It’s arrived!!

It’s taken us a while, and still has some way to go, but hopefully it’s better than the old site! Yes the new Production:av website is now live. We hope you like it. 

We’re aiming to keep it more up to date, hence the content management system, we hoping to be able to add useful information as we find it, so not only will it be a good place to keep up with where we are and what we’re doing, but also a useful resource.

The hire catalogue is still under development, so not everything we have is listed, but we will be getting in sorted soon. 

Sign up to our email updates- we’re running a competition for a prize draw for a 4GB iPod Nano, if you sign up before the 1st of March!

All the best,

Pete.

Hewitt ‘The Gathering’ Conference 2008

by

Production:av had the pleasure of providing camera and switching equipment and personnel for Hewitt’s ‘The Gathering’ conference held in Barcelona in October 2008. Hewitt are one of the leading consultancies providing support to multinational business such as John Lewis, and pulling in speakers such as Matthew Barrett, former CEO of Barclays.

The show featured a pair of screens fed with images from cameras from a Portable Production Unit (PPU), computers and VT play-ins, mixed through the Screen PROII. Content from the keynotes was captured  for editing back in England. The talks were edited down to provide DVD’s of each session, as well as packages for internet distribution by the inhouse editing team at production:av using the cutting edge Final Cut Studio package, enabling custom DVD menus and high quality compressed packages.

Working for DB Systems in turn for Mayridge, Production:av worked alongside existing contractors to seamlessly integrate into the team, liaising with Logistics and making the job a pleasure.

The First blog post

by

This is a bit odd really, as I’m writing for something that is currently still in development. I’m really excited by he prospect of our new website, as I recognise that the old one has been neglected of late, and really doesn’t show what we do very well.

I’m also excited because we’ve been out meeting other rental companies and catching up with people we haven’t seen for a while at others. Why’s that exciting? Well because we’ve been doing this for the last four years.

Personally I’ve been trying to push the quality of what we do since I started- things like running DVI Video digitally over Fibre Optic (something we first did in 2006), which others are just starting to do. Then there’s using Apple products due to the fact that 99% of the time they let you get on with what you want to do, not fight the OS to achieve things- again a competitor has just decided to start doing that.

The Barco R10+ – we were one of the first to recognise what has become a great machine, when it ticked the boxes and we sold one to Cheltenham Racecourse in 2007,  with other companies following our lead in 2008.

All in all it leaves me excited, as we’re leading the way, but also making the right decisions in terms of the kit we invest in, and then the knock on for the quality of the presentation for you as the end client.

So despite the doom and gloom 2009 promises to be an exciting and year for us. I’m certainly looking forward to the year and the challenges it brings, and making sure we meet them head on.

Speak soon,

Pete
