Moving to Spike Island, Bristol

By | Office | No Comments

For those that don’t know, our video company, Kube Productions has moved from its birthplace of Bournemouth, to Bristol. We still work in Bournemouth a lot, with a great deal of our clients and friends down there (and oh how we miss the gorgeous seaside). But luckily, the nature of our work allows for us to be quite portable.

Earlier this year, we started working from a creative co-working space called Spike Design (which is in a building called ‘Spike Island’, which coincidently, is also on an island just south of Central Bristol, called Spike Island – Spike everything I know!). The space we work from is full of designers (graphic, product, digital etc), illustrators, photographers. All very exciting, and great to be meeting so many talented people.

There’s also a facility here called “Spike Film & Video” where we have access to a range of film equipment including edit suites, film lighting, and cameras too.

We can’t wait to see how our film and animation business grows over the next chapter in Bristol.

Inspiration Fridays at Kube Productions

Inspiration Fridays

By | Office | No Comments

This is one of our favourite slots in our calendar.

As you may have guessed, the premise is to look at video content that has inspired us – it’s something we’ve been doing for a long time, but thought we’d share it.

We sit down as a team every Friday afternoon and each show a video of our choice. There is no restriction on the size or budget, it could be a students final year piece, or the latest advert from Honda – the point is to keep the material diverse.

We then discuss each one, focusing on the following significant points:

  • What’s the idea and story behind the piece?
  • How does the idea relate to the purpose.
  • What are the technical elements of the production? and how have they gone about producing it?
  • How does the video assist the beneficiary/client?
  • Does it do the job i.e. sell the product/service?
  • Our emotive responses.

If you’re thinking of doing some video work, you might want to consider these points : )
