Case Study

We've just produced a promotional video for French construction firm Vinci who are currently widening the M1 at Nottingham. The film was actually produced twice, once in English and once in French.
Shoot You regularly work within the construction sector. There are several ways in which video production is regularly used.
With each major construction project there are specific health and safety issues which are unique. We're asked to produce video which shows for example the way to 'clock in' on a construction site and the 'do's and don'ts' whilst on the site. As with any industry there are often technical developments which impact on the workings of the site and these developments need to be explained often to hundreds of people at different times. In these instances best practice is to use a video to communicate information.
Many construction projects are well...photogenic. We're often asked to produce a video which examines 'halo' projects which construction companies are involved in as part of their PR. For example 'Palmers' scaffolding spent six months inside St Pauls Cathedral providing the means for restorers to reach frescos in the Whispering Gallery. The footage we provided was regularly broadcast on the BBC. 'Halo' projects can also be technically difficult and filming the process provides an interesting and informative account of it. For example 'Schindler' has executed some of the most technically challenging elevator and escalator projects that have ever been attempted and it's documented as such on video.
Finally we're asked to collate video and still imagery to produce videos which show the heritage of the company. Many construction companies such as 'Wates' or 'SGB' have a long list of successful projects under their belts. Collating and combining stills images and video of these assignments can produce a compelling video for use in sales presentations, recruitment and training.
