Television Showreel

Property developer Amanda Sharkey approached Surrey Video to produce a short hard hitting showreel for her television agent. This video was shot within two hours and produced and delivered to the client the next day. The result was a snappy showreel that showcases her TV presenting skills.



Back In Time


Now and again I get some great films to transfer to DVD and this latest batch was no exception.

My father introduced me to 8mm cine film, in fact that's how I eventually became a video cameraman and editor. Transferring the film is fascinating, take the latest two below for instance:

A Day In The Life Of The Scouts 1967





A day out to see the Trooping of the Colour 1966



Working with cine film and projectors is not always easy but the results are great, film has a wonderful rich colour. In those days people had to choose their shots as the four minute film rolls were incredibly expensive, nothing like today's video which in contrast is easy to use and affordable.
