How to get around Pressure sales We had a phone call a few days ago from a lady who was very upset, she’d been sold an aerial photograph of her home. The gentleman had knocked her door and had been trying to sell it to her and didn’t leave until he had made the sale. She didn’t want the photo, she just wanted the gentleman to leave her alone. She ended up paying him £60 for something she didn’t need or want, before searching aerial photographers and contacting ourselves. We DON’T sell like this we have our own online shop for you to look at, there will never be a knock at the door from us. Have you ever felt pressured into buying something you didn’t really want? Salespeople use a range of tactics to persuade you to part with your cash. However, you don’t have to give in to their sales pitch if you don’t want the item or need more time to think about the offer then just tell them this. Things to listen out for to know its pressure sales: ‘Our product is the real deal’ To get you to buy from them, salespeople will tell you why their product is better than others. They may show you data or statistics to back their claim. Don’t take only their word for it, no matter how convincing their argument sounds. Do your own research. ‘This is a one-time offer only’ You may be told that the offer is for ‘today only’ or that there are only a limited number of items available, and if you don’t pay now...

Promotional film for Rougemont School. This is a short promotional film that we produced for Rougemont School in Newport, South Wales. It is what’s referred to as an ‘Interview based’ promotional film. We were asked to interview key staff members and pupils at the school and they told us in their own words what they thought the strengths of the school were. These unscripted snippets of dialog make the film feel natural and flowing and the viewer feels more empathy with the staff that they would on a ‘presenter based’ film. Rougemont School – The school for life The school goes from nursery all the way to sixth form so children can learn and grow with the same group of friends. There are so many facilities for your children at Rougemont so they can learn and grow their skills and learn life skills such as cooking and cookery skills. They also offer the Rougemont Rangers for the children to learn about how grow fruit and veg and healthy eating alongside with their echo club. This promotional film showcases this and what the pupils and teachers think about Rougemont school. If you would like to speak to us about creating a promotional film for your company or organisation, feel free to get in touch for an informal...

There was some excitement on the park today as Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to Mamhilad Business Park. In fact the the very next office to ours the Mental Health Charity MIST. Kate first visited Torfaen, where she was greeted by Mayor Veronica Crick.

It was such a pleasure to work with this guy as part of the BBC’s Amazing Humans series. With his tattoos, leather jacket and goatee, Ric is in many ways the image of a classic biker. However, several times a week he does something amazing – he sings to dementia patients at a local centre, encouraging them to sing and dance along and evoking magical memories of their...

This week we have mostly been filming Cow Robots. Yes you ready that correctly, although you probably have conjured up a different image than you were supposed to. A company called DeLaval asked us to create some promotional films for them that would showcase their VMS system, basically robots that milk cows. We spent the whole week travelling up and down the country visiting farmers that have installed the system as well as visiting farms that use DeLaval’s parlour milking system. This is the resulting film. It’s what we call an ‘Interview’ based film where the main narrative of the film is taken from the dialog we captured talking to real customers of DeLaval. We used these interviews and a combination of ground and aerial filming to create a promotional film that would be displayed on DeLaval’s stand in an exhibition at the NEC. If you would like to talk to us about creating a promotional video for your company or product, please get in touch and we can talk about the various...

We were asked to create a promotional film a few weeks ago for the the National Museum of Wales. They were holding an event by the Welsh National Opera in the museum and we were asked to create a short film showcasing the day. We covered the event with multiple cameras and created an interview based film that will be posed shortly. For the opening sequence of the film I suggested that we try and get come aerial filming done of the museum as this always gives the promo film that added production value. After liaising with Cardiff Council’s film unit they suggested that the best place to fly from that will allow us to adhere to the minimum distance rules would be the grounds of Cardiff Castle and Bute Park. We got to the Castle at sunrise so that it was still closed to the public and managed to grab some fantastic shots for the promotional film. While we were there we took the opportunity to grab some aerial photographs of the Cardiff and the castle. Here are some of the...
