What do you need?
- Loops are made to repeat continuously and are generally brief and focused, specifically designed for installation in interpretive exhibits. We can produce digital video loops, and also audio only loops.
- Shorts are often intended primarily for webcast but they can also be designed for large screen viewing, and work well as provocations for discussion in classroom or conference use.
- Research Archive DVs are typically lightly edited and finished versions of filmed interviews and location records or even compilations of archival footage which have been given basic indexing, titling and credits. They are intended to preserve visual data and some project context for longer term uses and most likely eventual re-editing or other adaptive re-use by the client. To date our work in this area has included oral histories, conference documentation and compilation of background footage for research and ongoing topical enquiries that need extensive treatment.
- Raw Digital Video is the undigested full visual data collected in a project that few filmmakers provide to clients and may not even even keep themselves once a project is edited. As an ethnographic and archaeological film workshop, we do keep raw DV safety copies archived for at least a year after final cut is agreed and a project is ended unless instructed otherwise, and we can provide a full copy of all raw material as part of the original contract if needed. For most clients however, the Research Archive DVD where this footage is lightly edited (and can be arranged or indexed by topic if necessary) will be more useful.
- Long Form or “Feature Length” Documentaries (30-90 minutes) Clients who are interested in commissioning long form documentaries for broadcast or large screen viewing need to contact us early in their planning process to discuss pre-production development, funding, scheduling, target audience and technical needs. These projects normally require a more complex crew and special production planning and services.
- Locative Media: Heritage Site and Cultural Trail Apps – We can provide research and development services for location based media, preparing visual content, and scripts for heritage sites or local cultural trails. We help you chose the most effective tools for delivery depending on the site and your budget.
- Crowd Funding Pitches- We can help you make a short punchy pitch film or trailer for use in developing a grant application or a funding campaign. We will work with you and the platform provider you choose to find the right approach.
- Multimedia- We can prepare multi media sites, installations and products that meet your needs if you provide the original artwork, sound files etc with appropriate consents and copyright.
