Video Production News from Deepest Darkest Soho
What's new?
We're doing an increasing amount of presentation work and DVD production for The Department of Health and various Governmental organisations concerned with health. In addition we're just back from Mexico where we were able to shoot some great underwater scenes in the underground cave systems that cross the whole of the Yucatan peninsular; Dangerous stuff but highly rewarding.
Since then - various work for Corporate-Value associates, a global corporate consultancy, plus some interesting web-video for SMP playgrounds who needed a camera-crane and steadi-cam to capture the spirit of their designs from various angles. In addition, we've just finished a 30MIn DVD commissioned by Ernst & Young for The Cabinet Office. Their idea was based around a 'Dragons' Den' type concept and was played throughout a 3-day conference in Westminster designed to provoke debate and change across the CIvil Service.
In production for Associated Press is a new set of graphics stings and idents designed for its globally -distributed 'Entertainment Now' programme. Needless to say we're having fun with some very youthful funky styles that will cross international boundaries but also stand the test of time.
We're just putting the finishing touches to a 20min. DVD presentation for 'Imagine' - a Mental Health charity based in South London . The DVD Video heightens awareness of the charity and informs clients of available services - it's also been a lot of fun making it.
For The BBC we made a film about the artist Ralph Steadman; a fascinating character and an amazing graphic artist - perhaps most famous for partnering Hunter S Thompson and pioneering Gonzo art. His work now has pride of place somewhere in the office although it's also possible that someone's pinched it and it's now hanging on a toilet wall in Islington.
We're scripting and shooting an HD film and DVD for The RSPCA - FIlmed at their state-of-the art clinic in Bristol and designed to show off the work of The RSPCA, raise awareness, and stimulate Fund raising at the level of Corporate sponsorship.
In France, as always, we're working with the ever-efficient MFORMA group to provide video content across Mobile platforms through the SFR, Orange and Bouyges Telecom networks.
After our last valiant music video we shot a very colourful Hip- Hop film for Ms Dimples which made a nice change from our usual Indie fare we undertake for labels like Regal. If Music Video interests you - then see our section on Music Video here.
