Today Chat Noir have a freelance film crew filming in #Portland #Oregon for a returning white-label client.
Following the production of two film projects for Oil Tanks Supplies Ltd, Chat Noir Productions was recommended to Regenesis Bio-Fuels Ltd.
Working to a tight deadline, Chat Noir Productions delivered a short animated film, detailing the Regenesis' unique bio-fuels technology.
Today was the third day of filming for Chat Noir at the schools choir competition for charity CEDE. The first day was at Wigan Football Stadium and the other two at King's House Conference Centre, Manchester.
Chat Noir Productions Ltd was approached by Leyland and Leyland of Paris to produce a short animation, detailing the company's business set-up services. Producing a film in a foreign language provided some unique challenges, as did providing bespoke images, foregoing the standard stock image approach.
On November 8th, Chat Noir Productions filmed once more at the Heritage Boatyard: National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port.
Chat Noir are documenting the Keeping History Afloat scheme, a project for the National Historic Ships and the Canal and River Trust, which gives three trainees the opportunity to learn traditional boat-right skills*.
The latest filming shows the canal boat "Ferret" being craned into the Heritage Boatyard, so that the trainees can work on conserving this historic vessel. To commemorate the event, Chat Noir have produced two short films. One showing the entire Ferret craning and another recording the celebrations by the volunteers and the trainees.
After completing two films for Oil Tank Supplies Ltd in 2009, Chat Noir Productions was again commissioned to produce a film for the company TankCare division, detailing the company's state-of-the-art systems for keeping bio-fuel tanks clean.
Today Chat Noir have been busy in the studio shooting a variety of close-ups for a new film project for Leyland and Leyland. Along with a variety of Apple laptops and iPhones, dressings included a selection of colour coordinated props designed to match the clients existing colour pallet.
One of our on-going projects for the last couple of months has been "Amsiggel". This video is made up of a series of watercolour pictures, with a narration in Morrocan. For the past eight years our client has been working with a film company in the south of England, to see this work put together, but without any real progress. We're pleased to say the client is receiving a proof copy this week, after a few months of work.
Chat Noir are delighted to hear the following announcement in the Queen's Birthday Honours List:
