We’ve worked with organisations both big and small on projects ranging from single video production to stocking an entire site with video. Read on for a brief overview of each project.
Asus
We’ve worked with Asus on a retainer basis, supplying them with regular video content to populate techinstyle.tv. The videos have ranged from product overviews, to competition calls to action, to behind-the-scenes videos at their headquarters at Taipei.

BBTradesales
To demonstrate one of BBTradesales’s hero products, we put together a demo video using a mix of presenter-led footage and footage of experts using the product. This video was then embedded on gadget website Firebox and over 60,000 units were sold.

Coeliac UK
Coeliac UK wanted to illustrate the challenges of a coeliac patient, through her own words. We filmed the interview with the patient and produced a four minute video which could be used to show health professionals.

CRFS Cambridge/XJTAG
These two companies found they were spending a lot of money and time giving presentations on their joint solution to prospective buyers in North America. Inevitably, with a limited conversion to sale rate, this was an uneconomic way of doing business and they had been looking for an alternative. They decided to commission a video of the initial presentation they would normally give, which they could show to prospective clients. If the clients confirmed they were interested as a result, they could then justify the cost of a trip to visit them face-to-face.

FirstGroup
FirstGroup required a video that would show the scale of their Southampton bus operation, in a fun and informative way. We spent almost 24 hours on-site, following drivers going about their routines to capture the process from dawn to dusk.

Glenfiddich
Glenfiddich required a video to show its sales team, demonstrating the perception of the brand by bar managers and consumers. Within three days we had shot, edited and delivered a vox pop-based video, ready for use to drop straight in the presentation.

Gocycle
When Gocycle launched its power-assisted bikes in the UK, it was keen to produce a video that would be available to people during National Bike Week, as well as a video to internally promote the press launch held. We worked to produce both videos within the deadline, interviewing the people behind Gocycle, as well as key journalists and opinion formers on what they thought of the product.

GoToMyPC
To illustrate the advantages of telecommuting and therefore the client’s service, we interviewed commuters on their most hated parts of their journey. This video was then used as part of the PR launch.

Humax
Humax found their customer service agents spent a lot of time explaining how to use their set-top boxes, which was difficult to do over the phone. To solve this problem, they decided to create a video that customers could be directed to. In addition, they commissioned a video introducing one of their new products, which journalists and consumers could refer to.

IDG was commissioned by a client to create advertorial-style videos on a range of topics, from ‘how to work remotely’ to ‘how to keep the office green’. We produced these videos, working with a member of IDG staff as the presenter.

As one of the UK’s leading Mac magazines, Macworld was keen to be one of the first with a review of the new iPhone 4 online for its readers. We shot and delivered the video within the day, to maximise the views on this hot product.

Nectar
Nectar asked us to produce a video about its new iPhone app, which would educate but also engage the loyalty card holders. By combining a clear app demo with a less serious ‘Extreme Shopping’ segment, the balance was struck.

Omio
Omio came to us with a brief to create a lighthearted video of someone reviewing a phone, in an old fashioned style. We got creative in our editing suite to produce a silent-movie style review, using one of the Omio team as the actor.

Oregan
As a new entry to the set top box market, Oregan needed a video to illustrate the advantages and USPs of the product. We took the press release, produced a script and filmed the video, delivering the final edit on the same day as the shoot took place.

Picochip
Picochip makes the components that go into femtocells, the signal boosters now being given out by network operators such as Vodafone. Although useful, they were difficult to explain to the consumer and press in an engaging manner. Rather than trying to do so in a press release, we put together a video of one of the creators of the technology explaining the product, which proved to be a much more digestible format. For those more familiar with the technology, we also put together a video with one of Picochips partners, which explained the technology chain in more detail.

Pocket Lint 3D
The Pocket Lint annual awards were held in a 3D cinema this year, and what’s a 3D cinema screen without 3D footage to put on it? We filmed each of the nominated gadgets, producing a film to accompany the awards, which looked great with that added third dimension.
YouTube: PocketLint Awards
Q Waves
We worked with Q Waves to produce one video explaining two products in its range. We wrote the script and then visited its HQ to present and film the video. This video was then sent out as part of the PR launch.

Recombu
Recombu, a site dedicated to mobile phone news and reviews, commissioned us to make a weekly show. We came up with the concept of The Phone O’Clock News, giving viewers a 3 minute overview of the week’s mobile news.

Samsung
Samsung wanted a number of videos made at the Mobile World Congress phone show in Barcelona. These ranged from demonstrations of new products, to interviews with key executives, to a highlights package of the press conference. Over four days, we delivered twelve videos which were distributed to Samsung offices throughout the world for internal and press purposes, as well as uploaded for the public on YouTube. The most successful video was of their new Wave handset, which has had over 49,000 views to date.

ShareMyPlaylists
This playlist site required a voiceover video, demonstrating to users how to create and share a playlist for the online music streaming service Spotify. We used visualisation tools to capture the process and then paired it with a voice-over explaining the process. This is now hosted on the site.

Sony 3D
To celebrate the Champions League Final in Madrid, Sony projected a spectacular 3D animation onto the buildings of Madrid’s Plaza Santa Ana. We were there to capture the action, and then set about presenting it in such a way as to truly reflect the scale.

Sony Professional
We filmed a Press Open Day at Sony’s R&D labs, putting together a video to give an overview of the event for those that could not attend. We also created B-Roll footage for Sky and BBC, which was sent over to them the same day as the event.

Sony Vaio launch
Sony’s PR company commissioned us to make a video of the launch event for a new range of Sony Vaio laptops, which could be used to show Sony the effectiveness of the day. As well as filming at the event itself, we included available clippings from the resulting coverage and statistics on the reach of the campaign.

Tempero
As part of our ongoing CSR efforts we worked with Tempero on a pro bono basis, producing a video of vox pops after a breakfast briefing on child safety online. Feedback from the CEO was that they found the resulting video invaluable, and would definitely be making videos after key events in the future.

Tesco Mobile
When Tesco Mobile came to us asking for a video that illustrated the gaming capabilities of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play, we had fun coming up with this concept. which involved filming our own take on classics such as Starship Battalion and Fifa 10. The video was then used to promote a competition run by Tesco - entrants had to watch the video to get the answer to the competition question.
Three
To draw attention to Three’s mobile data offerings, we were asked to come up with a video that could be shot around an existing day’s photo shoot. We planned the ‘lost data’ concept around this, utilising the pre-booked sites and actors available.
YouTube: Three
TicketSense
TicketSense needed a video to explain their brand new business proposition, and rightly decided a video would be easier to follow, and more long lasting than a verbal pitch. We created that video, and turned it around within a couple of days.

TrafficBroker Recruitment
The client was keen to encourage recruitment from China and needed a fast way to address an audience on the other side of the world. We created a video with the founder of the company and a key executive, discussing the history of the company and why it would make an excellent employer choice. This was turned around within 48 hours, ready for a recruitment presentation in China.

University of Reading
We produced an interview with Dr Mark Gasson, who needed a video filmed and edited within 48 hours on the subject of online privacy. We filmed on site at the University of Reading and delivered the final video before the deadline.

Wimbledon
Wimbledon Tennis Championship is an event with fans all over the world. Video footage we produced provided a ‘behind the scenes’ glimpse as to what goes on during The Championship. We were on site for the two weeks, providing four videos a day, on everything from the crowd’s best grunts, to an interview with the owner of the resident hawk.

Vodafone wanted a way of demonstrating to customers how easy it is to set up mobile internet on their handsets. We helped develop a script and then put together a simple presenter-led video on the process.
