There was a distinct frisson of anticipation at LA Media when this job landed – to film Sir Jackie Stewart and fast cars…..The first part of the day was spent in Glasgow at the press launch, which was fittingly held at the newly refurbished RAC building in Blythswood Square.

Then we zoomed over to Knockhill to film the rally drivers and the legend Sir Jackie who was tearing up the track.  Rally cars are incredibly fast, noisy and completely and utterly thrilling – go see, the rally is taking place on 19-21 November , more info:  http://www.eventscotland.org/press/27

The post production was done in house at LA Media including all the colour grading, filtering and effects, original music and sound FX.

…..now off to pop some stickers & a go faster fin on my 1.3 litre fiesta and tear it up Leith Walk through the trams works…..


This short film was made to advertise a hockey event which is being held in Edinburgh in 2011…..apparently to qualify as a ‘Golden Oldie’ you only have to be 35!  This is aimed attracting hockey lovers from as far afield as New Zealand & Australia, to come to Edinburgh & take part in not only the sport but also to enjoy everything else the city has to offer.

The guys from the Scottish Hockey team had all the moves & this was great fun to film & edit.  We used a lot of motion control & graded the shots to get some great effects.  We also composed & produced the music in-house – the piece gives us a good fast cutting pace which works really well with sport.

Still feeling slightly raw that age 35 is considered ‘Oldie’ though!

EventScotland came to us with a problem.  They had the Open Golf Championship coming up & needed an advertisement to run on the event screens….with less than a week to the event LA Media rose to the challenge & got to work composing a piece of music to set the pictures to.  This music had to have a Scottish flavour without being ‘tartan’ & had to be able to create the right emotional response to complement the aerial shots.

The clients were delighted & even more so when we delivered the finished film along with 2 shorter versions, in less than a week.  Problem gone!

VisitScotland Welcome Animation

We created this ambient 3D animation to function as both a multi-lingual event ‘Welcome’ and directional signage to guide people round the event space across different floors.  This was projected large scale on to a wall at the Glasgow Science Centre and proved very effective….and quite mesmeric!
