Motion Graphics

These days it is rare to see any production that doesn't have some sort of motion graphic incorporated into the final video. That's why we have developed an exceptionally strong team of designers who work closely with the production team to deliver stunning screen graphics: titles, stings, idents and animations. Softwares used are typically After Effects, Cinema 4D and Flash.

Graphics

3D Animation

We originally developed expertise within 3D animation through our relationship with Castrol and the need to produce fly through graphics of engines and gearboxes. Our team now produce work for title sequences and more recently architectural modelling of offices for site safety and induction videos.

Foreign versioning

Subtitling & Graphics

Many of our clients have global operations which means their communications need to be available in several languages. We provide the transcription, translation and subtitling service and use our own GFX department and sound booth to re-version any on-screen graphics and rerecord the voice-over.

Shooting

Global Crews

Our Production Manager resources global crews, equipment and logistics for shoots virtually anywhere in the world. It can be green screen, steadycam, broadcast or corporate. Wherever we film, safety is our number one priority so we always carry out risk assesments and method statements.

Editing

5 HD Edit Suites

Our facilities include five HD edit suites running Final Cut Pro and Adobe Production Suite. Although we still retain DigiBeta machines the facility is now fully geared up for tapeless HD digital aquisition and delivery. All the suites share assets through a high speed SAN for increased productivity and are networked with our graphics facility. Supplementing the suites are dedicated ingest machines and several offline work stations.

Storyboarding

Storyboarding isn't always a necessity but for short commercials and graphic intense productions they are essential. This is a brief clip from the Flashbay video showing the development of the video from simple storyboard to finished piece.

Facilities

Crewing

On the shoot or back in post you need people you can trust but above all when you're really up against it you need confidence in the crew; that they can shoot the style you want, on kit that is reliable and matched to the job. We've been booking and hiring crews since the early nineties, so it's not surprising that Juliet, our Production Manager, can organise shoots in almost any part of the world - from camera operators who can track a golf ball to corporate crews who are comfortably working on an oil rig or filming a Chief Executive.

 

"They offer all the services without sacrificing on quality. They organise crews in countries around the world. Your deadline becomes their deadline, and they go out of their way to meet it."

Communications Manager, BP Refining

Graphics

The graphics team provide all the design work and motion graphics that appear in our corporate and TV productions but they also work directly with external clients providing title sequences and animations. Even if you are not clear on how to achieve what you need or you just need an idea of cost and timescales, then speak to one of our producers.

Editing

We have five online edit suites and a whole bunch of offline work areas. That way our assistant producers can prep the offline before handing over to the editors. We wouldn't expect a documentary editor to cut a full-on music promo or the promo editor to handle a doc, so to make sure we get the very best results, our editors are a mix of full-time and freelance, that way we match the best skiill sets to the job.
