Our documentary commission for Sure Start has now been completed. The finished work has been uploaded in to the portfolio section of the sight. This video was produced following a very specific brief from the client.

Melanie Davis, Concultant Children's Centre Manager for Sure Start had this to say about the finished film, "The end result was great and flowed together well. Having watched it again at home I could fully appreciate how you managed to get a verbal link between each section. It was great to see it again and appreciate not just the technical quality of the filming but the skill of the editing process. We gave you a tight timetable to get it done and you certainly delivered. We will be distributing it to partner and other organisations over the next week or so (once we have recovered from financial year-end which is always hectic) and will be showing it wherever possible over the next few months."

This was a fantastic project to be involved in. We met some wonderful people and wish everyone at Sure Start and all the families we met all the best for the future.
