A demo cut of a video produced for a Swiss Paragliding Course from Yomps, the adventure travel company. The demo cut is being used in order to commission further adventure travel video productions from Pixelblock.

See it in action on the Yomps Swiss Paragliding course webpage http://www.yomps.co.uk/trip-search/trips/12415/swiss-paragliding-pilots-course

This was also great fun to shoot, perhaps rivaling the Cotic shoot at times.. I’ll let you decide ;)

All shot on Panasonic’s new Lumix TZ7, which supports AVCDLite, a new type of video compressor that allows HD to be compressed super small without too much quality loss. This format is a total dream to work with in Final Cut Pro!

Colour grading and shot stablisation took place on Apple Colour and Final Cut, and title designs with AfterEffects. Anyway, enough technical grab, sit down and enjoy the video; you’ll be booking next year’s course before the week’s out! See the Yomps website for more details.

Thanks to Hope and Social, published by Sunshine HQ, for the use of ‘Red Red Rose’.

While in Switzerland on a paragliding trip, I was approached by Singlespeed Rider Robbie Rickman and together we shot and produced this video for Cotic.

Editing and post-production took place on a comfy couch by the fireside, courtesy of the boys at Verbier Summits!

Probably the most we’ve ever had on a shoot… Bring on more!!

A perfect example of how a mixture of 3D animation and motion graphics can demonstrate a sequence of events, in this case an electrical system that recovers computers systems from power or data failure. Commissioned by the creative guys at the multimedia agency Drum Studios.
