Fotomedia has a diverse international client base for its video production services. Our international work includes jobs in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, West Africa, Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Philippines. This body of work comprises TVCs, documentaries, training materials, AV presentations, web videos and DVDs.

Where financial education is involved, Robyn Robertson is our lynch pin. Here we scope out creative, script and deliverables together to generate the highest possible product values within client budget and deadlines.

Our production crews are quickly and efficiently mobilized, with high definition cameras, sound and lighting to service your needs. Additionally, we have in-house Autocue / Teleprompter, where client script can be loaded prior to shoot to assist local presenters.

On numerous occasions clients require our script translated into local language, then loaded into Autocue for the live shoot. The footage is then checked for accuracy against the script using local translators. Rough Cut Edit can be done on location to ensure local input where translation is deemed complex or accuracy needs to be checked.

Once our crew have returned to our studio, the video is transferred to the editing timeline, and if required, completed with full English subtitles that can be switched on or off on DVD menu

In addition, Fotomedia frequently provides subtitling and alternative language audio tracks including Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian and a variety of African languages on its video products, as per client requirements.

Robyn Robertson Lead Consultant on ‘An Opportunity for All: Financial Education in Africa’ Initiative in 2010/2011 presented multimedia samples to social investors and potential donors in June 2011.
