New CMS for Dream fishing holidays

Posted in Web Developments by surrectmedia on April 4, 2010

We (Surrect) created the new website design for Dream fishing holidays (formally known as Dream Breaks) has just been completed – the web site is made on our Simple Content Management System with a couple of bespoke characteristics making the web site a wealth of content and interactivity with the guest.

The web site was developed to present off the stunning videos of all the locations Dream fishing holidays has to offer – this means the viewer can see the resorts and lakes straight away along with all the relevant info, with very fast access to reserving and contact details.

Already the site has had a exceptional reaction from the directed market here is what one of the Lake Manger had to say…

Absolutely brilliant, it’s very impressive indeed. The videos and commentary are excellent – all we need to do now is to update the text! …and now even I can sort that out!  Once again – congratulations on an excellent job”

Have a look around the web site? And if you are into fishing you may even fancy a short break. Check it out now: www.dreamfishingholidays.co.uk

The Talks Music Videos

Posted in Fun Stuff, Video Production by surrectmedia on November 7, 2009

Surrect helped “The Talks” a Hull band deliver to great videos to the world of music. The first video “Picture this” – we organised and produced the complete video, it was based on the popularity of karaoke but the downside of the inervability of a bands track ending up being sung in a dark ally pub.

The video was broken down into two sections, first part was filmed at RD&D photography studio on a fantastic white backdrop – and enough space for our 6 meter boom/jip to capture some great shoots of the band playing the “Picture This” tune. This part of the video will be the karaoke part we composed the words to the song over this sequence along with making the footage appear on a TV. The second part of the video was filmed in the “Queens Head Pub” on Princes Ave in Hull, this was the setting for the karaoke sequence, showing random people singing there hits song. A select few fans and friends were invited to help and star in the making of the video – as you can see a lot of fun was had by all.

“Killer Sinner” the second of the music videos we helped them with was filmed and edited by the band themselves, we were asked to add some post-production – the flares, tweaks and colour correction – along with making sure both music videos were prepared and converted to DigiBeta for distribution to the music channels.

Alternative to Flowers? Send a Framed Gift - Gift Philosophy

We created the Gift Philosophy brand – after a switch of names (Smiles & Surprises) and a set of designs, we then created the  e-commerce store which boasts some wicked customised addition. To make the service ultra personal, you have the option to upload a photo – crop it and GP will print it at the size of the frame you have ordered, insert it and send it to the recipient…oh yeah not only that you could send the same photo and frame to more than one person, so imaging the scenario:-

Your wife has just had a new born baby boy and she is tried as hell, but she is desperate for you to let the family know its a boy and thank them for their wishes and gift…but you are short on time and need something quick! Well log on to Gift Philosophy, select one of the lovely baby frame, then upload the all important  “first photo” make sure you crop the lovely but super tired wife out off the photo (she will thank you for that!) now duplicate the frame in your cart – one for your Mum and Dad, one for her folks and a frame for that brother you never see (…unless you are buying the beer) add a personal note to each, make as personal as needed or just do them all the same – time permitted – now just make sure you add their address to each frame, hit the “make payment” button and you are done – sit back and wait for everyone to compliment you on a great surprise and a beautiful gift, all from the comfort of your sofa chair!

Elegant site with an easy to use system which lets the user quickly and effortlessly make a very bespoke gift purchase online quickly, we hope you like the site and maybe even next time you need a gift delivering – this site will be on your list!

Monaco Dance Festival

Post Production for Monaco Dance Festival video

Surrect were asked to edit 9 hours of video down to a two minute show reel to be presented as a proposal piece for the Fox Network and Len Goodman. The project encompasses brand motion build, video and music edit as well as post graphics and colour pass.

I would like to thank you and Graham for what I can only describe as a fantastic job, producing the show reel for the Monaco dance Sport Festival, given the time frame and the quality of the original you have made a quality finished product, which is to be presented to a major network TV company in the USA.
