| We have a purpose-built studio, soundproofed and set in the countryside, the ideal location for creative, relaxed production. |
| For the technically minded, the cameras used are top-of-the-line Betacam S.P. Broadcast units. The edit suite consists of Betacam SP cabled in Component form to a Non-Linear edit bay, the only way to maintain the highest Broadcast Quality throughout the edit. This ensures that, whether the final programme is intended for Broadcast, duplication to V.H.S or to DVD, the image quality is of the highest order. A Firewire and SDI DV option is installed on the system for those who edit on this format. |
The editing facility is comprised of a Digital Processing Systems Velocity, which is totally computerised and Non-Linear. This represents the very latest in high-tech and gives the client the ultimate in edit speed and 3D and 2D effects. This system enables us to give the client every type of special effect seen on screen, which also provide multiple and unlimited layers of moving video for complex sequences. |

For compositing, we use Digital Fusion3, recognised as the finest software in existence for this complex and exciting method of combining multiple layers of pictures and video together, using many different technologies such as chromakey, difference keying and the ultimate in keying technolgy... ULTIMATTE.. only the very best is used here.

| For titling, 2D or 3D animation of graphics, we use cutting-edge software, Inscriber Titlemotion PRO, this CG creates fantastic animations or more simple graphics, whether from a scanned company logo, a sketch or maybe just an embryonic idea which we can take to CG level. Whatever the company or project, we can create a dynamic & impressive logo sequence from scratch. For technical and visualisation projects, the computer is usually the only method of turning a drawing or an idea into 'reality'. |
| A voice - over booth complements the studio, complete with talkback from the suite. A v/o to picture facility is installed and we use Shure SM7 microphones for ultimate vocal reproduction. Choose from many hundreds of Voiceover Artistes to ensure the right voice to complement your production. |
| A 6,000 production music CD library ensures that any production will be perfectly complemented with the correct music. |
| We can also transcode any video format to any video format for display worldwide ( PAL, NTSC, SECAM etc. ) |
| For location work, whether in the U.K. or overseas, we have a variety of vehicles at our disposal. The Mercedes below sleeps 6 comfortably, is centrally heated, and carries all refinements for a prolonged shoot. This vehicle is also hired out on a regular basis. |

For local work, the Toyota Spacecruiser is an ideal vehicle.
