Commissioning a short film might cost less than you think...

A picture might say a thousand words, but moving pictures… well they can say a whole lot more!

And our clients certainly seem to agree, with more and more using short films and online video to showcase their products and services. It gives them the opportunity to show what they know, highlight the expertise of their staff and generally underline what sets them apart from their rivals.

But films are an expensive luxury aren’t they? Something reserved for bigger companies? Not necessarily...

FROM TV TO ONLINE STREAMING

At STORM we know how to make your budget work for you. We know how to help you get more for your money and we know how to create campaigns – in print, online and on film – that get results.

In terms of film, we have extensive experience in a wide variety of media – from TV commercials and short films, through to online streaming. We know the ins and outs of the industry and we can work with you to get a finished project that gets you noticed.

We will work with you from the earliest stages and can provide full support throughout the entire process. We can storyboard the film, write a script, undertake casting sessions, secure locations and create a shooting schedule… in fact we can plan, manage and oversee every aspect of the project.

QUALITY IS NEVER COMPROMISED

And, when it comes to the filming itself, our professional crews certainly know their stuff. We can provide cameramen, sound technicians, runners and even directors to every shoot, as required – as well as photographers and copywriters to help record the process for use in other media, such as websites, brochures or company newsletters.

But, as always, we’ll never overcomplicate issues or add unnecessary costs to a job. We are proud of the amazing results we can get with even the smallest of film crews.

We know how to squeeze as much as possible into a day’s filming, whilst also ensuring that quality is never compromised in the process.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Of course, it doesn’t end with the filming. We are also able to edit the rushes from the shoot and work with you to finalise the content you want to include in your film. Then we head to post-production, where we can add visual and sound effects, as well as music, helping to put the finishing touches to your film.

It is this attention to detail that sets us apart. We don’t rush the job to give you something that looks under par. We take the time to get the look and feel of your film just right.

But this whole process doesn’t have to take ages. In fact, turnaround can be really swift – especially if you want to stream the video online.

WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE

A great example of our work in the field of ‘online streaming’ is in the Project Archive on this website – Tessera – which shows just what we can achieve within a budget and under a tight deadline.

In fact, we even filmed, edited and uploaded a whole series of videos onto a website for the Arts Council before the event we were filming – Connecting Worlds – had even finished!

Filming and online video have moved on from the days when it was considered a luxury. It’s now easier and quicker to get great looking results and, with more and more businesses turning to film to get their business noticed, isn’t it time you thought about it too?
