On a crisp December day last year I found myself trying to keep warm in the middle of an airfield in Bicester, waiting for a specially designed mechanical man to walk in front of a car. It was one of the more random moments of my career watching an army of 4 technicians punching information into a computer
Congratulations to our friends at Haymarket who recently won Digital Commercial Partnership Of The Year at the PPA Digital awards this year. We produced a little video starring the wonderful Nicola Hume following her on a typical day as an O2 user with the One Plus handset. The video was part of a larger campaign Haymarket
We’re proud to say our work is currently being displayed on 200 HDR Philips TVs in Berlin at the trade electronics show IFA. The project is one we shot back in November where we set out to capture the northern lights in Northern Norway. The result of months of tweaking and grading in the HDR
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.

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
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.
