We delivered this clip for our client last week. It was screened for our client, our client’s boss, his boss and their boss. That far up, surely that has to be Barrack himself? Anyway, after the screening, they burst into a round of applause! So our client is very happy indeed.

We’ve just completed a piece for Commetric, who do some really interesting work connecting communications with business activities. We produced a voice over with music for a powerpoint presentation.
As it was our first job we did for them, we asked for a little feedback. Here’s what Chris Shaw, CEO of Commetric, wrote:
“As someone who has never done any form of production – where to start/what to do/what is involved were a complete fog. So we looked for speed and understanding; prepared to listen to the brief and develop it. No technical jargon.
You gave good customer service – accessible – provided advise and a series of options; you seemed to get what we wanted extremely quickly and delivered a great result.”
Great to hear that kind of feedback! I think the reason we do is because we listen to our clients, ask a whole load of questions to make sure we understand what they’re after before starting work. Of course, there are times when we make suggestions in a different direction, but the most important thing to do is listen to what the client has in their mind at the start.

This morning I called up a client for a catch up this morning and was greeted with “I was going to call you today, I have a new project for you…” That’s never bad to hear!
Earlier in the year we created a clip filmed on the last day of exams at Kaplan Law school. We cut the footage into a film for Kaplan to show law firms interested in sending graduate trainees on their courses. They now want us to edit the material for a student facing clip to attract students to the course. Just shows how versatile video is, one day’s filming can create a whole range of different films.

Yesterday we shot at Worthing Hospital for a piece on West Sussex PCT.
We got to film a plaster cast being sawn off, people reviewing X-rays, plus lots of very technical looking equipment. Wonder how much will make the final cut?!

One of our clients wanted some ‘generic’ brand elements that could be used with any project. We’d seen a lot of their material, which had all been very specific using their logo and tag lines, and we wanted to create something a little less obvious and a little more…. esoteric.
We took inspiration from the work of Saul Bass, legendary graphic artist who created many distinctive Hitchcock and Bond titles.
Okay, what we’ve done is a lot simpler, but the client was pleased! This graphic was designed so that text could be placed over it in the company’s style of white text with no drop shadow, so needed to have a high contrast. We also had fun with their corporate colour palate, straying from the blues with which their branding is chiefly associated with.

We’ve just finished a film showing off Motasem’s latest collection of dresses, shot and directed by Abbie Lucas. Sabina Ali, founder of Motasem, asked us to film the stills shoot which she commissioned for her marketing materials.
Shot at the breathtaking Lordship Park, Abbie chose a starburst filter to give the film that soft, glowing effect.

Today we filmed the students of Kaplan Law School as they finished their last exam. The School is based down in Borough and offers GDL, LPC and BVC legal training.
The students were in high spirits as they’d just finished their final exam and were more than willing to speak to us about their time at the school. They seemed to very much like the Kaplan style of traditional lectures rather than online learning.
The footage is going to be put together into a clip to promote the school.

On Tuesday we filmed at the launch of the Us Now documentary, streaming the discussion afterwards live. It’s a great documentary, showing how social interaction via the web is enable groups to become more organised, exchange views and ideas, interact and engage. Definitely worth watching, see the full documentary on their site.

We were asked to film FT columnist Alan Cane talking about business evoltion in tough times, so what better place to shoot it than at the Natural History Museum?
Alan talked about how a tough financial climate can be a change agent for business, but this need not be a negative influence.

We flew over to Rotterdam to film an interview with Vopack for Capgemini. Vopack started off back in the 17th century as a transportation company. Over the years, they’ve focused their core business into chemical and oil storage and transportation. They have 80 terminals in 32 countries, and it’s highly likely the gallon of petrol you put in your car has been through one of them!
The film is about a collaboration between Vopack, Capgemini and Oracle. We’ll post the film when it’s finished.
One nice thing about Rotterdam is that it has a huge amount of public art, which I saw on a walk in the evening and on the cab journeys around the city.
