Video editing and post production
When you're learning to write web copy, you'll often see the words "show, don't tell". And what better way of showing than using a video? Do you send your clients or prospects a leaflet or booklet? Now that DVDs are relatively cheap, why not include a video demonstration of your product or service? They can also be made interactive - so that you are sending your prospect something that acts like a web page, but focussed on his or her particular needs. We can edit or convert any format from mobile phone (MP4) right up to full size HD (1920 x 1080)

We can also produce special FX on a surprisingly low budget, and more and more independant film makers are are taking advantage of computer enhanced FX, with programmes like Adobe After Effects which we offer. Cinematic effects are widely used in futuristic sci-fi such as partial de-saturation and judder FX for pop video applications. These are very easy to do in After Effects.

Many organisations still believe that 'Hollywood' style computer graphics command 'Hollywood' budgets - Think again! The video sequence above was edited in After Effects and Premier in less than eight hours, that's a total cost of only £200 at £25 per hour!!

Video brochures:
These are an update on the traditional catalogues. Not only can you show your product range in one easily portable format, but as the range changes, your catalogue can be updated at anytime.
Estate agents virtual tour:

An online tour of the property would give prospective buyers a perfect tool to view what they are interested in. It c
an also be output to DVD for point of sale displays in your office.

Performers' showreels:
If you're with an agency, they'll often suggest (or even insist) that you get a showreel made. This is, in effect, a moving CV or tearsheet file, showing clips that cover the range of your performing abilities. We can also produce slide shows for models with background music etc. See our Showreel page.



Point-of-sale displays:
Ever been in one of those stores where they have a screen promoting unusual products like stick-on bulkhead lights and super-absorbent sponges? POS displays are a great way to draw shoppers' attention to new lines.
Flash Banners:
Moving Flash banners on web pages are very effective and hold a viewers attention. See home page. Can be done any size.
Product training:
Wouldn't it be easier for users of your product to see it in action, rather than having to read pages of dry text? It also cuts out yards of explanation - just show them how it's done. Complicated processes can be shown in close-up and slow motion to make the whole process clearer.


Trade Show Demo Discs:
Run a showreel of your company, showing who you are and what you do. This can be projected on to a screen in your show booth.
Video portfolios:
Particularly good for artists and craftsmen and women. Show examples of your work as a video slideshow, with comments and/or captions.
Special FX:
Blue or green key screens are a widely used solution for news and weather programmes, but can also be used very effectively in training or head to head scenarios. Charts and diagrams can be flipped behind the presenter or a person can be in another place with a seamlessly intergrated background.


Interactive DVD magazines:
Paper magazines have their place, but the up and coming technology is for interactive magazines. A number of companies now produce an online magazine, either free or by subscription
Employee training:
As in product training, it's so much easier to demonstrate what you mean by showing people actually doing it. A training video can include live action and moving screencasts.

News or information feeds:
We can add scrolling text anywhere on the screen, although most common at the base to make points in training or sub titles for the hard of hearing. This can also be done at the DVD authoring stage where subtitle tracks can be switched on or off by the end user.
