FILM & TV SERVICES

Cyclops - creature mask of latex rubber and acrylic, built over face cast

Based on 16 years experience in producing every type of model for the visual media, we can rapidly produce all types of models, replicas, breakables, props, set models, creatures and visual effects for art directors and producers.

We also have available a 2500ft2 filming space at Static. Available for commercials, effects sequences, model shoots and the like, this useful space has already found use many times in the recording of music promos..

With the future development of our integral filming unit, we will make our facilities and services available to outside producers, directors and art directors, supplying a wide range of creative services for outside productions.

FILMING AND 2nd UNIT

Building on previous experience we can do more than just make models and props. We can even produce filmed sequences for product shots and animation. This service would include all aspects of the production including set design/build, lighting, props/models/puppets etc, filming in digi-formats or film (16mm, S16mm & 35mm)

ANIMATION CAMERA SUPPORT

During late 2006 and early 2007 we will be completing our own 5-axis, fully step controllable suspended animation camera system. This unit will give full movement in a 2 x 2 x 1.5 metre area (not including any boom attachment) for X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch and roll. Cameras supported on this system can weigh up to 5kg and can be controlled/monitored remotely via computer. This system is being developed initially for The Magicscope and is intended to leave the working area as clear of equipment as possible. Such a system can be used for product shots as well as animation.

AND.... on a completely different but very stable filming front....

2007 should also see yet another aspect of our film / tv services with the introduction of an operator/equipment hire service for Steadicam. This motion stabilising camera support system will be for use in O.B filming, video work and with film cameras up to 7kg
