LevelK on-line screening room

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

dogs1Danish film and television distributors LevelK approached us to create an online screening room to be embedded into their website.
They wanted to make their catalogue of feature films, TV series, animations, documentaries and short films available for viewing and evaluation by TV buyers globally.  The on-line screening room eliminates the need to send out DVD screeners and promotional material.  It also has a content management system that allows LevelK to upload a synopsis and stills as well as the content and features a reporting system that allows LevelK to monitor what content is being watched by whom.

Aston Martin – DVD Authoring

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

AstonMartin_350x171This month we produced the new Dealer Showroom Loop for Aston Martin in conjunction with Ambrook Productions Ltd.

Ambrook produce commercials and launch films for the car industry and have worked with us in the past in our previous incarnation of 24-7DVD.

They wanted a finished product that was clean and stylish. So the moment their selection and editing was complete we went into action and authored their DVD taking care to ensure that in the transfer from tape to disc we retained all of the fluidity and edge of the films they had produced and almagamated.

In keeping with a luxurious product Ambrook opted for a classic packaging option choosing a Super Jewel Box casing and a screen printed disc to emphasise the Aston Martin’s clean lines and sleek finish.

We had an incredibly tight deadline for turnaround but we made it to the finish with seconds to spare!

Knowsley Safari Park – Interactive CD

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Knowsley_202x113_BlogInteraction via the in-car CD player is an ingenious way of enhancing the visitor experience at Knowsley Safari Park in Cheshire.

The CD features an introduction to the park and eight separate guides to the animals in the park that can be played as you drive through the enclosures.

We replicated the CDs, which are given away as part of the entrance fee to the park.

As well as a pride of 20 lions and 10 rhinos the park is home to a troop of baboons who are stars of YouTube and are regulars on Twitter!!
