We are video journalists.

We know video, we know news, we know the web and technology. We know the importance of
new skills and how to present new ideas and information.

We’re portable, we’re flexible, we love to travel, get our hands dirty, work to what our clients
want but at the same time offer advice if requested to ensure the final product is actually
picked up and used. We can help de-mystify a world which is accessible to far more organisations and people than most probably realised.
