ISN'T IT A SHAME - DAN HIGGINS
WE ARE FAMILY - CARTER & CARTER
Video is an integral part of any artist's/company's promotion and identity in the digital age and we can offer several options for shooting your next product promotion, music video, live show or DVD or putting together promotional ads, lyric videos or show backdrops.
We offer a personalised service with an artist's perspective.
As artists, we know how important it is that the finished product reflects you as an artist/company and be able to achieve the desired promotional result. With this in mind, any project starts with extensive consultation with the artist to ensure that the final product is in line with what the artist has in their head and will fall within the budget available and be delivered by the deadline set. This involves not just shooting and/or editing a video, but planning how the final product is to be used after it is finished - before it is started.
When you receive the first draft of your video clip or another project it will be colour graded and edited with any special effects included so you'll know exactly how the final product will look and can make any changes accordingly (many editors send rough video clips without grading or effects which does not give the artist as good an idea of the final result).
When everyone is happy with the final result we can deliver the final product in a variety of formats to suit your immediate needs.
We also try to offer a speedy turnaround on video clips with the aim of providing the finished product within 2 weeks of shooting (this is, of course, dependent on the size of the project undertaken). There are also bonus options available like combining a video shoot with a photoshoot or doing some behind the scenes video while shooting a clip - the combinations to get the most from your budget are endless.
Please take the time to check out the samples of video clips and ads below and feel free to call or email us to discuss your next project and how we can make your vision become a reality.

TASTE OF TAMWORTH TOUR

This video is a sample of the videos Crestway Productions produces each year to promote the Taste Of Tamworth Tour. We do broadcast quality versions with voice overs, versions with music only that can be utilised in venue on internal screens and internet versions for all venues and all artists involved.
This sample has the 30 sec ad and is the one we used on Carter & Carter's digital media channels.
WORLD VISION ARTIST BLOG VIDEO
This video was put together as part of our work with World Vision Australia.
They asked us to put together a short blog video that would explain our trip to Lesotho in South Africa and how donations were helping lift people out of poverty.
Most of the footage we used was taken on the fly as we were only in the country for a very short time. We also utilised some animation to give the piece some more impact.
Short blog videos are a great way to keep your supporters informed and engaged.
WONDERFUL WORLD - LIVE SHOW VIDEO & YOUTUBE VIDEO
We put this video together for both a Youtube presence for the song and also to utilise in live shows where we had access to a large projection screen.
When used in a show it was simply run without music and we played along without a click. Click could also be incorporated to allow sync with drums but was not necessary for this video.
It also gave the song a Youtube presence at a fraction of the budget for a regular music clip
ORDINARY ANGELS - LIVE PODCAST TAPING
The taping of live podcasts or other events using multiple cameras can really give your next project a professional feel.
The video shown here is the first in a series for Merelyn Carter's Ordinary Angels podcast and was filmed in front of a live audience in Tamworth with Felicity Urquhart.
With videos on the internet becoming more and more prevalent artists need a way to highlight them - podcasts, interview, channels that offer more than just music are a fantastic way of doing just that - Talk to us about your next project.
SHINE CONCERT - BACKDROP LOOP
This looped background is used on the back screen behind performers at the Shine Concert in Tamworth each year.
Visuals like these ad so much to the professional look of your show and can be a series of static images, moving video synced to audio or click or looped video.
There are lots of different options - so talk to us about your idea.
