The Cornish Fasty // Extreme Video Production Exeter 

Trying to keep up with Jay Williams isn’t the easiest of tasks…. a single Sharp Films Videographer to keep up with all the activity.  Gawton Gravity Hub, One of the best downhill mountain bike trails in the south west, and where all the action took place.  The weather also added to the challenge, misty to start, light drizzle and then dry, great considering everything had to be shot on foot, not easy when you have to run to keep up, carrying a lot of equipment.  Filming and Editing South West

Sharp Films  // Filming & Editing South West

This action packed Sharp Film was one of our most challenging  assignments, I decided, because of the location and type of terrain, that one camera closer to the action, would add to the actual feel of the shoot.  Almost as soon as it all began I was beginning to doubt my decision, the physical effort required just keeping up with Jay was extremely demanding, but working with him was fantastic, his experience with other film crews helped as we setup positions for jumps and other complicated shots.  Overall the shoot went extremely well, although very exhausting. The kit used was kept to the minimum, a Sony A7Sii & FS5 and Movi M5 Gimbal.

Professional Video Services Exeter | Promotional Films Devon

John Gandy’s in Exeter is one of the most popular and when known bars In Exeter. Chris who Manages John Gandy’s and also The Waterfront down by the Quay got in contact about creating a promotional film for the bar to show off its updated look. The idea of the film was to show all area’s of John Gandys! It is well known for being one of the best sports bars in Exeter but people may not know that it has a fantastic cocktail bar upstairs named Spirit and also has some great bands playing there. The aim of the video was to promote all the sides to the bar and generally show the brilliant atmosphere and what makes it so unique. The shoot was broken up into two separate nights. The first part of the shoot we got a lot of the close up shots of the cocktails being created and drinks poured. On the second night of filming is where we got the most of our footage! John Gandys had a fantastic band playing on the stage and it really filled the bar and made the atmosphere incredible. Its so much easier shooting a promotional film like this when you can see that everyone is genuinely having a great time! It was a little snug at times and making sure that beer wasn’t getting thrown over the camera was at the top my head. Check out the John Gandy’s promotional film below:

Social Media + High Quality Video = Winning combination

John Gandy’s put there promotional video on its Facebook page to initially advertise the bar and its engagement and viewing figures are very impressive. It has been viewed more than 12,000 times and has lots of great comments and reactions. This is a great example of when social media and good video content works extremely well together. This winning combination is a great way to advertise your business or product and is getting more popular every day. Here at sharp films we can create you a unique video just like this and we cater to your needs. It might be a case you are looking for a shorter snappier film or a longer more informative video… either way we have the ability to turn your idea for a video into a reality!

Chloe Parka | Exeter Video Production

We have recently shot this promotional film for a fantastic little brand called Chloe Parka. They sell a really unique and special line of clothes that fit into the surf/snowboard category. They wanted a short film to showcase a range of different products for the launch of their new website. As well as this, they wanted a one minute edit so that it could be used on their social media accounts. The video was shot over a day on a stunning beach on the north coast of Cornwall. It’s one of our favourite places in the world, so this shoot was an absolute pleasure! There was quite a lot of shower dodging through out the day, as the english weather was doing its normal thing!
