Potential | The Premiere | 16th April 2010
Following a huge demand for tickets, Light Films premiered their latest film Potential at Derby QUAD on Friday 16th April. Over 200 people turned up in black tie and cocktail dresses at 4.15pm for an afternoon of networking followed by the all-important screening.
Guests were greeted by Light Films production team members and paparrazi! Gravity Rides Photography andCat Plant Photography were selected to capture the event, relieving Light Films in-house photographer Ewan Mathers of his photographic duties for the night.
Leading businesses such as the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce, The Monster Business and Business on Toast supported the event. Kim Hodgson of DNCC, along with Katrina Tooth of Light Films, managed the registrations for the evening encouraging attendees to enter a prize draw for a fabulous £250 Light Films gift voucher.
The screening was opened at 5pm by Amy Marsh, Corporate & Development Manager for QUAD who then welcomed Paul Smith of Lost Boys Productions to the stage. Paul spoke highly of his working relationship with Light Films, and his passion for the creative partnership he has with Light Films in the form of Platform Film & Theatre School.
Prior to the films screening, the audience watched several commercial adverts; all produced by Light Films for companies such as Orchid IT, The Monster Business, Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce, Derby City ABC, Platform Film & Theatre School, Lost Boys Productions and Light Films Ltd themselves. A trailer for the next Light Films movie was shown, which also received fantastic feedback and interest from new and existing cast and crew.
The film was a huge success, with big producers and directors providing exceptional feedback to Tom Wadlow and Chrissa Maund. Light Films announced the winner of the £250 Gift Voucher Prize as Max Anderson of Sandler Training.
Potential will now be submitted to film festivals all over the world in the ambitious hope that industry professionals will scout talent within the cast or crew, or indeed the Film Production House itself.
Potential | Shoot Complete| Upcoming Premiere | March 2010
Local videography company Light Films Ltd will be holding a film premiere and networking event at QUAD on Friday 16th April at 4:15pm.
Having enjoyed previous premiere success in Derby with The Musician, to which over 180 people attended, director Tom Wadlow, decided to premiere Potential in Derby despite the majority of the short being shot in Wales. Having graduated from The University of Derby, Wadlow has strong links with the city and returned from a film making course at Universal studios to set up Light Films Ltd four years ago. The film also stars a lot of local Derby talent in both its cast and crew.
Executive Producer and Commercial Director Chrissa Maund revealed, We want to make the premiere a huge event. This is our first short of the decade and also our fourth birthday. We thought what better way than to invite our corporate clients to the premiere and make it a networking event as well. The combination of the two will show exactly what we do at Light Films and we are delighted to have the event supported by the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce and Inspire Business Club; two organisations with which we have very close, strong links
Potential is an ambitious 15 minute short filmed in two countries and many spectacular venues. It is about a boxer falling in love and learning how to deal with challenges within relationships.
Anyone wishing to attend the premiere should contact Chrissa Maund on chrissamaund_lightfilms.co.uk or contact QUAD directly on 01332 290606.
Let's Talk Shop Fronts With You | 3rd March 2010
If you are looking to compete and exceed in 2010, research shows you will have to do so online. To do this effectively, it's essential to satisfy the prospective customers' huge appetites for online film and video.
While print and TV advertising are on the decrease, corporate video production and marketing through webvideos are definitely on the rise.
Corporate videos are no longer just for the blue chips. They're not gimmicky and they're certainly not cheesy! Today, businesses are benefiting enormously from good videography. Not only are videos more cost effective than paper advertising, but online videos can enable businesses to track who is seeing their sales pitch, and when. Companies are enjoying greater target audiences and far better margins; and advertising research suggests that video will be the main form of brand marketing for 2010.
Companies without video content on their websites will soon find themselves struggling to get noticed, falling behind the competition. A company's website is its shop-front. Would you enter a shop with nothing in the window?
It's incredibly important that the video is done well; a badly created video has the potential to send out the wrong signals and images about the company, its service and its products; and can potentially destroy a company's hard-earned reputation.
Web-users are extremely fickle; poor quality videography will have them "X-ing off" and browsing a competitor's website. As internet bandwidth and film technology continue to get better, so too will the importance of engaging, well-crafted, incredibly well-produced video content. In most cases, it's best left to professional video production companies.
If managed correctly by the right film production company, who can boast more than just one area of videography, video is a very powerful tool in today's market.
It's essential that your business has a strategic video marketing plans in place for 2010.
