Without doubt, words alone can’t sell concepts, ideas, products and services. Images help us remember and recognise products and bring them to life. With the benefits of movement and a sound track, a professional video production gives even more appeal and engagement to visual images. The range of corporate video and cinematography productions that we are available for include:
- Advertisements
- Documentaries
- Site progress
- Events
- Architectural and property
- Virtual tours
- Action sequences
- Music videos
Edited footage can be supplied written to DVD or to a personalised USB stick.
In addition to being a BIPP qualified photographer, proprietor Stuart Hay is also a qualified BBC sound engineer with 9 years’ experience of working predominantly on Radio1 and Radio 2 as a studio manager. Whilst working at the BBC, through attachments, Stuart has also got experience in working on both regional and national BBC television programmes.
Through many years’ experience of working as a professional photographer, we now offer a Director of Photography service. As a DoP we oversee the creative and supervisory aspects of a production such as:

Whether you are commissioning a product advertisement, music video or documentary, please do not hesitate to contact the studio in order to discuss your requirements.
A script writing service is available where we plan and write the spoken dialogue during the filming and the voiceovers to be added during the post-production editing process. Scripts are an important part of any corporate video production as they complement the visual images, thus bringing concepts and ideas to life and engaging the audience.
For corporate films requiring action shots with a wide field of view, or in situations where space is limited and of premium concern, the GoPro Hero 6 camera comes into its own. The camera can capture full HD and 4K video footage up to 60 fps as well as 12 MP still images. Being waterproof, the camera can be used to capture all manner of subject material such as:
- Virtual tours
- Action sequences
- Documentaries
- Sports

- Aerial filming
- Underwater filming
Edited footage can be supplied written to DVD or to a personalised USB stick.

We are able to supply our clients with digital images, prints and edited video footage.
