Our Time-Slice camera array is a 2nd generation digital system. Its image quality allows the output of our array to match with anything from SD to HD and all the way up to 4K in resolution. Also because of this resolution, dynamic virtual camera moves are possible in post, allowing you to push-in to a shot by up to a factor of 4 in some cases. Additionally with our bespoke software we’re able to offer playback of takes on set within minutes, allowing your creative team to see what they’re getting ‘in the can’ almost instantly. A far cry from previous systems where it could be a number of days before you had any idea whether or not a shot had been successful due to the film needing to be processed.
 
There are an infinite number of ways to configure the rig, our three favorites are:

• Linear, which is where all the cameras track across the scene, providing a nice way of revealing elements over the duration of the shot.
• Converged linear which provides the perfect way of spanning large areas, going big on the camera move whilst fixating on certain points of action.
• Curved, this provides the greatest amount of rotation around the subject, a-la Matrix style. We tend not to shoot round more than 120 degrees of curve, as beyond this expensive rig-removal is needed in post-production. However, we’re happy to discuss all options!

We come from a diverse mix of expressive backgrounds and have over 30 years experience within motion graphic design, compositing, editing, 3D modelling & animation, photography, camera tracking, directing & visual effects. As a melting pot of expertise we take great pride in our ever evolving creative hand and cutting-edge eye, a balance which has proven to produce visually innovative results and very happy clients!
 
We have worked with brands such as Heineken, Formula 1, Canon, Britain’s Got Talent, Billy Elliott, Gavin & Stacey, The Bill, Birds Eye, The X Factor, Dancing On Ice, American Idol and Sky HD to name but a few for a variety of mediums including TV & broadcast, film, ad campaigns, online marketing and cinema commercials. Our projects are broadcast globally and our UK channel exposure is extensive.
 
Our ‘Design Boutique’ approach means we create uniquely styled solutions for every project – individual, bespoke and distinctive. Each client receives the one-on-one service they deserve & an end product that inspires.
 
We invent, we enhance & we stimulate. Your brand, your senses, your story…
