Promo Filming Services / Video Production

6K Cinematic RAW, 4K Commercial UHD, RAW Filmic HD

For filming machinery, full bands and large objects where a deep depth of field is required, we have wide angle L series professional camera lenses to achieve a deep and clear, sharp, full focus. More artistic video can, with classic shallow depth of field and creamy bokeh create a more dreamy, film look. The mood is set by the location, props and lighting.

If a more filmic look is required with gorgeous shallow depth of field and a super wide dynamic range, then the BlackMagic 6K Cinema Camera is perfect. Superb in low light, with minimal noise, this camera, along with the Canon lenses can create magic!..
Metech has moved over to Davinci Resolve for editing this 6k footage. The advantage of this huge size capture among other things is that it allows for re-framing footage, zooming in and tracking/panning. without a loss in quality. If your end project size is 4K or even HD then you can full screen very small crops from your captured footage.. Handy when cutting from full body to a head shot of someone presenting to the camera for instance.

Production Studios Promotional Video

This video has been shot by Metech in RAW, (apart from one drone shot and the supplied stills) then edited and exported.
Superb dynamic range and great quality footage is achievable using RAW. We 'test' installed Magic Lantern o/s on our 5D II, which had it's risks, but the results were amazing..

We have developed a workflow for the use of this format. See our full article here: filming Canon with Magic Lantern Firmware.

Studio / On Location Video

A second video for the talented Hip-hop artiste Mc Watnott, with his project Mic Rockers.
With the song being quite long and no other performers in the shoot, we chose a storyline visual for the first part of the video, moving on to a location for the main Rap's and song. Shot with the superb BlackMagic Design Pocket Cinema 6K camera. This huge size allows for zoom and re-scaling at lower 4k or HD resolutions, getting more quality framed shots for ya buck!

Hip-hop - Single, Video

Filmed in 6K RAW, this uplifting tune from UK's Mic Rockers 'Off Your Rocker' was shot in the Metech studio. Wattie played both parts and we stitched it all together from multiple takes to fulfill the final requirement of two characters larking about in the studio performing / battling. With the final video output at 1080 HD, this allowed for cropping into images at high resolution, giving us many more options for a variety of visuals.

Gothic Rock - Single, Video

In addition to designing and creating the packaging for a CD 6 track ep by UK band Sensorium, Metech were tasked with producing this promo video. Cian from Metech also wrote a remix, recorded and mastered here and included in the release.
This video contains performance shot in a London studio in addition to on location footage from various locations. Some of the footage was captured using the 'Magic Lantern' firmware for the Canon 5D. Also, a Panasonic GH4 and Atomos recorder were used.

Kids Presenter Showreel

Natasha came to Metech looking for an uplifting, fun showreel to show examples of her work and also get across her presenting and storytelling skills.
We compiled shots she had in her folio in addition to shooting performance to camera on a green screen here at the Metech studio. The finished video was uploaded to YouTube for her to easily share alongside web applications and audition material.

Also, galleries and banner slides have been created on the new web site showcasing the vast selection of home style products and ex-showroom furniture.

Orionair - Heaters

We recently filmed some short product promo's for our client Orionair, who are distributing their own range of industrial heaters.
In the Metech studio we had the facility to control the light and use pole and slider techniques to capture the portable space heater range. Following capture, we then went on to take selling points from the existing web content and add text to the video to complete the presentation.
