We recently worked on two lyric Videos for Nova Kicks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUp6tquDbnI For the new release 'The Right Way' the band wanted to use a mix of archival footage to create a montage of visuals to accompany the theme of the words. We combined a mix of royalty free footage and merged layers and effects to ensure that we modernised the footage, whilst paying tribute to the hard work of the previous talent from the days of the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfetbgulW7U 'Pieces of You' is a track from the Nova Kicks album; 'Maps'. For this lyric video we wanted a subtle and emotive feeling through gentle animation.…

So, in 2021 and beyond, getting your message across via online video will be crucial, whatever size or type of company you are.

Live streaming has been enjoying a healthy following over the last few years, but as 2020 has forced us indoors and online, its success has skyrocketed.

The final shot of the film is set within a typical country cottage where two people can be seen to enjoy the warmth of a…

The Brewery itself has been there since 1849 and the business still remains a family run company after all this time. Our approach was to tell a short story that captured their passion for crafting real ales and blend this with cinematic shots which create the atmosphere you feel when visiting their rural location. Planning the Shoot We visited the site of the Brewery which allowed us to visualise shots in advance. It…
