A New Year update

Happy 2011 from Flashlight Films! With the new year comes our first update in many months. But with good reason, we have had a tremendously busy time of late with a wide variety of projects on the go.

Matthew on setOver the past couple of months we have completed several projects including; a presentation for Northumberland National Park, a social corporate event for Nandos staff and two short films for Northumberland County Youth Service. Where we worked with young people to produce films based on ideas that they had put together. This was part of a county wide project managed by Engage Media.

The festive season also brought a repeat visit to Broomley First School for their Christmas performance, where we captured the evening and produced a DVD for parents to enjoy.

Music video shoot day 2But the big news of late is the completetion of a new music video for an up and coming North East band. The video is expected to go live in the next couple of days, so make sure you check back to see it in its full HD glory. But in the mean time here is a little hint to who the video is for, Legendary rock icon and Radio 6 music presenter Tom Robinson picked them out as one of the bands to watch for in 2011, stating they "blew him away" and proclaiming them to be "world class!"

We look forward to what should be a promising and exciting year.

Completion of Induction Day video for Haydon Bridge High School

We have just completed and delivered our first piece of work for Haydon Bridge High School. The filming took place in the middle of July 2010 and is about the induction day for new students. The film documents the day and is also filled with views and comments from the young people themselves who were present for that day. The film will have a range of purposes, not least, as a preparation for potential new students in the future whilst they are still in their old schools before their transition to High School.

This work is part of a longer term project which will track the careers of a small group of young people as they pass through Haydon Bridge High School.

Flashlight Films at "Summer Net Together"Summer Net Together

Flashlight films has recently joined Codeworks Connect an organisation aimed at businesses in the digital and creative market sector offering a full range of support services to its members.

We attended the annual "Summer Net Together" in Saltwell Park on the 24th June, which naturally had a World CupSummer Net Togethertheme. We put our names forward for the football competition only for Ian to tear a calf muscle immediately after kick off. Matthew, however, got stuck in and reached the final of the event.

After that there was a wide range of other activities, a band playing in the marquee all night and plenty of opportunities to network. It was a great venue, with great weather and, despite a very sore calf muscle, a great event.
