Broadcast Graphics and VFX

From wire painting, rotoscoping, CGI zero-G effects to complete environment CGI replacement, we can help to design your sequences or manipulate existing footage to create flawless broadcast graphics and seamless visual fx.

Graphic sequences to enhance and explain content, shot correction, compositing to create what cannot be filmed by camera alone, globes, maps, animated text and diagrams, right through to photo-real recreations of the real to the surreal. We also design and produce title sequences for film and TV, as well as end credits, straps and transitions for film or programme content.

Macro Virtual Productions with LiveScene

We have developed our own pioneering virtual production system designed for macro filming called LiveScene

Unlike a regular volumetric virtual studio, our compact set-up utilises a high definition LED screen which means a macro lens can be focused at close distance to the background without the appearance of unwanted interference patterns.

Bespoke progamming makes our system simple to use, forgiving of lens changes and capable of loading and saving pre-made background scenarios and animation actions in a matter of seconds. Shot backplates can be utilised, but working in Unreal Engine we can create backgrounds to match your requirements that will allow you much more creative control and flexibility on set, in what would normally be unalterable post-production decisions. For example try moving the camera to a different position in the environment, change the direction of sunlight, or remove it completely and make it a stormy rainswept night.

Camera operators also have free rein to move a near 360° and the virtual background tracks to follow. Likewise, slide in toward the background or go handheld and movement tracks perfectly. The camera operator can concentrate on the shot, with the confidence that the background movement and interactions will be consistent and timed perfectly each time.

Motion Graphics and Animation

At heart we are creatively focussed and base all that we do on an experienced approach to good design and skilful execution.

Motion graphics and animation can really help to engage and maintain interest in your film, as well as helping the message to be more memorable. Sometimes the aim may just be to create great-looking video to attract interest – and at other times, such as with explainer videos or brand, product and service promos it can be essential to describe the content as clearly and succinctly as possible. We can animate in any style of both 2D and 3D, from abstract to photo-real, and we can design, build and animate CGI content to the highest quality.

Cinema

We have experience producing and delivering content for cinematic release.

We’ve produced short films for cinema release which have included Dolby Surround sound mixes and a combination of live footage and VFX sequences. We’ve also produced and delivered cinema commercials and produced visuals effects and title sequences for feature film release.

In all these cases we’ve had to deal with the technical issues associated with cinema production including dealing with colour space, resolution and even Sony Surround Sound mixing. We also master media and distribute direct to national cinemas for independent film distribution.

TV Commercials Production

TV commercials and web/social media promos from initial concept right through to final delivery.

You can brief us on your audience and objectives so that we can produce storyboards and scripts, or we can work to your own boards if that’s preferred. We’ve filmed in locations all over the world, we can work to all styles of both 2D and 3D animation and we can combine live-action and animation if required to produce TV spots, promos and virals that communicate your message clearly and achieve results. We handle all clearances, permissions paperwork and technical checks and can deliver your copy to any media destination worldwide, ready for broadcast.

Corporate Film

Using video for employee engagement, marketing or sales campaigns increases your brand awareness and allows you to tell your story in the best possible way.

We take a unique approach to corporate video production for every client. Video can be used across all media and devices too, including apps and websites, as well as more traditional media such as cinema and television. (ie: for TV commercials, social media, web promos, virals, events, etc).

Video dominates internet and mobile traffic by an ever-increasing rate, generating more shareable content and boosting your SEO, helping you to make your success rate more measurable. We can help you to stand out and make the most of the opportunities.

Our team has a vast amount of expertise producing content for brand launch and evolution, employee engagement, B2B and B2C communications, working with senior executives of global organisations, to employees who have never been filmed before. We also have a flawless track record working in situations where there may be vulnerable individuals, children or safety considerations.
