Over the past eleven years we've produced hundreds of job-winning showreels. As well as working with newcomers we also edit and update the reels of professional presenters and media faces who trust our opinion, experience and expertise. We can work with existing footage or prepare, film and edit new material. Not to be confused with inferior services, our in-house, state of the art digital edit suite represents an investment of over £100,000 and this, coupled with our multi-camera portable production unit, ensures that technically - as well as creatively - your showreel will stand out from the crowd...

showreel production

Whether you're a talented newcomer looking for an effective showcase of your talents, or an existing presenter seeking an updated image, we'll turn your ideas into reality.

Our attitude from start to finish is staying sharply focussed on the desired result - producing exactly the right showcase for your target audience to help you get the job you're looking for.

We can handle as much or as little as you like. From concept through to scripting, location research, interviewee procurement, production, filming, editing and duplication.

And, if you're looking for something extra special we have our own portable production unit allowing us to set up a broadcast-quality "studio" just about anywhere, with the ability to switch up to eight cameras live, create 3D virtual sets, utilise chromakey special effects and produce your very own "mini-programme".

But technical competence isn't enough. The most important feature of a showreel is you - and this is where we really come into our own.

That's because you'll receive constant coaching from our team - acknowledged as the best in the business - resulting in a reel that leaves you and your personality as the star.

showreel editing

Give us your mish-mash of material and we'll transform it into a slick, professional sales tool giving you the best possible chance - with the footage available - of standing out from the crowd and getting that audition or job.

Tap into our expertise - with eleven years experience as the UK's largest and most successful trainers of television presenters, we know what works and, when the job's available and your talent's up to it, our showreels consistently result in auditions.

We can accept your footage on most formats and an edited reel from us typically includes the use of unique graphics and transitions, titles, special effects, music where appropriate, colour and sound correction etc.

And we can output your showreel to tape, CD or a streaming media format - or a combination of all three.

our portable production unit

For most showreel productions, a typical single-camera set-up and crew - complete with professional lighting, sound etc. - is the most cost effective way to shoot your material, with the "bells and whistles" being added during the edit.

However, for those situations that demand it we also have our own in-house portable production unit for the live recording of events, programmes etc. For those who are interested, our kit and capabilities include the following:

  • Digital Component Production Switcher - with the ability to switch up to 8 inputs (e.g. cameras) live and record to two outputs, or hard disk. The inputs can be configured to accept composite and Y/C, component (YUV and RGB) and SDI signals. Independent colour correctors on each input. Automated operation is possible via visual timelines
  • 2D and 3D DVE (Digital Video Effects)
  • Virtual Sets - creating realistic artificial environments with real-time environmental reflections and refractions, supporting mulitple live cameras
  • Portable Chromakey System
  • Digital Disk Recorder and Player
  • Live On-Air Character Generator
  • Dual Channel D1 Still Store
  • Automated 8x2 Digital Audio Mixer
  • Selection of cameras
  • Selection of radio and wired microphones
  • Portable Lighting Kit - with independent lighting controller

And, for more ambitious projects, we can always hire in any additional or specialist kit needed.
