Scadge TV

Images from video footage of Alton Towers firework display 5th November 2011. The display was designed by Jubilee Fireworks and ran on 3 consecutive nights. It was spectacular. We filmed from 3 positions. These stills were from a camera on a cherry picker raised over 60ft up above the shops in Tower Street, left of the main entrance.

Thinking of a Christmas event and looking for something to make it special? Top Shropshire business Pineapple Leisure sell fantastic, huge, inflatable grottos, and all the accessories you need, from inflatable reindeer to snowmen and elves and even wooden picket fence and other bits and bobs for a full authentic Christmas grotto. Not only do they sell all of this at affordable prices but hire it out at www.hireasantasgrotto.co.uk

Check out their fun inflatables in this video we did for them. The spec for the video was “fun and deliberately cheesy” – I think we achieved that.

PS the grotto is really easy to inflate and is ready to go in under 2 minutes:-

Recently we did a promotional video for top Shropshire building company TGH Builders. It was obvious that owner Tim Holloway has an attention to quality that sets his business apart. He took us to one of his recent projects in Shrewsbury that was knocking of two apartments into one big apartment and a complete refit throughout.

Rather than put together a promotional video which looked at the typical building process, or the team at work, etc we decided to cut the video together like a short, enjoyable advert TV style, with the informational bit at the end. See what you think:

A recent filming session for a business promotional video required us to use a cherry picker to get up to 20 feet in the air where we had a full view of the business team and their vehicles.

An interesting experience with no signs of vertigo, fortunately.

We’ve recently been working with Shires Fire & Safety – one of the leading businesses in the fire safety industry and a truly professional team.

They showed us around their control centre, excellent training facilities, warehouse and treated us to a few fire safety demonstrations. Impressive stuff. And all in a safe controlled environment.

We’ve also met some of the hundreds of businesses and consumers who entrust the safety of their staff and premises to Shires and heard lots of warm, glowing accolades…

We recently took a 4 person film crew to the lovely Astbury Hall golf course in Bridgnorth to cover the Lords Taverners charity golf day.

The weather was kind to us and the 25 teams of 4 golfers from businesses throughout the Midlands.

The course is privately owned by ex Judas Priest guitarist KK Downing and expertly maintained by an excellent grounds team.

Sparks fly at Aga cookers in Coalbrookdale as we film one of the furnaces being emptied.

This was part of a series of clips filmed at the site which may be used as part of a training programme but will also be used as part of an amazing production of “A Furnaceman’s Dream”, which is a new play being performed by Telford & District Light Operatic group at Enguity museum in November 2011.

UK Web Video is Scadge’s new website dedicated to online sales presentation videos. Having a high quality video on your home page is proven to keep website visitors engaged for up to 7 times longer that just text and image based sites. It can also improve conversion rates by up to 80% by giving clear information about products and services.

Recent surveys have shown that website visitors are 3 times more likely to replay an online video than click on a static image advert. And, 64% of website visitors take some action after viewing an online video. Also, the impression of people’s brand identity is improved dramatically by having video – the survey showed that 32% of respondents stated that online video helped make a brand appear more innovative, another 32% said that brands appeared more creative and 30% thought the brand was more fun.

A simple internet search will reveal many more benefits of having web video, including creating more engaging social network interactions, and providing interesting content for smartphone apps. Just take a look for yourself.

Triangle HR

Recently, Scadge helped growing Shropshire business Triangle HR to get in the picture with their own corporate promotional video.

Owner Justine Vaughan and advisor Alison Dirkin spent a couple of hours at Scadge’s studio filming a series of clips that together describe the key reasons why businesses should use Triangle HR for all their personnel related activities.
