vIT understands our business and how to get our messages across effectively. They just get on with it and produce engaging, fresh and relevant videos, and that's why we consider them part of our marketing team.

Location Sourcing

On occasions you may want part or all of your video shot somewhere other than your offices, your customer's site or our studio. We will discuss your requirements with you and then set about establishing a suitable location. This also entails getting permission and arranging for any permits, licensing and any special insurances that may on occasion be required. Of course vIT is fully insured to film in public, with our liability insurance covering us for £1,000,000. Keep in mind, though, that to film on the street you will usually require a licence, with parts of London being ridiculously expensive.

In the past we have arranged location shoots at a disused airfield; a national nature reserve; an international sports stadium; on the pits wall at a Grand Prix circuit, in the back of a police van and in a pub (our personal favourite, requiring a great deal of lengthy negotiation with the landlords).

One other aspect of filming in public that needs to be considered is whether members of the public are identifiable. In such cases, a release form has to be signed by the individual.

For studio based productions, vIT has facilities just ten minutes off the end of the M3 in the beautiful New Forest, with views overlooking the Isle of Wight.

The studios are well suited to shooting interviews, presentations, video blogs and stills photography, as well as for recording voiceovers and podcasts.

We have comfortable, well equipped meeting rooms for production meetings and viewings.

Oh, and a well stocked bar which opens at 5.30pm.

vIT is as comfortable filming on location as we are in the studio, whether it's at your offices, your customer's or anywhere else.

That goes for overseas as well as UK-based productions. We're able to send a small crew (usually no more than two people) and equipment anywhere in the world without the need for local hire or expensive shipping costs. Years of 'indie' filming experience has taught us how to keep costs down when shooting overseas without compromising the quality of the production.

To date, we've produced films all over the UK and Europe, the USA, Africa and Latin America.
