WHY CLIENTS BOOK US…
Everyone on your shoot has done this hundreds of times.
Your CEO has twenty minutes and your office is a working floor. That is exactly when you need people who have lit interviews for broadcast documentaries and run multi-camera studio days, not a crew still learning.
Senior people only
Every director, DOP and editor on your project brings years of broadcast and commercial credits. No trainees learning on your budget.
One accountable lead
You deal with a named senior DOP from first call to final delivery, under a UK limited company with clear terms.
At ease in business settings
Quiet, tidy and on schedule in offices and boardrooms. We have filmed full interview and B-roll sessions in a four-hour office slot.
Footage with you same day
Our 1Gbps line sends rushes to your team or overseas office the day of the shoot, on whatever platform you use.
