Clarendon SEND School

A visual record of the build, from early AI-assisted updates to topping out and the finished progress film.

A clearer story as the school took shape.

Across nine visits, Vidda filmed the live build and turned the footage into progress updates for Kier and the wider project team. Early AI-assisted edits helped communicate what the developing site could become before the finished spaces were easy to picture.

The work focused on construction documentation and visual communication, not survey measurements.

Make early progress easier to imagine.

Early-stage footage and AI-assisted visual edits helped connect the construction site with the intended finished school. This gave the team a more engaging way to discuss progress while much of the design was still taking shape.

“It’s really fascinating to see the project from this perspective. The visuals are brilliant.”

A milestone worth sharing.

Topping out was an important day for the team. Photography captured the people and the moment, giving everyone a chance to celebrate what they had achieved and see how far the school had come.

“Great videos—many thanks, appreciated.”
