services
From research through to post-production, we consult closely with our clients at each stage of the production process, in order to provide a tailor-made and cost-effective solution to their needs. Our team-centred approach gives us the flexibility to manage multiple concurrent projects, across Europe and beyond.
RESEARCH
We find stories, information and contributors for all media platforms. Whether it is an interview for a science documentary, or a magazine piece on the latest celebrity gossip, our experience in handling a wide variety of briefs allows us to provide in-depth and accurate research on any topic.
CREW
We provide full crewing services including production managers, directors, camera/sound technicians and stills photographers. All our coordinators are fully bilingual (Jap/Eng).
Filming services
When Japanese clients are unable to travel to Europe with their own crew, we can film on their behalf and deliver rushes by FTP for same or next day download in Japan. During the Covid crisis we have regularly recorded interviews remotely from our London offices, using Zoom and Skype.
LOCATIONS
From English manor houses to the deserts of Africa, we use our extensive experience, and close ties with established location companies, to find the perfect location for any project.
Costumes & Props
Whether it’s a period musical instrument, an old newspaper, an 18th Century dress or a police patrol car, we can source hard-to-find props and a wide range of costumes.
CASTING
We understand the importance of finding the right “look” and offer fast, accurate casting for every budget.
EQUIPMENT
In addition to our in-house facilities, we can supply an extensive range of camera equipment from broadcast hire companies in the U.K and Europe.
SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT
As well as working with our co-producers to add content to their scripts, we can call on the creative vision of our freelance directors to develop original ideas and screenplays based on our clients’ needs.
ARCHIVE
We source material from hundreds of photograph and video archives across Europe. Due to our long-standing connections we can offer preferential rates with many archives, including BBC/Getty.
POST PRODUCTION
We work with the best post-production facilities and technicians in London. For those working on a tight time-frame, rushes can be uploaded by FTP and made accessible within hours anywhere in the world. Satellite playout facilities and full editing services are also available.
MARKET RESEARCH
We provide small scale market research for Japanese clients who wish to gain an insight into market trends or companies operating in the UK and Europe. We can help design surveys, conduct face-to-face interviews, and compile information from online sources.
