Recently we were tasked with capturing the northern lights or aurora borealis on film. At the moment we can’t say much more about why but the project involved a crew travelling to Northern Norway and enlisting the services of the legendary Northern Lights specialist Alister Chapman. We also got to use lot of our toys
Recently we had the opportunity to work again with our friends at Haymarket Publishing. This time it was to produce a fun video for an exclusive mobile phone. The video featured presenter Nicola Hume who takes us through her day using the One Plus 3 handset. This phone is exclusively available on the O2 network
Working with our colleagues at Autocar, POV was at the Paris Motorshow this year to make some content for car manufacturer SEAT. We were working with presenter David McCellend who fronted the videos. The videos covered subjects such as SEAT’s virtual reality press conference, their neuro configurator and of course their cars including the Ateca X-PERIENCE

So much of what we do here at POV is centred around selling a product or service and we love the challenge, but it’s really nice to work on something that doesn’t have a commercial agenda. Recently we’ve been working with the University of Surrey and Movember on a documentary to explaining the importance of
It’s nice to see even after 14 years of running a video production company we still have firsts. We were tasked with highlighting, in a fun way, the fact that the new Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 smartphone works up-side-down. And no before you say it, your phone doesn’t do that anyway. Tablets work that way
We recently completed a fun little project for Ford Motor Care entitled ‘Car-Care Fails’. The premise was to tell the stories of various motoring journalists and their car related failures. The project started by us filming talking heads in the usual video testimonial style but we then added animation to enhance the stories and to add
Once again, this year we were lucky enough to be filming at the world famous Festival of Speed for our friends at Goodwood Road and Racing. We were interviewing motoring legends such as Sir Sterling Moss and filming fantastic cars like the gorgeous new McLaren 570S and legendary 28-Litre Fiat S76 which is over 100
Working with Leigh has been a delightfully creative and productive experience. He consistently delivers over and above brief and his depth of communications knowledge, technical skills and appreciation of what the clients wants, and indeed needs, is outstanding.
