Video Production

Video Planning & Storyboarding

All our video projects start with a planning phase. Following a briefing meeting with the client, the plan is converted into a storyboard which includes an outline of the scene, the dialogue, tone of voice, the location, personnel, lighting, and any other key factors that will influence the final video. This careful planning phase and storyboard production helps the project run smoothly and enables the ‘buy in’ and approval from all parties prior to the filming and post-production stages.

Models, Styling & Props

Should you require models or actors for you video, we can cast the right people for your project. Most commercial and industrial clients prefer to use employees on their videos but often the occasion arises where more professional actors or specific types of individuals are required to create the right image within the video. We can also arrange various stylists with experience in fashion, food and make up to complete the look. We can also source and arrange the hire or purchase of various specialist props and costumes if these are required.

Video Location Services

Piranha provides a location service to identify the best location to shoot your video. We can source locations geographically for you and cross reference this with architectural style to get the perfect backdrop. The locations are both indoor and outdoor and we can provide a shortlist including photographs. We have a comprehensive list of locations available in many categories including: Urban landscapes, Domestic houses gardens and flats, Interiors, Mansions, manors & stately homes, Gatehouses and follies, Hospitals, Galleries and studios, Entertainment, food, drink & accommodation, Education & sport, Industry & commerce and Transport

Corporate Video Production

Corporate videos are still the main requirement of our clients when it comes to video production and forms the core of our video work. A typical project would be a 3-5 minute video covering the history of a company, the range of products and services, interviews with key team members and possible case studies and testimonials taken on site at their customer’s premises. We provide a start to finish solution including all planning, storyboarding, shooting, editing, graphics, voice over and music. We can also provide sub edits for use on social media, website landing pages or at exhibitions using the same core material.

Aerial & Drone Video Footage

We have partners around the UK who we work with on providing aerial and drone footage to our technical and creative specification, to support any video production work we do. Previous projects we have completed where we have incorporated aerial footage into our production includes drone footage of a series of 5 open quarries around the North West of England, external footage of buildings and internal aerial footage of large manufacturing facilities.

Animated Videos

We produce animated videos in-house, either as stand-alone animations or to support sales massages in corporate or sales videos. Animated videos are a great way to sell concepts and get a great deal of factual information over to the audience. They also work extremely well as explainer videos where a clear benefit wants to be communicated or where it is not possible (or safe) to take video footage.

Videos for Website

As attention spans become shorter and the relentless move from reading to watching continues, we are producing more and more website-based videos for our clients’ where traditional content is being replaced by video. Typically, this change in content covers case studies, testimonials, training information, health and safety, and product demonstrations. They are quick to create and can also be used for alternative marketing channels such as YouTube and social media or as links from e-mail campaigns.

Product Demonstration Videos

Most product demonstration videos we produce are for use on websites and social media platforms and are often used on e-commerce websites where the product demonstration greatly improves the on-site sales conversion. We have also successfully used demonstration videos for clients to sell spare parts where the part identification has been a barrier to an online purchase. Product demonstration videos are also useful in explaining cleaning or maintenance on more technical and industrial products.

Interviews & Talking Head Videos

Most of the videos we create will at some point utilise an interview or a talking heads sequence to reinforce specific points and to portray a high level of authority on a specific subject. It is also the easiest way to inject some humanity into a corporate video and an excellent way to share testimonials and case studies.

Event Filming

We can film your event for you or film an event you are attending and use this to create a promotion video that can be uploaded to your website, uploaded to YouTube, shared on social media or distributed to your clients. Often event filming is used to promote forthcoming similar events or to support press releases to on-line journals.

Library Footage

We have access to thousands of hours of high quality library video footage we can use to weave into any video production for our clients Often used as scene setters, these clips are royalty free and cover almost every imaginable scenario and can be used for multiple platforms and channels.

Post-production & Video Editing

All post-production and video editing is done in-house at our studio based in Preston. Our editors work closely with the creative director to ensure the highest quality finished production matches the initial storyboard and creative objectives.
