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
On Tuesday, we were in the exclusive Savoy hotel in London providing on site editing facilities for a major supermarket’s Autumn clothing range. There was an added bonus for us as the fashion show was opened by an intimate performance by music legend Paloma Faith which we were fortunate enough to be able to enjoy.
Last week we had another crazy shoot for one of our favourite clients, the Goodwood Road and Racing club. In one day we got to film at the world famous Goodwood race circuit, the Goodwood hill climb and if that wasn’t enough, at a disused airfield. We had the usual array of on-car cameras, cranes
Last weekend we were lucky enough to be working at Wembley Stadium with our friends at Buffalo Turn producing content for the Capital Summertime party 2013. POV’s Leigh Emmerson was pushing the buttons on a live mix for the back stage celebrity interviews featuring the likes of Robbie Williams, Ed Sheeran and Oli Murs. He
Yesterday we found ourselves at the exclusive Haymarket hotel in London’s west end post producing on site a swimwear fashion show for one of the UK’s biggest retailers. POV provided on site editing during the event and turned around a 2 and a half minute edit within an hour of the show finishing. This clip
Amazing as it might seem it’s actually been ten whole years this week since Persistence of Vision Productions Limited first started trading. We don’t know where the time has gone but would like to thank everyone who has helped make us a success. Particularly our loyal clients some of whom we have been working with
During the recent snow we set up our DSRL rig to take some time-lapse photography. This 60 second video was filmed over a period of 11 days.
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. If you work with him, like me, you will not hesitate to recommend him.
