Hyde Tech- That Was My School!

We have recently done quite a big film for a school in Tameside. The aim of the project was to make current pupils, with focus on year 10's, aware of the impact school could have on the rest of their lives.

This was done by tracking down past pupils and getting some current students to interview them, as well as film the interview too.

The film is 16 minutes long and is designed to work as short 2 minute clips. One clip is here, where they met a past pupil from the school called Justin Moorhouse, who is now a radio DJ and comedian.

ELP Enterprise Toolkit Launch

This was a short film created for Tameside Business Family, who are one of the partners in the Enterprise Learning Partnership. This is the launch of a toolkit designed with young people in mind, to build up their interest in becoming entrepreneurs.

The video features pupils from Fairfield High School and Droylsden Academy, along with guest speak Claire Young, better known as 'The Rottweiller' in last years series of The Apprentice.

Nursing Films

We specialise in films covering several areas, including building companies, leisure services, local government, and schools. A new area for us recently though has been nursing care.

A film we have completed for the Queens Nursing Institute explains the roles of QNI members who work with homeless clients. A film was required to explain the 'Homeless Health Initiative' which the QNI operates, to give support to nurses in this field. The film we did for them can be viewed here at the QNI website.

And we have also done a series of three short films for Netley Partnerships, who own care homes in Leyland and Stockport. Each film required to focus on the special care that Netley offer at each location. Here are links to the three films- Hazel House, Lea House, and Willow Bank.

We are proud of these films. As well as fulfilling the original briefs set out, we felt filming in all of the situations and meeting the staff and residents (or patients in the QNI film) was a privilege to have such open access.

Vince Cable visits Stockport

The new business secretary Vince Cable visited Stockport last Thursday afternoon. It was a visit at very short notice, so the film was also at the last minute too. We filmed on Thursday afternoon, and the edit was done and sent online to the client by 12.30pm on Friday. See the film live at the Stockport Council website here- http://www.stockport.gov.uk/

LGF Campaign Film with Sir Ian McKellan and Antony Cotton

Last month we were invited to help the LGF (Lesbian and Gay Foundation) in Manchester with a new campaign film, which we were delighted to do. It features Sir Ian McKellan and Antony Cotton (who plays Sean Tully in Coronation Street), and its aim is to convey the message that homophobia still exists and has a negative effect on many people.

The film can be seen below, or on the LGF website here.
