Stuart Brown Productions

During the pre-production phase all location recce’s, actors/contributors, camera kit and camera crews are organised and assessed. Ensuring any location requirement is supplied, such as props. Rates, call sheets and risk assessments. Scripts are proof read and agreed with the client in advance.

Our crew would normally consist of two people and kit. All aspects of safety are adhered to and we always ensure that any contributors are made to feel at ease and we talk through the shot requirement or interview prior to filming. To ensure a greater flexibility in the edit process, we use multiple camera angles, shot sizes and camera moves, ensuring a more interesting video.

We use LED lighting which is lightweight and can run on batteries. We favour a softly lit subject and will always ensure the background is beautifully lit and appropriate for the subject matter. We can arrange for exterior lighting as well as interior. For ‘Vox Pop’ style filming we use on camera lighting.

Depending on the filming requirement, we sometimes work with sound recordists but mainly we use our own microphone. We have personal mics which are radio linked and also gun mics offering superb directional sound. As well as location recording, we also offer voice over options.

We offer expert editing facilities and professional encoding knowledge. Our editors can really make the story come to life, by using on screen graphics, interesting shot transitions, creative colour grading, all with alluring music and titles.
