BBC, ITV, Sky
The BBC, ITV, Sky and other national and international broadcasters have been customers of Greenscreen since the company launched in 2005, but before that, our full time employer. Since the early 90s, our team has all worked individually as senior journalists, lighting cameramen, producers, technicians and presenters within the halls of the world's top broadcasters - between here, Germany, Italy - as far as Russia, Japan and Australia. In many cases, that is where they cut their teeth in news and factual programming, and in nearly all cases it is where they went on to national acclaim. Members of our team are still creating national and international output for daily broadcast and our contacts throughout the organisations continue to be extensive.
UKTV
We've worked with UKTV (the broadcaster behind channels including Dave, Yesterday and Eden) on a number of projects to raise awareness of their award winning content, as well as the issues that drive them. The first, for Eden, was a crucial part of the channel's launch in 2009. This viral film starred a polar bear and her cub on the River Thames - and was a key reason why the PR campaign won many of Europe's top PR and event awards the following year.
Police Services
Issue-based films are often the cornerstone of what clients want from us. And many of the films we create aim to paint a truer picture of the accomplishments of people behind the scenes - whether in business, education, health, consumer - or areas such as crime prevention. This film is just one example of our work with the police, in this case to show the work of one of the Police Service's crucial identification suppliers - the Viper Bureau. We filmed key points in the process of identifying and ruling out suspects using their unique software and service. Unfortunately, one of our team had to demonstrate!
LEGOLAND
Often in recent years with the growing popularity of quality online video and virals, our work has moved from the serious factual, to the fun. Throughout 2011 and into 2010 we have worked with LEGOLAND Windsor to create their online video content and B-roll for broadcast, including interviewing and music. This film, at the end of 2011, marks the very first launch promotion for their new resort hotel at the Windsor park - not content with simply talking to grown-ups about the new hotel, we decided to go straight to the most important people...
DEFRA
We work with a wide range of government departments, from The Department of Health, to The Home Office, and The Department of the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs. DEFRA have come to Greenscreen a number of times, particularly in their need to publicise and record their environmental work. We have produced various broadcast, online and conference films for DEFRA, in particular a film with the British Antarctic Survey (available on our video viewer now) which recorded a groundbreaking visit to Antarctica by the then Senior Advisor on Climate Change, Sir Howard Dalton. He was subsequently named in the Queen's Birthday Honours shortly before his tragic death in 2008. Athena Dinar from the British Antarctic Survey emailed us within minutes of watching this film go to air: 'The whole office is buzzing - we can't believe how amazing our film looks!'
G4S
One of our newest clients is a company with one of the world's farthest reaches into a range of sectors and services: G4S. We have worked since 2011 with a number of divisions - including G4S Utility Services. This film show what the company is doing to drive and accommodate the smart metering agenda - both externally, and for the team itself.
G4S Testimonial: "It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Greenscreen. From the first phone call, they were enthusiastic about our project and all through the production the team were a joy to work with. All our staff (2,500) have received the link to view it and we are getting rave reviews. Thanks Lindley and the Team."
British Red Cross
One of our most important charity film and public relations projects to date was our work with the British Red Cross in Indonesia - an area devastated by the Asian tsunami of 2004.
We were hired because of our journalism, experience and balance, to provide footage and interviews with survivors and BRC staff who'd spent the years since the disaster rebuilding lives and livelihoods in a region where up to 80% of people were killed. Our work achieved worldwide coverage, and led to our nomination for the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards. You can see a short film featuring personal accounts in the video viewer now. Leigh Danes, Head of Publicity said afterwards: 'You've done us a great service. Thanks for all your hard work and commitment in Indonesia and since your return. You've been instrumental in delivering us worldwide coverage for the work you documented. Thank you.'
Which?
We've worked closely with a range of consumer organisations since 2005, including Which? We trained their spokespeople, and also created video content for their key campaigns between 2008 and 2010. This testimonial says the rest: "Greenscreen have been instrumental in helping us to put our top spokespeople onto the national TV screen. They ran the audition process, worked with me to select the best candidates and are now working with the 'faces' of our organisation on an ongoing basis, to polish and finesse their on-screen performances. Without fail the Greenscreen team are professional, enthusiastic and engaged. They have helped us through a daunting process, and even made it enjoyable! Our spokespeople trust their judgment and feedback, as do I, and they honestly do 'go the extra mile' to provide an excellent, bespoke service." Nikki Lehel, Head of Public Relations, Which?
Pearson Fronter
Greenscreen has become a leading viral video provider for corporate launch campaigns in the UK. We've worked with Pearson Fronter repeatedly since 2008 to launch their new educational and management information software. This is a short self-authored film - simply a case study for users of their E1 MIS solution. We are also working with them in 2012 to produce two very different types of launch film - more to follow in February 2012! Pearson Fronter say: 'Working with Greenscreen made life easy. Their expertise ensured a professionally delivered product on time and on budget. I'm looking forward to working with the team again soon.' Tracey Dingwall, Marketing Manager, Pearson Fronter
NHS
One of the core areas of Greenscreen's work is in communicating and capturing the work of the NHS and its Trusts. Our client-centred approach has helped countless health professionals to reach a wider audience whether we work with clients in the UK (NHS Alliance, East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust, Tooting Hospitals and many more), or abroad (including the European Forum for Primary Care and World Health Organisation). They say about us: 'Greenscreen are a pleasure to work with and provide a first rate service. With their expert advice and guidance we achieved a high quality marketing product which says exactly what we wanted it to'. Helen O'Keefe, Associate Director of Nursing - Workforce, Education & Training, East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust.
the mole clinic
The Mole Clinic is the UK's first provider of dermascopic mole scanning technology, conceived in Australia.
We were asked to spend a year with them and patients, to produce a documentary - one of the first of its kind ever produced for a company in the UK.
Called Sue's Story (available on our video portals), it captured the treatment of a patient with melanoma for the very first time, and has been shown to Ministers and various health committees at the top levels of government.
ITN and ITV
Over the past five years, we have been instrumental in building and maintaining some of the major strands of the ITV business, having previously worked at the broadcaster as on-screen and behind the scenes. We have produced and guided hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of corporate and conference films for ITN Consulting (part of ITN Productions) - the company's conference arm. And we have created content for the ITV website - including short films such as this, for Friends Reunited. We can only show a few samples of our work with ITN Consulting on this site, but please do contact us if you would like to learn more, or talk about making a high quality film made about your organisation. We'd love to help.
IPC Media
IPC Media are the UK's leading consumer titles publisher. We have advised IPC on a number of matters since 2005 including their use of video for internal communications, and media and presentation training. Our ongoing role with IPC is to continue to work hand in hand as consultants on any issue surrounding online media and visual communication. We have coached the company's Chief Executive as well as the editorial team on Now Magazine - covering a wide range of subjects and skills that they bring to their jobs, and to the public.
Group RCI
Group RCI is the world's largest vacation ownership exchange provider. In 2009, they were leading the drive to build a new Dubai, offering a combination of business and residential property sharing and sale. This film was located completely in Dubai and has been used extensively to show how they are working with developers and clients to add value to property sales. Crucially, they have worked with the authorities to clean up the reputation of 'timeshare' by building a strong legal framework and understanding of the benefits that the concept can bring when carried out properly. And this short film has been shown to developers worldwide to demonstrate that - and other concepts - with a focus on The Middle East and The Gulf.
