Brochures are fine, but a professional video presentation on your website or sent out on a DVD can really make your product or service come alive. Make the most of the impressive broadcast quality production, 3D animations, graphics and studio facilities we can offer here at Bakermedia. The cost of duplicating promotional DVD disks is now far, far lower than an average colour brochure. Plus of course your video can be encoded for your website, uploaded to YouTube or to your Facebook wall or even to be e-mailed to prospective clients.
Bakermedia can also produce TV commercials and longer advertorials. To discuss your promotional video please contact us.
High Definition, widescreen pictures
Viewers with discerning tastes will appreciate that the video will be shot and edited in High Definition, adding enormously to the viewing experience. At Bakermedia most of our projects are now produced in HD even if the end product is SD or Standard definition, such as offered by video on the web. The pictures are discernibly sharper, there is more flexibility in editing, and also the projects are “future-proofed” for further editing. You may wish to use the video projected at a seminar, conference or at an exhibition so being shot in HD will provide the quality of sharp pictures on a large screen. Pictures taken from our video footage would be of a high enough resolution to be also used in print if required.
Why Bakermedia would be your best choice?
The key staff are former BBC TV and ITV producers, directors and technical staff. All our projects are produced to full broadcast editorial and technical standards, to ensure that our clients are presented to the viewer as professional as well. As you will appreciate, people are more media-savvy than ever before and will not tolerate substandard production standards.
However, high quality video or broadcast programmes are not created by simply throwing money at projects. At Bakermedia, we pride ourselves at putting the maximum amount of project budget on screen, therefore offering broadcast quality at affordable prices.
Recent and current projects at Bakermedia:
BVT Surface Fleet (formally BAE Systems)
We were commissioned to create a series of staff safety training induction videos aimed at workers at the Govan shipyards in Glasgow and the sister dockyards in Portsmouth. Safety is a particularly difficult subject to train as it’s human nature to assume accidents “only happen to other people”. Safety training is often ridiculed with derision or apathy by workers, so we created five chapters of training that was written with input from a leading behavioural psychologist, so the tone wasn’t “management says you should do this”, but “look, guys, we’re all in this together…how can we look after each other”
Other safety training and safety induction videos have been produced over the last 12 months for the following organisations, many in various languages:
Schlumberger, Technip, Serimax, Maersk, Tarmac, LaFarge, British Constructional Steel.
ICO – Information Commissioner’s Office
A series of videos aimed at the public and organisations that collect data to ensure rights are protected and the law is upheld. They included dramatic reconstruction selections.
As well as a conference featuring Jack Straw MP we have produced comedy sketches showing what happens when following data protection guidance goes wrong.
HM Prison Service
An induction video for new inmates filmed at Midlands prisons on the reporting and procedural systems for racial incidents and attacks. We used actors to play the parts of inmates and staff for the dramatic sequences, and interviewed staff and inmates for the case studies.
B&Q
This is a two DVD training programme we are currently part way through producing. It is aimed at bathroom department sales staff in B&Q stores nationwide. It trains basic plumbing knowledge along with how particular products are needed in certain domestic situations. We have produced this training package with excerpts from seminars filmed across the UK, 3D animations showing plumbing situations in a very clear manner, and the DVD disks have interactivity with multiple choice questions.
McDonalds Restaurants, Keystone Distribution UK
Video is extremely effective in training as borne out in the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”. We have produced five training videos for McDonald’s and we are in the middle of our sixth, all highly visual showing real production and storage techniques and processes in restaurants, warehouses and distribution centres.
The same information could have been written in a training manual for all of these projects, but using video, we have created informative and entertaining sequences that get the information across quickly and effectively to the workers, showing the exact situations they will encounter in their working lives.
Nottinghamshire County Council
A video aimed at all UK schools to show emergency procedures. This includes mocked up emergency situations designed to stimulate debate with Council staff and education authorities as a call-to-action to review and improve their own procedures.
Southern Cross Healthcare
A series of training videos showing staff how to deal with various situations (ranging from dementia care to lifting techniques) in care homes throughout the UK.
Walsall Council – “Comedy Management”
An example of a series of comedy sketches. An engaging and original way to introduce staff to a range of management techniques to facilitate discussion in training groups.
Stockport Council
Several videos to promote the Stockport area to potential investors and businesses considering relocation. The DVDs included interactive maps which revealed further information about specific geographical areas.
NHS
A series of training videos aimed at the internal ICT staff at Cheshire NHS to help them understand each other’s needs and responsibilities, and the work challenges they faced
