Our new Toy Story 5 case study takes a closer look at how we brought @georgehome @asda biggest Disney collaboration to life 🧸

From bespoke room sets and carefully worked-in character details to a campaign world that parents immediately wanted to recreate at home, there was a lot more behind the finished images than meets the eye.

See how the shoot came together, and explore the final work created in collaboration with @disneyhome and @pixar.

There’s a fair chance the whole country’s answer to “what are you doing tonight?” is the same word…

Sofa.

Handy timing, then, that we’ve just wrapped a shoot for @lazboyuk 🛋️

John Lewis found that 58% of fans are planning to watch most of the tournament at home. 53% prefer watching from their own sofa.

And it’s not just viewing habits shifting. Another study reported a 50% jump in online sofa searches in the months before the World Cup.

Which says something useful for furniture and home brands: big sporting moments don’t only live in stadiums. They change behaviours at home.

The clever bit is having your brands content ready in time.

Bit warm out, isn’t it?

Feels like the right day to share the part of @mamasandpapas’ Summer 2026 campaign that never actually left Manchester. ☀️

The wider campaign took us to Portugal for beaches, cafés, villas and old town streets. But these clothing shots were captured in our studio, on a set built to feel like it belonged in the same world.

Which meant making our Manchester studio look like a sunny Mediterranean courtyard.

The stonework started as timber - as did most of the set. Then our in-house scenic artists got to work with paint effects, textures, layers to turn wood into whitewashed walls and weathered stone.

All while keeping the focus where it needed to be: on the @mamasandpapas summer collection.

Useful really, because in the UK you never know whether you’re getting a heatwave, a thunderstorm or a bit of both before dinner.

Toy Story 5 for @georgekidswear 🚀

Come take a look behind the scenes of the shoot, alongside some of the final imagery used online and in store.

Styled, photographed and produced by the team at Rig2.

Turns out spending a few days surrounded by Buzz, Woody and Jessie is just as exciting in your 30s as it was when you were eight 🥹

The World Cup kicks off today ⚽️

Which feels like the perfect excuse to share some of our favourite images from a recent campaign for @sharpsfittedfurniture. WHAT a setup! (Thanks to our v talented stylists 👏)

The Rig2 World Cup sweepstake has officially been drawn and let’s just say some people are feeling a lot more confident than others.

P.S. Does anyone know if Curaçao are any good? #help taken in Manchester, United Kingdom by @wearerig2

Last week we shared the finished campaign. This week, here’s what it took to get it. 👇

🇵🇹 Days in Portugal: 4
👥 Crew members: 6
📸 Product ranges photographed: 6
📍 Locations: 5
🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Models: 7 (plus babies and toddlers!)
🧴 Bottles of suncream: 9
🍦 Ice creams purchased for “props”: 14 (eaten: 14)
🤸 Times someone ended up on the floor for the shot: more than anyone will admit
🚼 Pushchairs folded and unfolded: we stopped counting after 30

We came home with a full bank of photography and video for @mamasandpapas’ Summer 2026 campaign and a veeery deep appreciation for anyone who does this job in 30 degree heat.

We took @mamasandpapas to Portugal. Not for a holiday. For four days of summer content creation that would power an entire seasonal campaign ☀️📸

The brief was all about helping parents feel ready for every adventure, from newborn days at home to summer holidays, café stops and family days out.

Rather than trying to recreate summer in the UK, we based ourselves in the Algarve and built a shoot around real locations, real families and genuinely very fun moments.

Across four days, our team captured photography and video for multiple product ranges, shooting in historic towns, parks, beaches and a beautiful villa location to create a versatile content library for web, social, CRM, app and paid media.

Stay tuned for a look behind the scenes 👀 taken in The Algarve, Portugal by @wearerig2

Our new showreel has arrived 🚨🎬

If you’re new around here, let us re-introduce ourselves.

We’re Rig2. A Manchester-based content studio specialising in photography, CGI and video production. We work with some of the biggest names in home and lifestyle, from @dunelmuk and @sharpsfittedfurniture to @toppstiles and @mamasandpapas, helping brands create the kind of content that actually stops people scrolling.

Our 20,000 sq ft studio has everything in-house. Set build. Props. Post-production. And a CGI team capable of putting a Wimbledon towel on the Statue of Liberty or dropping a Ryder Cup golf ball in the middle of Manhattan. (Yes, really.)

Based in Manchester - working with brands and the agencies behind them across the UK.

If you like what you see and want to find out more, or you just fancy a brew and a nose around the studio, drop us a DM.

We’d love to say hello☕

Last week we exhibited at @Prolific_North’s Northern Marketing Festival and wow, WHAT a week!

It was our first time exhibiting in a while, and it really reminded us how great it is to meet our peers face to face, have a good chat and - of course - draw their faces. (As you do.)

We were blown away by the response to our stand, and we’re so happy to say the portraits went down an absolute storm. Thank you so much to everyone who sat down for one - if you haven’t already, please tag us in yours!

Our highlights included:

🎵 @embryoagency bringing the tunes
🍹 @edisonmedialtd keeping us well supplied with cocktails (after 4pm, of course)
🍬 @icg.agency being the best neighbours and sweet dealers
📺 The TV (IYKYK)
🎨 Watching many happy faces during the portrait reveals
🏛️ The Liver Building service corridors
📝 A notepad stuffed with ideas

A huge thank you to @prolific_north for looking after us and putting on the best events in the biz.

P.S. If you missed your portrait on the day, come to our studio for a brew and get your own. DM us! 👇 taken in Manchester, United Kingdom by @wearerig2
