One step closer to UAE

The last few months have been busy on the UAE front. VTR are set up to work with UAE Companies, from Agencies to Production Companies out in United Arab Emirates.

We have drummed down the possible work areas to: Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. Our friends at Pinsent Masons have been fantastic in preparing us for working with the Middle East. We are preparing our OMIS (Overseas Market Introductory Service) whereby UKTI's consulates based over in the Middle East can help us with introductions, market information etc.

We will be offering to the Middle East a lot of what we do over in the UK, including Off-line editing, Online editing, Colour grading, Finishing, Visual Effects, Motion graphics, CGI, Camera tracking, Animation, Sound design, Track laying, Audio production and encoding. In particular Reversioning, will be a particular service of interest to the Saudi's. We have been involved in a lot of reversioning -with the likes of Spanish agency Athletico for SEAT. Take a look at some more of our services at www.vtrnorth.co.uk.

Radioama

Bauer Media stated this week "Don't underestimate radios power as an advertising medium". Although Radio is not seen as quite so modern an outlet as TV, it still has a hugely persuasive power as an advertising tool. Heavy radio advertisers like Coca Cola and Red Bull will agree.

Radio is also a growing media thanks to the arrival of digital platforms, which are being used massively by the likes of Radio 1 etc.

With 84, 500,000 radios in Britain's homes I'd say Radio is still loved.

Seven Days too long?

Factual Producer Steve Lambert thought that bringing in an interactive show such as Seven Days on to Channel 4 could be nothing but a success.
It seems he was wrong. Yes, Channel 4 have commented they liked the theme so will not turn down another request to do a similar thing, however were not happy with the drooping viewing stats.
Personally I watched one episode and found it to be quite refreshing, especially since the characters involved were quite interesting, however was it just too close to George Orwells Nineteen Eighty Four or Big Brother? What do you think?
