Video and Animation

Production

From a simple piece to camera, to role play, training, or complex campaigns and dramatisations, together we’ll help you film concepts with impact. We work within sensitive clinical environments, and understand the requirements for patient consent, confidentiality, and infection control when filming clinical programmes. Most of our work is undertaken outside the studio, to bring a sense of realism and to create a dynamic that presents the viewer with a compelling series of visuals. Our production services include design for animation and motion graphics produced in-house at our studio in Glasgow Royal Infirmary.


Our standard production studio is a flexible space that can accommodate green screen arrangements, and our in-house autocue system can also be used on location. We’ll work with you to create resources that have impact and can be readily adapted for subtitling, translation or British Sign Language (BSL). Never has it been so important to understand how we engage with communities and we are proud of our work that reflects this.

Simple Recordings

So many services find themselves changing practices, and are left without an easy way to train, educate or consult. We’ve introduced a simple studio-based recording service to allow us to meet this demand. We can still offer fully supported productions but these take longer in planning. We’ll review your requirements, contact you for any clarifications and confirm what the cost will be.

How we work

Tell us what you need and how you think it might look. We’ll work to understand your requirements, and how closely you want to be involved in production. Once agreed, we’ll develop the project plan with you. In essence, we take complex ideas and interpret them, turning the problem in to a simple and clever narrative. If we don’t understand your goals, then we can’t produce what you need, so we revisit your ideas until we do, and support you in co-writing your script. Dependent on the treatment, we interpret a script visually by creating an image sequence (storyboard) that helps you ‘see’ the film before it’s made. Once the proposal has been signed off, we’ll assign a dedicated producer who’ll be your contact, overseeing the whole project. This tends to happen quickly over a short space of time, and with good reason. Everything should be planned, agreed and in place. It’s where we bring together yours and our commitment. From the outset, we need to know your deadline, and equally important, how and where the production is going to be used. Understanding release intention is key to successful promotion, and if you are unsure then we can advise on how best this can be delivered.
