Wailing Banshee Corporate Video and Film Production News

Wailing Banshee has been updating and filming new material to be incorporated into the latest St John Ambulance training videos.  St John’s corporate image has undergone a recent revamp and the new brand design has been translated into moving image by our graphics department.  Parts of the old footage were re-filmed at our studio in Hampshire, UK with post-production also undertaken in-house by our new animation team ‘Banshee GFX’.  The films are due for release in January 2008.

Wailing Banshee has been commissioned to produce an educational film to promote the new Agri-Food & Bioscience Institute environmentally friendly ‘green’ centre.  The centre will be a working example of how farmers can be self sustaining and provide their own power by utilising solar energy,  biofuels, heat from the earth and decomposing grasses, wood chip and willow to produce gasses.  This high definition film will be played to visitors to the AFBI centre.

Wailing Banshee are proud to anounce that our programmes produced for Torch B2B & Knorr won the Gold Award for best sales and marketing films at the Chicago Intercom Film Festival.  INTERCOM, the International Communication Video & Interactive Media Competition, was created to recognize the extraordinary talents and creativity of the agencies at the top of the ever-evolving field of communications. INTERCOM honors exceptional work in educational, corporatesponsored, industrial, and interactive productions. You can watch one of the winning films here:  Knorr film

Wailing Banshee have produced 6 promotional films for ice cream makers Carte D’or. The deserts will appear on the Carte D’or web site in October 07. The films were shot in a photographic studio with staged kitchen and a chef was provided by Unilever. Though the films are to appear on the internet, Wailing Banshee shot the footage in High Definition to future-proof the material for future use. Post-production involved soft overlays of the recipes, blurring background areas and colour grading each film to give it a summers evening feel. See one of the films here.

It’s fun being a 3D animator especially when you’re asked to create gadgets of the future for a major processor manufacturer. ARM technology required 5 films for upcoming events to showcase their future processor capabilities.

The campaign ideas came from those who work within ARM and it was our task to bring those ideas to life. The films include a blue tooth watch that synchronizes with household appliances and your electric car recharger… oh and it tells the time too! The other films, produced using 3D software and our render farm based just outside London, include a make-up case that suggests styles, a translation camera phone for all languages, a video playing jacket and a night vision bike helmet.

Wailing Banshee has just completed a new exhibition film for IBS Open Systems, a dedicated supplier of software solutions to Local Authorities & Housing Organisations throughout the UK. We shot the film at IBS’s local offices in Newbury and incorporated 2D and 3D animated sequences to create a film with a very polished finish. The footage was shot using our latest XDCam cameras at Hi-Definition and edited on our Avid Adrenaline system. The Sony XDCam produced amazing detail even in low light conditions and is now our format of choice for film-look acquisition. Watch the IBS film.
