On 6th July 2010 HRH The Prince of Wales took the salute at a Royal Review in the Mall, London to celebrate 150 years of the Cadet Forces in the UK. Cadets, volunteers and their massed bands from across the UK marched from Horse Guards Parade down The Mall to Buckingham Palace in a colourful parade, past Clarence House where The Prince took the Salute in honour of the anniversary.

We were commissioned to shoot the event and make this short video highlighting the Army Cadet Force and their role in the event.

University of East Anglia interviews

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 12:38:24 +0000

We’ve been working with the University of East Anglia over the last few months producing over twenty interviews for use on the universities website. We decided to shoot the interviews using our 35mm DSLR video system which gives the videos a very filmic look and attracts the viewers attention to the speaker by dropping the background out of focus.

Below are three interviews shot for the universities business school, click the thumbnails to watch the videos.

Harley-Davidson Euro Festival 2010

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 11:53:39 +0000

After shooting and producing marketing videos for Harley-Davidson in 2009 we were delighted to be chosen to shoot the events again this year. Having any client book us for a second season is always a great compliment but when it’s somebody like Harley-Davidson we can’t help but feel extremely proud that they have chosen us again for 2010.

We’ve recently returned from the first of this years European events, the Euro festival which takes place in the French Riviera near St Tropez. Within a week of returning from the event Harley-Davidson like to send newsletters out to the Harley owners Group with news from the event and video clips showing highlights and winners of the custom bike show which is held during the weekend of the event. We work with Archant-Dialogue (Harley-Davidsons marketing agency) to produce these videos in time for the e-zine to be delivered.

Below is the highlight video that we’ve produced.

CEGA Group are one of the UK’s leading independent claims management and emergency medical assistance companies. We worked with CEGA’s marketing agency ‘design distillery‘ to produce two short videos to be shown at an awards ceremony and on the companies website.

This first video was shot on location at bournemouth airport where we used our steadicam system to produce stable shots whilst following the action during the patient loading sequence. We also had the pleasure of filming in one of the companies air ambulances during a flight from London to Bournemouth.

European Bike Week is Europe’s biggest and best Harley party, and for the 12th time the tiny village of Faak in the Austrian province of Carinthia played host to the amazing event.

Running from the 8th – 13th of September we filmed the event in partnership with Archant Dialogue who deliver the videos on behalf of Harley Davidson via their HOG gallery website and via an online e-zine and emails.
