After completing my first week at Reel Film I wanted to reflect on some of the work I’ve seen and done with the company as well as with clients so far.

At Reel Film we believe that video can be used for anything and everything from promotional to communications, events to safety and training to education that possibilities are endless.

You probably hear a lot that drones are unsafe, that people consistently abuse the system or maybe the whole thing just goes over your head? When flying drones commercially, we have to follow all the protocols and we bring in our friends at Lunar Aerial Imaging to assist and fly the things, for a number of reasons…

I’ve been in many company reception areas. They tend to be a mixture of chrome, fabric, sometimes clinical, sometimes personal but nonetheless always a reception area. There are sometimes TV screens showing the latest corporate presentation or case study.

Some days have been long, busy and exciting, darting all over the place from location to location, up and down the country. While some days have been quite local and calm, giving me enough time to stroll round Harrogate's Valley Gardens and enjoying the nature.

​You’ll have heard that video provides a great way to describe a company, explain a product or build an engaged audience externally – but what does it do for internal communications?

Adam, our MD, signed up with the organisers and will be jumping on 9th July with other local Harrogate businesses. The target is £750 to go the hospice and you can support the cause here.

I’m a big believer that the quality of your companies marketing effects that of your business. Whether in a face-to-face meeting, your website, company logo, company photos, website copy or signage it all builds up a picture of your company in your potential or existing customers minds. Video is no different.

Filming isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, in fact, going on camera at all detests some people, but for some videos it is the right things to do and needs to be done to market your business effectively through video. With that in mind we have done the noble thing and put a blog together around what we find is the best way to put you at ease before a shoot…

Every year we love supporting the Aspire-igen group with their Aspire2Work programme. For the third year running we supported this great event by creating two videos and sponsoring the occasion.

Here at Reel Film we have worked with many vets practices around the UK such as Vet Hospital, Vet Dentist, Vets Now and White Cross Vets. Working with animals most certainly presents a challenge... what do they say... never work with children and animals?

One thing we love about our jobs is that everyday is different. Video is so versatile in the way we can piece content together to evoke the right message to the correct audience across the right platform. Over the last few years we’ve come up with our own original unique ideas, as well as our clients coming to us with them.
