Sunderland has been through a genuine regeneration over the last decade, with manufacturing still a real presence alongside a growing focus on media, community and local news. As a video production company we have already worked in that mix, producing a logo animation for the city's own news title, We Are Sunderland, which meant matching a brand identity that has to work on-screen, in a feed and on a phone all at once. Corporate video for local organisations asks for the same care.
We work across Sunderland and the wider North East, filming on location at your premises or an event rather than asking you to come to a studio. We also cover Gateshead, Durham and South Shields. The studio's founder has a Royal Television Society award and a London Film & TV Award, and has covered the same annual awards night in this region for two years running. Recurring, once-a-year events are not a new problem for us, and we know what to plan for.
What we do
Corporate & brand films
A film that explains your organisation clearly, for a website, funding application or partner audience, without needing a broadcast crew's budget to look properly made.
Event coverage
Coverage of awards nights, conferences and community events, delivered as a full-length highlights film plus shorter cuts for social media and internal use across your organisation.
Logo animation & motion graphics
Animated identity work for brands and media titles, the same kind of job we did for a Sunderland news brand's on-screen and social presence, from a logo sting to explainer graphics.
Photography
Event and corporate photography, often shot alongside video on the same visit, useful for press releases, social media and internal communications once the event has finished.
Recent work
Direct Sunderland and North East work, including a logo animation for We Are Sunderland, two years covering the same annual awards night and work for Fischer's Future Heat.
How it works
- 01
Intro call
A free 20-minute call about the organisation, the event or the brief, and what the finished film needs to do.
- 02
Plan & quote
A plan, schedule and fixed quote follow. A standard film takes 1 to 3 weeks. Event coverage is usually scheduled around the date itself with edit time after.
- 03
Shoot
We film on location in Sunderland, at your premises or the event venue, working around your schedule rather than the other way round.
- 04
Edit & deliver
Edited and delivered in-house, cut for the platforms you actually need, a full highlights film, shorter social versions, or both.
Questions
Have you worked with Sunderland organisations before?
Yes, we produced the logo animation for We Are Sunderland, the city's news title, and we've covered an annual awards night in the wider region for two years running, so we know local organisations well.
Do you cover events in Sunderland?
Yes, including awards nights, conferences and community events. We plan for the fact that an annual event only happens once a year and has to be right the first time.
Can you do logo animation for an existing brand?
Yes, that's exactly the kind of job we did for a Sunderland news title, taking an existing identity and making it work as animation, on-screen, in a video feed, and on social media.
Do you also do photography?
Yes, including event and corporate photography, often on the same visit as filming so you get both stills and video without doubling the disruption to your day or your team.
What affects the price of a corporate video?
The main things are the number of shoot days, crew size, locations, the length of the edit, the formats you need, music and any drone permits. We set each of these out in a fixed quote after the free 20-minute intro call.
