Our latest project for the BFI features the pioneering series that made made wondrous worlds and natural processes visible for the first time: sweet peas unfurl in the sunlight, white owls swoop in on their prey, sea life lurks on the ocean floor and moths patiently spin their cocoons.

These films, made by enterprising men and women at the forefront of science and nature filmmaking, developed groundbreaking techniques of time-lapse, microscopic and underwater cinematography. Paving the way for the natural history programmes that we know and love today, these Secrets grant us an entertaining, absorbing, and very special glimpse into the mysteries of the natural world.

The DVD9 features 19 individual programmes as well as a fully illustrated booklet featuring newly commissioned essays by leading researchers and scholars with film notes, photographs and illustrations.

It was a beautiful project to work on and our Sarah and Anita were proud to be credited in the booklet for their hard work!  The DVDs are available for sale on the BFI website.

Who better to author the DVD of English football’s greatest moment than our German DVD author?

The disc features England’s world cup winning match against West Germany at Wembley featuring Sir Geoff Hurst’s hat trick and probably the most famous commentary in the world from Kenneth Wolstenholm.

The discs were distributed through Marks and Spencer, official tailor to the World cup team, earlier in the year.

re:fine have  produced the Chelsea FC end of season DVD  for over 30,000 season -ticket holders and fans.

The DVD charts an incredible season that saw the team winning the FA cup as well as the Premiership.  Highlights include the 8-0 success against Wigan that sealed their victory, the Victory parade through West London and the contenders for goal of the season and player of the year.

Off the pitch footage includes interviews with the players and some really funny outtakes and bloopers.

The DVD is presented in a glossy lancing pack featuring team captain John Terry.

It’s World Cup time! Celebrations, joy, chants, anguish and an ear-bleeding explosion of noise!

So, the World Cup… you probably think it’s all about the football? It’s not! We’ve created two stunning documentary DVDs for FIFA – these both explore FIFA’s intention that the World Cup in South Africa should leave a lasting legacy for the South African people, not just a pile of broken vuvuzelas, tattered flags and empty beer cans.

With commentary in four languages (French, Spanish, English and German), the documentaries show how FIFA have been involved in important, lasting projects that provide massive investment in infrastructure as well as investment in the social infrastructure, education, job creation and AIDS care & awareness.

No matter who wins and loses, South Africa will have gained a lot from this World Cup, and these DVDs show us how.

The British Museum’s newest exhibition Fra Angelico to Leonardo is billed as ‘the Greatest Collection of Italian Renaissance drawings ever assembled’.  It features works from the Uffuzi Gallery in Florence and the British Museum’s archive.

The exhibition shows how the great masters Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and Botticelli used preparatory drawing to perfect ever more naturalistic forms and perspective.

We created and manufactured the DVD which features drawings from the collection as well as interviews from scholars and art historians that reveal how this art form evolved.

The exhibition opens on the 22^nd of April and runs until 25^th July.  Tickets are available from their web site.

Ready for the Spring/Summer 10 season we authored Dorothy Perkins ‘Model Store’ DVDs.  The DVDs are a one stop information centre for store managers and retail assistants and takes them through the seasons trends and dressing techniques, store layout and strategy.

The discs contain an easy-to-follow menu system that leads shop staff through the season, ensuring each store is set up perfectly to maximize the forthcoming sales opportunities.  Staff are further engaged with competitions that test their recollection of each new trend preparing everyone for what will hopefully be a successful and sunny Spring and Summer!

We’ve seen the adverts, we’ve collected the vouchers now we’ve authored the DVD.  Sainsbury’s Active Kids is back in its fifth year, giving more young people the chance to learn new sports and develop new skills.

Active Kids has raised over £85 million so far, with £16.9 million raised last year.  Popular items include the rainbow skipping rope, tents ideal for Duke of Edinburgh awards and the ever popular wooden spoon, for the bakery and cooking classes.

The DVD will be sent to schools and groups to encourage them to participate in this worthwhile scheme and features teachers, youth leaders and even Olympic Gold medalist Dame Kelly Holmes the Appeal’s dedicated figurehead.

This month we worked with Producer/Director Jon Blair to author a DVD of his Oscar and Emmy winning film of the life and legacy of child diarist Anne Frank.

Combining personal testimony, never-before-seen photos, previously undiscovered family letters and rare archive footage (including the only known moving footage of Anne herself) this haunting film has been hailed as a masterpiece by critics and audiences alike.

By concentrating closely on the details of Anne’s brief life, rather than her famous diary, the film makes real the story of this one child and her family, and those who lived and died with her. As the Sunday Telegraph said “This haunting documentary is the most moving Holocaust film of them all”.

The film is narrated in English by Kenneth Brannagh and Glenn Close and has subtitles in German, French, Spanish, English and Dutch as well as a choice of narration languages between English and Dutch. This is the first time since its original release that the film is available as a multi-lingual DVD for international sale.
