We offer a ‘pick n’ mix’ service too!

Each of our services can be offered as a separate unit, therefore if you require just scripting/storyboards legal Clearances, localisation of existing materials, you can cherry pick!

Scripting

We offer scripting services, either with our in-house teams or with freelancers. With the flexibility on offer, we can ensure the right scriptwriters are working on your project.

We have over 30 years of experience from original conceptualisation through to adapting existing foreign materials for a UK market. We have worked with clients across the globe. All our scripts come with Clearcast (UK legal Clearance), so you know that nothing would be written that couldn’t be used for your desired media platform. Working across all genres from Kids to Pharmaceuticals and everything in between, we are very much aware of the challenges that can come in these respective sectors.

Storyboarding

From your written scripts or working up scripts for you, we provide a storyboarding service.

With a pool of professional artists, we have many styles of execution on offer from simple to sophisticated.

PRODUCTION

With our broad expertise across live action, artists, special FX and CGI we are able to film a variety of styles appropriate to your needs.

Working with products from clothes, toys, food, drink and jewellery et al, we pull in the right teams to create the quality, look and feel required.

Our teams work across the UK and Europe, so we can go where the talent is right and the costs are keen!

Filming

Throughout the years we have had the fortune of working with many different formats from film to digital. This gives us the opportunity to share our experiences with you and consider the right technique for your concepts, with a pragmatic approach to cost efficiencies and value.

Whilst filming we are also aware that the filmed materials may be used for other requests down the line, so we manage extra filming where possible with no impact on your costs.

Editing

We have our own in house team of editors which enables us to provide editing packages to work within the provided budgets.

Creatively we will often edit images or content at pre-production stage to share with our clients to consider flow and communication, before we commence productions on high-end expensive systems.

With our team’s core background in editing, we have a strong understanding of story telling within restrictive timings, along with a clear vision of continuity when filming.
