A Blockbuster filming day at the world famous Pinewood Studios seemed the ideal team building event for Codemasters, who wanted the ultimate team building day to bring out their creative best. Active created this filming event at Pinewood Studios, requiring teams to plot, write, cast and shoot their own short films in the grounds.

On arrival the group were split into teams and had to select from a genre of films including horror, martial arts, costume drama, military, murder mystery and famous spies. Each group were given their own camera together with film props and costumes and, after delegating the various roles, they had the day to film their great masterpiece.

Guests returned in the evening for dinner in the great ballroom which had been transformed into an Oscars themed evening with 'paparazzi' taking photographs and interviewing guests, flambeaus and lift sized Oscars together with an array of famous Hollywood greats placed around the room which helped to create this night of glamour. An MC was on hand to announce the screening of each of the films between courses with the grand finale being the awards ceremony with Oscar winners including best film, best actor and best screen writer.

All 60 participants were given a DVD of the film they made.
