In filming, there are two types of content: A-roll and B-roll.

While your main piece of content might be something like an interview, our video team and editors will usually mix this footage in with extra footage.

This extra content of cutaways is called B-roll, and it’s there to provide context.

This is just one of many techniques that we use, to tell your story in a way that engages your viewers.

All of our video shoots are carefully planned out, down to the details of which lenses need to be used on which camera.

Lenses affect the feel of the end result. They can impact the width of an image, the amount of detail or blur, and even how much light the camera can take in!

Rest assured that our team have many decades of experience in picking the right lenses, so they always know how to achieve the right feel for your project.

Sometimes the perfect set doesn’t exist, so we have to build it.

Here’s a snapshot from a shoot we did a few months ago, which involved building the whole set inside a filming studio, and even involved a fake railway track!

Ann Herman!

We recently scripted, filmed and edited a farewell video for Ken Picton, who was stepping down as President of The Fellowship for British Hairdressing.

Most of the video was based around a scripted Zoom call, so we were able to film a lot of the participants remotely.

Ann Herman, who is loved and respected across the Hair industry, (and still going strong at 95!!) was more comfortable doing the filming in-person, so we visited her house and got the shots there.

Have you seen our Fleet?

Our OB vans recently took a trip up to Hull. We were working on a product launch for a client - using the vans, we were able to film, edit and live-stream the whole project on-site.

11/05/2022

We were recently on the road as part of GHD's Underground roadshow. The tour was a series of exclusive in-person educational events for GHD’s premier partners across the UK and Ireland.

We stopped off at 6 cities: Edinburgh, Dublin, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and London.

12,000 miles, 6 cities, 1 happy client.

At CS Media, we REALLY care about gear, so our clients don’t have to.

We come to shoots with all the lenses we’ll need, and a few extra ones that we probably won’t.

Our top priority is getting the right shots, to help you tell your brand’s story, exactly the way you see it.

04/05/2022

Here at CS Media, we work with some of the best names in the industry to deliver the right result for what your project needs.

Audio quality is often what allows great video content to shine, so we always make sure we have the right team in place for the project!

29/04/2022

A few weeks ago the team took a trip up to Hull, to film and live-stream a product launch for a client. Using our OB Vans, we were able to do the whole show on-site; setting up, filming and streaming all in the same day!

27/04/2022

As our business continues to grow, we’ve been investing in the best gear...

Just like this Probe Lens - a fun piece of kit that allows us to get amazing detail for close-up shots and get our cameras into confined spaces!

22/04/2022

Happy Earth Day!!

Here at CS Media we understand that our industry isn’t always the most environmentally conscious.

However, we are always looking for ways to make changes within the company, to ensure that we do our bit to help the environment.

For example, we ensure that all of our dated electrical items get appropriately recycled and in some cases, up-cycled.

We’re aiming to transform our OB Vans, to be fully electric by 2025 (even if we do need to take longer coffee breaks at the services!).

If we all play our small part, we can make big changes to help our planet.

20/04/2022

Often when we’re at video shoots, we’ll have our crew sit in for the models before they arrive.

This means that we can make sure all the camera settings are perfectly dialled-in before the talent arrives.

This keeps the whole experience streamlined, so that our clients can forget that we’re there and focus on their brilliant creative ideas!

Today we’re filming at the TONI&GUY academy in London with The Breakthrough Team 2022. We’re hugely proud to have partnered with for over a decade on this amazing training programme for young hairdressers. &guyworld

Have you heard about our OB Vans?

These are a great video production solution, which allow us to have studio-level connectivity from the back of a van.

Our vans are battery powered and provide reliable, always-on streaming connectivity.

This means they can stream your video content live from any location.

Feel free to email us, if you want to chat about using one for your business!

Earlier this year we built this broadcast studio for a client…

It has flexible presentation areas, customisable branding, and a state-of-the-art control room.

Another job well done by the team!

04/03/2022

This week we’ve been filming and doing production for the upcoming Diversity tour, which will be starting later this month!

25/02/2022

We’re back!

Our socials went quiet for a few months, as we got busy with loads of projects - live and hybrid events, live streams and video shoots.

We have a new website and a few new team members (including someone to help with social media 🙋‍♂️), and we’re excited to share what we’ve been working on.

Here’s to 2022!

‘Hair Every Wear’ is the latest collection from visionary hairdresser Angelo Seminara, Global Ambassador for Goldwell. CS Media were tasked with producing a video for the launch; which encapsulated the beauty, emotion and creativity of the collection. Shot over six days at the Tank Factory Studios in Acton, the resulting production ended up being one of the most complex and rewarding in our history.

We took a cinematic approach, using anamorphic lenses, six different cameras and a 30-foot crane to help tell the story of a mystical doorway that could transport Angelo into different realms. Each of these worlds – a railyard, a beach, a manor house and a futuristic domain – were movie-style sets built from scratch. Our crew’s job was to use clever lighting and camera techniques to sell the illusion of these worlds to the audience. For example, the railyard needed the warm, harsh tones of a midday desert, whilst the beach needed to look colder, flatter and bleaker. In the edit suite, we combined a dramatic orchestral score with a captivating voiceover from Angelo to guide the audience through the thoughts and inspirations behind each incredible hair look. You can enjoy the finished video at the link below!

Over the past few months, the CS Media team have been all things ghd! We were tasked with producing video content for two new product launches, including a new heat styling product range and the innovative, wide-plated ghd Max.

Such a diverse range of products required an equally diverse range of content. In fact, we’ve produced over 50 step by step tutorials, numerous hint and tips videos with the ghd ambassadors, a live-streamed studio show and a variety of high-end promos.

As a premium hair styling brand, ghd are always challenging us to find new and creative ways to engage with their consumers - and our team are always eager to rise to the challenge!
