We were approached by Mike Barlow, founder of myHealthPal, in collaboration with Ross from Firebird Films to produce a film that was simple, slick and demonstrated this innovative idea. Mike was diagnosed with Parkinsons at the age of 42 and with a background in IT, has come up with a very clever healthcare initiative that has been created by patients & carers for people living with long-term medical conditions such as Parkinson's.
Working closely with Mike and Ross, we took the initial scrip that Mike sent through and cut down to around 2 minutes, a little tricky to get everything in without rushing as Mike also has a full-time job. As always, it really paid off to plan before going into the studio and whilst the scrip was being firmed up, Ross was researching ideas for look and style of the film, coming up with a rather neat grey background that was created with clever lighting. Using the Sony FS700, the shoot went seamlessly with the help of Darren Potter and of course, recording great location sound to accompany the film is a given with Dreambase. We were back in the studio editing before we knew it.
As Mike was working to a tight deadline we had to streamline workflow so whilst the content was being edited, revised and CG graphics being added, we selected appropriate music and created a quick mix on the Adams back at the studio. Coupled with a quick grade the video was signed off and ready to upload to the client, in time for a funding application to be submitted on-line by the 6th June. Quick, slick and professional is how we roll.
We wish Mike all the very best with the presentation and we look forward to working with him again in the near future. We have worked with Firebird Films on many occasions, we have some really exciting projects coming up in the near future and as Ross said "we make films not videos" which is bang on the money as all our content is fit for the big screen and we've taken many projects into the cinema and will continue to do so.
