Video Production in Philippines

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Fotomedia’s creativity was put to the test with this project, funded by AusAID Innovations Grant in partnership with Opportunity International Australia and APPEND, to produce a 10 unit financial literacy DVDs for distribution in the Philippines.

Our brief was to make the content fun and engaging for the audience, as the Philippine culture embraces entertaining performances in a light hearted and fun style. Research showed games shows were very popular in the Philippine market, so under the direction of Project Manager, Robyn Robertson, Fast Eddie was created as host of the show with two roving reporters …. Eddie, Get, Set and GO!

In a one week shoot – our crew filmed and recorded talent, sound and overlay for the 120 minute educational DVD. The DVD incorporated teaching pieces, vox pops (word on the streets) and game challenges were used as metaphors, in order to communicate basic financial principals to populations with low literacy rates.

Our proven workflow post-production strategies were implemented, including the full transcription and translation of all interview content and the final production of English subtitles.

Video Production in Malawi

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Fotomedia’s capacity to deliver multimedia editing services under challenging post-production conditions is exemplified by work on an unusual commission from global charity Opportunity International UK (OIUK).

Needing a trusted supplier for the project, OIUK turned to Fotomedia, who had previously been engaged by the group to produce and direct similar DVDs in Ghana and Uganda.

Fotomedia’s work in Ghana and Uganda had, according to OIUK project manager, exceeded the agency’s expectations, making them the obvious choice for a ‘salvage edit’ on the Malawi project.

“Fotomedia is the absolute best multimedia company I’ve ever worked with”, says OIUK project manager.  “They’re as great with guys in Africa as they are with corporates.”

OIUK delivered more than 180 minutes of raw footage to Fotomedia, along with a list of required changes, including structural edits and fresh subtitling.
Work on the Malawi-shot footage proceeded at Fotomedia’s Gold Coast studio, with sections of the re-edited video delivered online to OIUK for approval and feedback.

Fotomedia’s edit included new menus for the DVDs and duplication of more than 400 hard copies. The final edited product proved fit for purpose and exceeded client expectation.

PAL vs NTSC

PAL = 25 frames per second with 625 scan lines per screen – Used in Europe and Asia etc
NTSC = 30 frames per second with 525 scan lines per screen – Used in USA, Japan etc

Duplication of DVD’s mostly are in batches of under 1000 – with quantities above 1000 we generally use replication.
Replicating is where we produce a glass master DVD and the files are embedded on each pressed disc, resulting in a DVD with slightly more stability.

It is always best to test the DVD on various systems prior to committing to large quantities.
