Working with Athletes in Paris again we had a challenging weekend on 16th & 17th March filming their new music video feature zombies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February 2013 ...And now for something completely different We have continued to work with Northumberland County Council with filming at several schools in Northumberland to produce some training material aimed a senior teaching staff within schools.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 Welcome to 2013 and our first music video with 'Athletes in Paris'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/12/12 A Music Video In The Spirit Of The Season As the end 2012 draws near we would like to wish everyone, friends and colleagues, an enjoyable festive season.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14/12/12 Work With Northumberland County Council We have completed a lot of work with the County this year:-
Ian with Jackie at Hexham at the launch of the DVD and the play vans in 2009. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20/09/12 So What Robot Live Session We filmed a live session for So What Robot earlier this year, it was a hot day so it must have been a while ago! Here is the video for "You Shouldn't Do It" live for Sesh1.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20/09/12 New Suite, New Software Here at Flashlight Films we have recently upgraded our edit suite and it looks amazing! This upgrade isn't just hardware (currently looking at a dual High Definition display with plans to add a third monitor) but software as well. We have joined the Adobe Creative Cloud, this means we have access to the latest versions of all Adobe products. But what does this all mean? It means we can deliver videos even faster than before as our set up is more efficient than ever, plus all our software will be the very newest version helping us create cutting edge video content. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22/07/12 Work & Play - So What Robot After what seemed a long wait this music video has finally become public. Filmed in April of this year at a number of locations it involved a lot extras who coped amazingly well particularly in the freezing conditions that we experienced around Newcastle for the outdoor shoot. Nevertheless, despite the weather, it was great fun to shoot and is even more fun to watch!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15/07/12 Working with the Corbridge Festival We were delighted to be working with and be part of the 2012 Corbridge Festival on 7th July. Despite continual rain leading up to the event, the venue not only coped with the condiitions but the was blessed with sunshine for the day. There were plenty of things going on alongside the music, which was of the highest quality. It is definitely a festival worth visiting as you will see from the video of the days events.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23/06/12 Mid summer past! It is already past midsummer and it seems to have rained non-stop, however, it has not stopped us getting out and producing a crop of new music videos. The first is the official music video for Polarsets with a song called 'Distance' from their Exotica EP. It was filmed by the band using their mobile phones whilst they were on tour.
The second, a video for Vinyl Jacket, was based around a live performance at The Sage Gateshead. It also uses other footage which they took whilst on tour. The song is their latest digital release called 'Moment'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21/05/12 Working with
We filmed a remarkable evening to celebate a new partnership between the Travel Bureau (based in Gosforth) and Kuoni. The special guest for the evening was BBC travel presenter, Simon Reeve, who talked about some of his adventures, good and bad, from the making of his recent TV travel series 'Indian Ocean with Simon Reeve'. The event was very enjoyable and we were particulalry pleased to have some time with Simon himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01/03/12 Working with Northumberland County Council 2012 has seen considerably more corporate work particularly with key organisations within Northumberland County Council. We have updated an information DVD for Surestart in West Northumberland. We changed a few sections and added an additional section about the Ponteland Children Centre, which had not been built when we produced the original DVD which was aimed at all prospective parents in the West Tynedale area.
The next films gave Ian a chance to use his depth of experience and knowledge to plan two further videos for the County Council. Firstly, a film for the 'Northumberland Adult Learning Service' to show exactly what happens at a 'Screening Day' for young people wishing to embark on an apprenticeship. This film is useful and informative for both young people and potential employers thinking about having an apprentice. The film is now publicly available on the County Councils youtube site.
Secondly, a film called “A 'Head' of our times”, involved a range of different schools and explored the different management styles currently working in Northumberland other than the traditional headship model. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01/02/12 Winter update!
Hannah is linguist, musician and good organiser who has already helped out on several shoots. Her skills as a fixer will be put to good use in arranging locations, actors and any details that need to be finalised before starting a shoot.
