Rather than try to put down our competitors we prefer to state a few facts about us as a company and also to give a demonstration of how we film and also show a few clips take from actual events we have filmed.
As one of our creative film directors is a dancer and past choreographer we know the type of film you are looking for.
We always ensure that every dancer is on stage at all times. There is nothing worse than a parent or student purchasing a DVD only to find that when they are on stage the camera is focused on someone else. We also understand that the placement of the dancers on stage is choreographed so we ensure we film capturing the dance how it was intended.
We have a passion for what we do, we are very proud of our reputation and also the quality of our finished films.
Please take a look at our demonstration film above or view our samples below, we always enjoy showing off what we are able to do!
AVIV DANCE STUDIOS - 2011 SUMMER SHOW
This clip was filmed in Watford in May 2011 and shows a 3 camera film. The most important feature of this film is the positioning of the cameras that was permitted by Aviv Dance Studios.
Allowing us to film from dead center of the theatre makes sure we can get the best possible angle and hence the best possible footage.
The sound from this clip is a mix of the 3 microphones we had placed in the theatre and the original CD tracks used during the performance.
This is the first time we have used Creative Films, a real chance to take with my first dance show, but boy was it the right one to take, fantastic communication before the show, such professionalism on the day of the show and the DVDs themselves are amazing. The families within the dancing school are overjoyed with the quality and sound, and we recieved our DVDs within 3 weeks of the show!! We will definately be using Creative Films again. Thanks Guys!
Louise Onslow - Petite School of Dance
PETITE SCHOOL OF DANCE - 2011 SUMMER SHOW
This clip was filmed in Basingstoke in July 2011 and shows a 3 camera film. The most important feature of this film is the quality of the sound ensuring that the tap dancing sound is captured and easily audible during DVD playback.
This is always a challenge to any filming company, but thanks to our high quality theatre microphones we are able to capture tap dance sound as demonstrated in this clip.
LA'FAY SCHOOL OF DANCE - 2011 SUMMER SHOW
This clip was filmed in Leeds in July 2011 and shows a 2 camera film. The cameras for this production were placed to the right and the back of the theatre.
You will notice that this can be compensated for especially when using a tracking cam. The lighting during this performance was challenging but you will see the vibrant colours that are kept on the final production thanks to our talented camera men and editing teams.
ROYNON DANCE SWANMORE - 2011 ALICE IN WONDERLAND SHOW
This clip was filmed in Southampton in July 2011 and shows a 3 camera film. The cameras for this production were placed dead center and left of theatre.
We always have a safety camera set on full stage to ensure we never miss out a dancer. We used 2 tracking cameras following the dancers which is especially important during solo and duet dances such as this one.
Our expert editing team then take the various camera angles and select the best shots to create the final film.
ROYNON DANCE SWANMORE - 2011 ALICE IN WONDERLAND SHOW
The second from this show demonstrates how our editing team use broadcast quality transition effects perfectly timed to the music to enhance the final production of the dance.
These simple cuts and blended fades as used in all film and television productions.
When used correctly, these effects should look natural and add to the production as shown in this example.
