The clip above is a short trailer of the full length promotional DVD that Valley Films made of the sanctuary. We hope you enjoy it - and if you want to find out more about Buttercups, please consider buying a full length copy of the film 'All in a Day'. This shows a typical day at Buttercups, from the morning feed, to the daily routine of care, grooming and cleaning out of the goats. It reveals the goats at rest and in mischievious play, and is ideal for those suffering withdrawal symtoms whilst the sanctuary is closed to visitors over the winter, or for anyone unable to get to us who want to know more about us.
This video is available for purchase through the Buttercups shop, all proceeds in aid of the goats.
About the Makers of the Video
The Buttercups video and DVD were both made by Valley Films in 2009. The film makers kindly supplied their expertise, time and equipment free of charge.
Valley Films was formed in 1998 by a small group of people who were disillusioned with the way some established video clubs worked. Based in Kent, their objective is to develop the art and skills of amateur film-making. To this end they are structured along the lines of a small production group, but without the professional constraints of having to earn a living at filmmaking or meeting client briefs. They use the talents within for film making but have also developed strong working relationships with a number of amateur acting groups.
Their aim is to produce high quality, entertaining films - and to have a good time whilst doing it.
During the latter part of 2009, many of the Valley Films team worked hard filming a wide variety of scenes at Buttercups, covering the daily routine of caring for the goats and of cattering to their medical and social needs. The only problem with filming was the team began to fall for the charms of the goats, 'popping in' just to see how they were doing, and of course carrying out more filming during each visit.
