Welcome to the latest edition of VisualMedia Focus

As mother nature plays her tricks on us and face to face meetings seem to be getting harder and harder, web based video is rapidly becoming the communication medium of choice. Whether it’s for an external audience to inform clients and stakeholders, or key messaging for staff delivered via the intranet, video is becoming an increasingly important tool.

This year has seen our filming crews and production staff involved in a huge variety of projects including live webcasts, B Roll, corporate films, executive communiqués, infomercials and pr stunts. We pride ourselves on outstanding levels of customer service and as always help and advice is free. Video communiqués start from as little as £1250 filmed and edited, so if you have any projects that you’d like to discuss, please get in touch.

Kind Regards,

Support Your School is a recycling scheme that is backed by Environmental Business Products, Europe’s largest independent collector of ink cartridges and mobile phones. We were asked by their PR agency College Hill to create a short film to promote the scheme and show what happens to used ink cartridges when they are sent for recycling. The filming was split between Highbury Grove school in North London and EBP’s factory in Harlesdon over a 2 day period, with a subsequent 2 day edit. The finished film now resides on the homepage of the Support Your School website and can be viewed here.

The Crown Estate has recently made two major announcements for the leasing of offshore zones for multi billion pound offshore wave and wind energy projects. VisualMedia was commissioned to help with the production of two short films that could be accessed via the Crown Estate’s own website and the creation of B Roll content for distribution to all of the major broadcasters. The films were cut from a mixture of pre supplied B Roll and animated graphics, coupled with senior executive interviews and press conference coverage. Again, our branded page facility was utilised as a hosting platform for each of the films and we are able to provide detailed access reports on request. The offshore windfarm film can be viewed here and the wave energy film here.

Aviva have recently launched their first ever online annual review which includes exclusive interviews with the Group chief executive and members of the executive management team.
Because of the seniority of the interviewees and the extremely tight schedule to produce the finished review, we had to film all of the interviews on the same day and have everything edited within a three day timeframe. In order to meet deadlines, we had an on-site editor as part of the on-site filming team on the shoot day and worked through the night on two occasions in order to complete the project.

Annual reports, executive portraiture, PR Stunts, whatever the requirement we’re here to help. Utilising our extensive network of over 500 photographers both in the UK and overseas we have worked on over 80 photographic assignments in the past 2 months. With photography rates starting at £300 for a full hour at the shoot location we are ready to deploy at very short notice. We also have a proven track record of helping to place images in the media if required. For further information on our Photography Services, click here.
