A series of short films were created for Ebac, a UK manufacturer of white goods that are launching their new range of washing machines. Each video shows a unique feature of the range, and we assisted with script writing, storyboarding, location scouting, filming, editing and post production. Finished examples can be viewed here.

We created a stunning piece of CGI and compositing for Preston Hall Museum in the North of England. The finished piece shows a ghost train crashing through a bookshelf in a library. The bookshelf design is displayed on a seamless bezel video wall in the room, and all CGI was created bespoke for the project. The museum was nominated for the 2013 Art Fund Museum of the Year prize. To see the content, please contact us. 

A still from a short piece we created for Pfizer at a conference they held in Liverpool. We attended for 2 days and gathered a series of interviews with staff that in some cases, were quite emotional. Editing and post production took place very quickly, using FCPX and Resolve.

Working for Paragon Creative, we produced an interactive that gave visitors the experience of competing in a Biathlon event. A custom piece of programming enabled pressure pads to sense movement, and speed of movement to gauge the speed at which a visitor was performing the skiing task, before they had to use a re-produced gun for target shooting. The gun used laser sensors to assess hit and misses, before displaying a time and score for each visitor. The interactive runs on a giant projection screen and is split so that 2 people can compete directly.

Working for Norfrost we developed a series of films that showed the best features of a new range of chest freezers that were being launched. We assisted with storyboarding, scripting, location scouting, filming, editing and post production. Finished films can be seen here and here

We have worked with Yara for over 20 years, and in 2014/15 they asked us to design and install a custom AV room for them in a new visitor centre. The AV room would be used for showing films to visitors, training sessions, demonstrating their iOS applications and as a relaxing area for breakout sessions. We specified all equipment and installed it, as well as developing content and custom iOS applications to control the playback of media, lighting levels, AV source switching, audio source and volume, window blinds and power on/off. The application could even change the colour of the lighting in the room! A seamless bezel LED wall was installed, and we developed a screen saver which matched the printed background of the room perfectly. A surround soundtrack was also created so that the room could be rethemed for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

We conducted a series of interviews for York University to document the workshops that they run in the city for Pharmaceutical companies to access training and skills for their staff. To view the finished films, please contact us. 

A custom iOS application was developed for Cape, in partnership with Grand Designs Animations in Leeds. The application runs on iPad for use in sales conferences and has embedded video, audio and pdf information that can be emailed direct to clients after use. 

To download a demonstration version of the software, or view more samples, please contact us. 

We were asked to create a documentary film to show the history and potential future of the shellfishing industry of the Yorkshire coastline in 2015. A series of interviews were gathered along with b-roll footage, aerial, underwater and at sea filming to assist with the story. Filming took place with the Red Epic Dragon, Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Blackmagic Pocket Camera, Sony A7RII, Panasonic G4 and Canon 5DMKII. To view the finished film, please contact us.

In 2015 and 2016 we started creating a series of films for Yara to look at the success of their products around the UK and Europe. Filming took place with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, and we provided rough cuts within hours of filming so that a narrative could be developed. Once this was established with the client, a custom music track was sourced and we provided a finished piece. Editing took place in Premiere and FCPX, with audio mastered in Audition. If you would like to view the finished films, please contact us.
