Many of you already know that I work closely with Spartmedia - a professional movie and media company who produce, online movies and DVDs for promotions, training, advertising and entertainment. Many of their clients, like Helen Porter of Pink Ink Tattoos and Nick Kemp, have been longstanding clients of mine for photography. Now that they are also using movies to promote their work on the internet the fact that they have a great library of digital images from me means that their movies can use these images.

So here are a few examples:

Pink Ink Tattoos

• She used images from a promotional shoot she had with me in 2008 for the opening and closing credits
• I created some high quality photographs of her tattoo equipment to produce an animation explaining how the tattoo gun works

Nick Kemp Training

• In 2006 Nick commissioned a series of promotionsal shots which are used to great effect in the title screens. Notice the 2.5D technique where a still image is zoomed, shifted and rotated subtly against a background to create a sense of depth.
• At the end of the movie we use a number of shots that I took while covering a number of his training events. This montage reinforces the message and shows his potential clients what the training courses are like - which increases the uptake on the courses

The combination of professional photographs and movies is fascinating and becoming increasingly important in marketting and advertising as more people are switching on to the use of movies in websites. By working closely with Spartmedia I understand and know how to deliver great images that are tailored to use in these movies.
