Special events
Recording a special event in a professional way and then keeping the highlights for the future seems obvious. But this is often not well thought out and very poor in quality. We have experience over many years and utilising the finest of equipment, skills and techniques. Outputting video you will enjoy for many years to come and we can output onto temporary websites for remote access to those that could not make it in person.Your rock band/ orchestra promotion
From a setup recording of your band (we love all music) to recording a gig, pub event, live orchestral event. Where ever that may be we will get our heads around the time factor, the access, sound quality, and all production considerations to produce just what you need and within a tight budget. Editing will naturally be crucial to a project like this, Introducing effects, timing and a finesse you would not have imagined.
Summer Fair
A summer fair will take an enormous mount of organisation. Often many contributors and participants come together to create a fabulous environment. Covering such an event needs a dedicated production company that works hard, thinks fast, is experienced. The completed video content can be important for reviewing, promoting, public relations and mere archiving. Sometimes we are just asked to condense your filming. Edit varied images (photos and video) into a crafted output. We are happy to do this and advise on what material will be needed.Educational event
From the graduation ceremony to the school play. Every moment needs to be captured reliably, high quality, with consideration and well planned. We review the location, consider the lighting and sound and the safety aspects involved. There is a lot that should be considered and we make light work of it. But its in the output that you realise the difference!

So this article I wrote investigates one way which is assisted by new AI technology. AnimationMadeSimple article.Mobil app launch
Filming an exhibition info video for the launch of a major new Finance mobile app was a challenge. In two weeks we were commissioned to find a suitable restaurant location, devise a telling storyline, find film and edit actors. the outcome a two minute broadcast level info video for display on an exhibition giant screen and online. “Setting the scene for the new app was a crucial requirement of the video. It succeed superbly and drew people to the stand. Much more powerful than we expected. Impressed with the speed and accuracy of production”The other end of the World

It has been a busy month launching a smartphone video creator course with an experienced colleague. This course has been developed to help video makers of all levels to start using just their smartphone apple or android and find the important skills that will make every video better. We know video works and improves you chances of communicating your ideas.

But as we stay ahead of the video marketing opporutnities we pride ourselves on offering this service quickly and at a very reasonable rate for your customers. As video and marketing strategies become more integrated we have worked out ways to offer this service that becomes fundamental to a strong video campaign. Call us to learn more>>Dec 2021
Building marketing funnels is complex and has many moving parts. One of the most important elements is the integration of video. Be it a VSL (video sales letter) or a Youtube in stream ad. The conversion for any arketing campaign is massively increased with the effective use of video. We build the funnels and offer the courses. This example funnel https://takeyourskillsonline.com/ demonstrates the opportunity. We can advise and produce the entire funnel including the video scripting and content.Aug 2019

Techniques that include interactive video with hotspots, live links into e-commerce and further information for the visitor.

A&S Landscape specialise in school canopies and we worked with AmbitActivate to take some photographs of a dining area canopy and take a video interview at Poynton High School in Cheshire.

Editing has been busy with sub-cutting footage for a key client and their International customer and partners. A proportion of our work is in providing services for other producers as has been the case for over 30 yrs in our industry experience of the video world. Other work continues on the development of promotional material for a key adults charity. We film and edit footage and have produced a number of short programmes for this worthy charity. Its particularly interesting work and they are very original with their approach to adult needs. We have some work going on evolving a complex content management system website for a key advertising agency into a parallel driven responsive mobile website. The benefits of responsiveness are great but this has to be aligned with the advantages of a powerful CMS and a complex visual website.Respect to Cultures around the world
I was reading about the current position with Sony and Mr Obama’s position on their decision not to screen the multi million dollar movie. I think there has to always be a deal of respect to different cultures so it is difficult to comment on the precise decision Sony have taken. Clearly they need to consider their customers safety first. Freedom of speech on-line is good and that has to be within levels of respect. Hacking though has to be stopped!
