A. Fresh. New. Look // Creative 4K Video Production Devon

Over the last few months we’ve been working on updating the look for the Sharp Films brand. Its always been really important for our branding to match up to our work. We wanted to create a new bold, unique and easy to read logo that says exactly what It does on the tin. The website has had some updates over the last few weeks as well; all of the updated branding and photos being added onto the website so everything matches up. Like our logo, we want our website to be a platform to show you what Sharp Films is really about! With our new look website you are instantly hit with visuals that give you a really good indication of our style and creative flair.

Promotional Video Production Exeter | 4K Video Production Devon

On the Waterfront is a fantastic restaurant that is based on the picturesque part of Exeter, the “Quay”.  We were approached by Chris who manages the restaurant and he wanted us to create a unique and engaging video that showed off what makes On The Waterfront stand out from the rest. We were blessed with fantastic weather for the shoot.The Quay and On The Waterfront restaurant naturally has a great fantastic atmosphere so it was easy to capture lots of happy faces. The restaurant is known for its legendary pizza’s so it was important to capture these being made and consumed… of course we had to try a slice, or two! Check out the Waterfront promotional film below:      

A Happy Customer | Sharp Films Exeter

Its always great to hear from a happy customer, here are a few words from general manager Chris Billing :

“Chris was a professional from the start to the end of the process. It was great to bounce ideas off each other while receiving some brilliant recommendations. During the video shoots Chris was really discrete. His director skills also came through. We were very picky, but Chris managed to give us a better end product than we were expecting. Thank you and look forward to using you on our next project“

Filming Services Devon

Whoosh Group is a business based in Stratford Upon Avon that specialises in paint protection film for cars. This clear and very clever self healing film protects your car from paint damage on high impact area’s! Whoosh Group have a range or products you can buy so that you can apply the film at home yourself. We were approached by Jake who run’s Whoosh Group at the start of January as he wanted some video’s to promote his services and products. We talked Jake through the best ways to market Whoosh through video. After an initial meeting we planned to do a promotional film for social media to promote the product and service. Another very important part Jake wanted to be captured was how to fit the films yourself. The joys of Whoosh Group is that the films come in template’s fit for your cars, so it is easily applied at home. On the day of shooting we had a stunning Mercedes SLS AMG to use as a prop…. this certainly made the day even more interesting! We are currently in the stages of editing the films together for Jake but he is already very happy with the results he has seen from the camera. Small social media films like this are a great way to advertise your business and they don’t need to cost the world! Check out blog post here on the process we go through from taking your idea to bring it alive in the edit.

A few words from Jake:

“I approached Sharp Films in early 2017 about creating a promotional film and number of how to films for my car protection film business “Whoosh Group”. I was instantly impressed with Chris’s enthusiasm for the project and came up with some great idea’s on the spot. On the two filming days I was impressed with how much Chris captured an how he made sure all the shots were up to his high standard. He kept to my brief and brought many good idea’s to this project. Chris is a very likeable guy and was a real pleasure to work with. I will be working with him more in 2017 to increase brand awareness here at Whoosh Films… Great service!!!”

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.

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!

Video Production Devon

I wanted to create a very simple explanation of how the process works start to finish to create a promotional film. This process is pretty much the same for every project that is taken on; obviously the size of the project will determine how long it takes to do each stage from planning through to completion. One of the biggest and most important aims of Sharp Films is for the client to have trust in us. When a new project is starting I go through this simple process so that you know exactly what happens and when.

Plan it

I will come and meet with you or talk on the phone about your project idea or brief. This is also a time for me to understand more about your business or product. This is important so that I can make any recommendations to how the film could work. Often I am able to bounce different idea’s around that you might not of thought of and adapt the idea to be more engaging or creative. Once I understand the brief and your business I can go away and create a general plan for the shoot.

The Shoot

This is when I can get all the toys out! I shoot on some of the most up to date videography equipment available and if needed have a further production team I can bring in to assist on the shoot. Having a solid brief is always very important at this stage. Having the time to be creative is even more important tho. Often taking a step back and just shooting what works is best thing you can do ! You can capture some of those special moments or intricate details that take your film up a notch.

The Edit

The edit is my favourite part of the whole process. This is where I get to put together the creation and make the vision a reality. I use a professional and high quality edit suite powered by Apple Macs. The footage firstly gets logged in order of appearance. Then the soundtrack is added, colour is graded and then a final tighten. I then watch through to make sure I am 100% happy with the edit. The client will then be able to review the edit and I can make any further changes needed.  

Happy Days

It really is as simple as that, there is no wizardry here… Just knowing what to capture and turning it into a slick and unique edit that shows off your product or service. If you’re interested in having a promotional film shot or even your event filmed then don’t hesitate to get in touch here.
