It must be a sign! ... Video Production

COMMERCIAL VIDEO PRODUCTION - SLI

It’s true that we enjoy our jobs here at Infinitus Studios; Craig is always getting into mischief, building things from sticky-back plastic or generally acting the fool! Believe us though, there is a serious side to some of the work we do here and we’re always very proud to shout about it.

This last weekend, we were joined in the studio by a happy throng of folk from a company called SLI. For those who may not know them, SLI specialise in interpreter training and indeed, these people are very good with their hands. 

Video production is essential for many businesses these days as not only does it help to add a multimedia element to your work but it also helps with attracting new visitors, customers and business... Find out how below...

Behind the Scenes - Video Shoot

SLI is managed by Peter Llewellyn-Jones and Jayne Clarke and prides itself on its innovative approach to sign language teaching and interpreter training.

They work closely with educational establishments and represent Britain internationally when working with universities and institutions the world over. 

​Lead by Peter on the day, (you may know him that guy from the telly who does the sign), the team quickly got into the spirit of things and in no time at all, everyone knew everyone else and we were already filming.

More and more businesses are asking us to assist with their video production needs. Video is another medium for the passing of information and ideas and associate the branding of the business. However, what many people may not realise it that video on your website, can also assist in rankings upon many search engines, such as google. In fact, one of the most searched engines today is the familiar YouTube. Aside from the funny pet videos, there are plenty of self-help videos as well as commercial productions. These online videos help you get noticed online. They also make awesome videos to assist with learning... As we can see below.
 
We were asked to assist in the production of some up-to date “Source Language Materials” to be used in the training and development of interpreters dealing with Sign Language, or more specifically, British Sign Language (BSL). This involved filming conversations while the guys behind us filming were telling us what’s going on… (We don’t sign so well as you’ll see later). Commercial Video and Photography work is one area we tend to get a lot of enquiries, and all of the work is very much bespoke to suit the person or business we’re being asked to work with. Being flexible and listening carefully to what’s being asked of us and sharing a genuine enthusiasm for our work are just a few of the qualities we hope sets us above others.
 
As a Commercial Photography contract we were real pleased to win the job and hope that we’ve done ourselves credit. In fact, we were really pleased to receive this testimonial from Peter at SLI…
 
“I must thank you both for all of your help on Saturday. The facilities were great - as was the hospitality - but most important was that you put everybody at such ease that they came up with some wonderful examples of natural BSL. Thanks for being so flexible and good humoured; we will certainly come back to you whenever we need professionally produced videos or photographs and not hesitate to recommend your studio to business contacts, colleagues and friends.”
 
Not only have we filmed and edited the video footage, but also re-created the SLI logo and provided a short logo animation to bookend the film. We believe that going the extra mile is one of the things that make Infinitus Studios so very special to our clients.
 
So if you’re already working with SLI, the chances are that you’ll see some of our joint collaborations, although if you’re not, you’ll just have to watch the video below and have a laugh with Craig and Sharon as Craig tries to learn some new sign from the very patient Sharon. Thank you!
 
Anthony and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at SLI, Peter, Maria, Lee, Sharon, Graham, Jake and Emma for joining us and hope you had as much fun as we did.
