire style that uses a popular culture theme that people will recognise? Or perhaps a mockumentary approach, filming people in your business?


We’ve produced so many spoof videos for company conferences, events or awards over the years. They’re a really fun way to involve people during filming in something different to their 9-5 and can make an event really memorable with stand out content. 


An Upbeat Tone of Voice

To strike the right tone and add impact, go for fun and upbeat. Whatever your message, positive words and an enthusiastic TOV is a very good idea to get the right response from your viewers. Be smart, witty, and interesting to get the reactions you want.

Take a break and review your script to think about what your reaction would be after watching or listening to it. Do you feel excited and enthused, or does it all fall a bit flat?


Keep it Quick

How long your video means how long people need to pay attention. Think about your reaction. Would you continue watching? 


If you’re aiming for a fast paced video but your script is too long and wordy, viewers will drop off and move on. Keep it snappy, cut back on your messages.


Use Appropriate Music

If your viewers will be watching with their sound on, make sure your music is just as fun as the rest of the video. Upbeat music, usually pop or dance tracks with a fast beat, helps the audience know straight off the bat that what they’re watching should make them feel good.


As a side note, clients often ask to use recognisable chart tracks in their internal video content, and this is usually ok to do, as long as it’s not shared externally, online or on TV. 


Bright & Vibrant Colours

Using bright and vibrant colours is another way to make it more uplifting and stand out. A great example of this can be seen in the ‘PEP U’ video we created for PepsiCo, where we designed and built three bespoke sets with vivid colours with a fun, 1980’s theme.


Include Happy People

If your video is going to include people, real or animated, make sure they reflect the positive tone of voice from the rest of your video. If viewers see people in the video reacting positively, this will have an impact on their own emotional response too. 


Get Your Video Going

No surprises that we’re all creative (also fun and positive people!) here at CH, and we have loads of experience under our belt producing fun and upbeat content for lots of different clients.

Get in touch with us to see examples and let’s get the ball rolling.

CH x Euronics: Going the Extra Mile

By Gary Wales • March 26, 2026
When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.

Utilising the Latest AI Tools to Boost Creativity

By Aidan Patterson • March 19, 2026
Generative AI can easily open doors to help create bespoke, crafted content to elevate a video beyond the usual approaches. Recently we tested the latest AI tools to create vast scenic landscapes, humorous underwater worlds and visual effects shots for several campaigns. The tools have advanced a long way over the last few years and the barriers to creating believable or imaginative worlds are fading away all the time. Need an underwater disco full of dancing fish? Got it. A speaking anthropomorphic clown fish? Absolutely. The Key is Consistency It was key to ensure a good amount of consistency across each video. We created multi-angle reference sheets of characters and key objects and use node-based tools to link these, and additional brand references, to ensure the look was maintained throughout. The tools are now in a place where you can also direct and control the results much more closely. Camera moves, lens choices and lighting can be defined and adjusted to get closer to the image or video that you’re looking for and as the creative options expand, options for creativity within each shot expand infinitely.

We're Award Winners!

By Gary Wales • February 24, 2026
We're thrilled to announce that we won not one, or two, but THREE Lens Awards at Communicate Magazine's prestigious awards event. We won awards for best One-off Video Campaign (Bronze) and Best Lifestyle and Wellbeing (Gold) for our work with Essity , a global hygiene and health leader that trusted us to transform essential H&S by producing a fresh and memorable induction video for visitors to their historic Oakenholt Mill. Delivering key messages with humour and heart, our approach stars children from real Essity employees as the mill’s pint-sized operators. It was a silver for Best Live or Experiential Video, celebrating our cinematic event work with PepsiCo . The Away from Home team’s breakout room at an international conference contained five ultrawide 4K screens stretching nearly 30 meters. Where we delivered 20 videos and nearly 70 assets overall, blending real footage, AI generated visuals, and synchronised side-screen magic. A panoramic feel that supported our client’s event in a whole new way. Thank you to our awesome team of in-house creatives. Photographed, a delegation from CH attended the event on behalf of the whole company.
