We know that having the correct format for our clients is a key aspect of our service and as times are changing and shooting on digital is becoming a rapidly increasing requirement we want to reassure you that we can deliver.

Time spent digitizing footage can be a long and painstaking part of post production.

We have invested in our new EX-3 Camera, enabling us to copy the footage to external hard drives at the push of a button and know all of the scenes captured throughout the day will effortlessly pop up in FCP or Avid ready for the edit. It takes just minutes to upload high quality HD footage which is a great benefit of the digital era.

Lots of websites have different players installed, which require films in specific sizes and formats to achieve the best quality playback, and we can provide the footage in any format required. Of course we still shoot on tape HD, XDCAM HD, HDV, Digibeta, and DVCAM. We just like to offer a wide choice to you all!

Manchester Crown Court Hearing

A local debate has been the talk of the town recently when Gold National Events had a citywide event cancelled by Manchester City Council reneging on their contract signed days earlier.

Company director Mike Forrester has won a legal battle after the city council cancelled his Bob Marley Tribute Festival. MCC granted permission to stage the event in central Manchester though later withdrew, claiming they were acting on police advice.

The concert was set to have an estimated audience of 15,000. We accompanied Mike to film his hearing and provide Web exposure.

Hollyoaks

Music Show

Hollyoaks and new music is a match made in heaven and now broadcast weekly is a show dedicated to this marriage…

We were very excited to be invited back on set at the Hollyoaks village at Lime Pictures this month where we helped film for their second series of ‘The Hollyoaks Music Playlist Show with Matalan.co.uk’

With a great list of acts to date including Diana Vickers, Tinie Tempah, Basshunter, The Hoosiers and even Craig David we were delighted to be part of the shoot.

During a full day on Set we filmed Links for the show, met some of the all-new Hollyoaks cast and had a really fun day!

No Limits…

Take a moment to consider that with the technology solutions available today the achievements and individual looks to our programmes are only limited by our creativity, the technology we choose to employ, and ok, to an extent the budget. But there are workarounds! We put time into getting it right and to putting the money on the screen. Our efforts include the supply of single-camera, multi-camera, Live OBs, hidden-camera, timelapse filming, photography, autocue solutions, and makeup artists. We can tailor the package for you and seamlessly project-manage. We’re just a phone call and a friendly chat away…and with no limits

Across to the reds!!

One Big Day - Motability

From one Premiership team’s home ground to another! After the Europa League game at SportCity we took a day out at Old Trafford’s Theatre of Dreams to work alongside our regular client Straker Films to film a promotional video for Motability.

Hosted at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, the Motability Day is a big corporate event dedicated to bringing together and showcasing the latest adaptations and technology to help disabled drivers or their passengers travel independently and in style.

In the Racing Pits at the

Superleague Formula

Our DP Robert Foster had a weekend in the Pits at the esteemed Brands Hatch racecourse down in Kent.

For the first time, Brands Hatch welcomed the Superleague Formula, which we were thrilled to cover. This is one of the world’s most iconic motor racing venues and plays host to some of the biggest international events on the calendar in 2010.

Robert operated on one of the many live cameras covering the event.

First used for grass track bike racing in 1926, Brands Hatch is a firm fans' favourite and has been the scene of some momentous occasions in motor racing history - from Ayrton Senna's first ever car victory and Nigel Mansell's first Grand Prix win, to the first-ever British Touring Car race.

The Superleague Formula was a huge weekend full of crowds of football loving petrol heads from all over the globe. Races also included in the packed weekend were; The GT Cup Championship, The Lotus Cup Europe and The Formula Junior. The cars in the Superleague Formula are similar to Formula One cars. However every team uses identical cars and 750-horsepower V-12 engines. Eighteen clubs took part including English clubs Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur. The results after Round 7 placed AC Milan in first position in the 2010 General Standings.
