Our Facilities

Filming

We have a whole bunch of very exciting toys that we like to bring to projects – we’re currently shooting a lot on our Canon 5d MkII’s and Canon 7d. Our cameras come fully supported with rig, follow focus, matte box and monitor and a whole host of prime and zoom lenses. Perfect for shooting HD projects. We also have a steadicam, wally dolly tracks, a quadra-jib, lighting, audio gear – so lot’s of toys to make your project look and sound fantastic!

We also have two Sony DVCAM DSR camera kits which provide a high quality SD solution when the need arises. Right tool for the right job!!

For HD time lapse photography we also have a Canon EOS 550d with a range of lens – wide angle, macro and telephoto. Check out the test stuff we’ve recently shot using the 550d – tasty!

 

Post Production

Voice Over

For voice over to picture or that odd spot effect, our voice over booth is directly linked to and controlled by Edit 1. Perfect for dubbing your message into any language you choose.

Recently we’ve had some wonderful authors in – we record them reading their work and then create the digital audio file for download from Shortbread – a lovely way to spend an afternoon! So if you fancy a bite size audio story to accompany you on your way to work check out http://www.shortbreadstories.co.uk/. Sweet.
