East Lothian Council Outdoor Education Service - We don't know where to start. We just loved it all! Basically, if you have 2.5 minutes free today then, this is how to spend it.

Climb Scotland - We certainly have a very talented group of young people over in the ClimbScotland community. The transitions and sequences are such great fun. The improvised training routines, hanging out of the window, the kitchen, the nerf gun, the boot inside the boot, booting the boot, the bike, the motorbike, the quad bike - we loved it all.
Mountaineering Scotland - We loved the pace of the clip and some of the transitions (the bit with the rucksack and the hoist cracked us up!).

Hampshire Search and Rescue - Some clever transitions eg: 'mention of countryside to countryside shot', love the bit with the PPE and its our first Horse in a #GiveCOVIDtheBoot video!
Tayside Mountain Rescue Team - one of the funniest videos we have had so far. We loved the music and the different shots. The tent, the person reading, the person hanging from the house, the family with the 'thumbs up'!
Berkshire Lowland Search and Rescue (Lovely video, clear messages, water fight, cute baby in a hat and we loved it when the guy puts the boot back on at the end).
Mourne Mountain Rescue Team (Wonderfully well put together and edited video that oozes the professionalism, values and friendship needed to be a first class Mountain Rescue Team. The families, the rope work, the radio controlled Mountain Rescue Landrover, the cheeky smiles when delivering a clear, simple and powerful message. So great to see the involvement of the Air Ambulance and NHS Staff. It shows that you are one big connected team).
