With our production partners 9Lazy9 we have been facilitating a virtual press conference for legendary speaker manufacturer Bowers and Wilkins. It was an interesting challenge. The requirements
Just as lockdown began we were in the process of finishing work on a fun project for Philips. The video, which was originally to be shown at Design Week 2020 in Milan, talks about the four key principles by which Philips work when creating designs.

As part of a recent project for one of our clients, we were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the London 2012 Olympic Park in East London. This was all in the company of the legendary Lord Coe and a who’s who of sporting heros. We’re no experts but it looks to us

POV have been contracted to shoot and film two YouTube virals for corporate training firm THM. The first one, entitled ‘It isn’t Rocket Science’ was filmed last week and contains footage of the firm in action at one of their hands-on management training sessions along with actual NASA Apollo footage as well as the launching
If you want really positive and imaginative solutions to the whole spectrum of video problems then this is the company for you. I’ve worked with Leigh at POV many times now and always found him to be a highly professional and creative operator and a darn nice chap too.
