We are a UK based independant media production company that specialises in promotional films and sports events.
We operate an 'all-digital' policy to ensure the quality and flexibility of our products.

We produce DVDs  ,web media (Quicktime MPEG4  , Real Media ), kiosk media  and 2.5/3G mobile phone media   from digital content which we usually film ourselves (DVCAM & miniDV). We can directly convert or arrange format conversion from Hi8, VHS, SVHS, Beta and film sources.

We tend to focus on Sports filming - Surfing, Windsurfing, skateboarding etc and use helmet cams, underwater cams, radio controlled car cams. But we also produce Promotional films for businesses and cover live music and events.

  We have digital sound mixing facilities and can create custom music soundtracks for your media or use sources from our production music library or from unsigned bands who want the exposure.

  We are also licensed to create Dolby Digital ™ Audio tracks and use Dolby ™ trailers and logos for our DVD productions.

We offer very competitive prices for all aspects of our work - full production services or just short-run DVD duplication.
