Services
Collective Stories are videos captured by family and friends on their mobile phones and professionally edited into delightful video stories. Allows people to be included in special events when they can't be there in person (like birthdays, anniversaries and weddings during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions).
Share your passions by telling some of your favourite real life stories. Better still, choose a specific event or activity that is important to you and create a 'show and tell' video story about it - always very popular!
Family, friends and others will enjoy your stories and learn from them.
Connect with new clients by telling real stories of the people, passions and personalities behind your business. This is where good friendly client service begins and business follows.
Stories of community activities and initiatives. People sharing personal stories about their experiences and benefits to themselves and others in the community.
Special events are the best opportunities to capture personal and family stories. Don't miss any special birthday, anniversary, family reunion to create a precious video story keepsake.
It's also a perfect opportunity to create a life story video of the special person to show at the event. People love this!
Complement your written reporting with 'Visual Reporting' with a professional cinematic video - a very powerful way to spread the word about your project outcomes / research findings and make the most of all your hard work.
People will enjoy learning about the outcomes and want to share them with others!
