Services
Motive AV provides professional video production and commercial photography services for both private industry and Government agencies. Operating for more than 20 years, we work with a wide range of corporate and industrial clients, specialising in the transportation industry.
Video Production
Motive AV offers a complete professional video production service. We work with broadcast standard Betacam SP and Digital Betacam equipment, in either widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3 formats.
We will work with you to develop a script, or shoot to a script you have produced yourself. During the shooting and editing process we keep you in the loop at all times. Client previews are available on a secure website, so you can give us your feedback every step of the way.
Once your program is finished we can deliver it in a variety of ways. Increasingly our clients choose DVD as their delivery platform, and we will work with you to create a DVD menu interface that suits your needs. Motive Audio Visual can provide you with computer and internet-friendly versions of your program, or even broadcast it as a video podcast. We can also supply your program on most video formats from VHS through to digital betacam.
For samples of our video work please view our video production portfolio.
Commercial Photography
Motive AV has extensive experience in commercial, industrial and transportation photography. Principal photographer Danny Brennan began his career as a photographer with Westrail, and has a wealth of experience in this field.
Danny works primarily with Digital SLR, but also has an analogue SLR camera available for large-format photographs. Photographs can be supplied in digital format and/or printed to your specifications.
Motive AV has a fully portable studio kit including Elinchrom flash units to get the best result when shooting on location.
