Our Planet

27th Sep 07

The Low Carbon Partnership - Dulas Ltd.

Filming has begun for The Low Carbon Partnership's 'Our Planet' project (through Dulas Ltd and Sundog Energy), an exciting project that will include video, animation and other resources for teachers and pupils across the UK to access. This resource will help in the understanding of renewable technologies, and is linked to the National Curriculum.

Pixel Foundry won the bid to develop and supply over 30 video clips, and we're very glad to have contracted Shini Somarathne, a self-titled 'babe with brains', to present the series (and de-boffinize some complex science!).  

Clayton Engineering video completed

23rd May 07

Clayton Engineering Limited design and manufacture impressive launch and recovery equipment for the sea-rescue community. They cited a requirement for a video to help them in their trade mission to Gothenberg in June 07 and commissioned Pixel Foundry to produce a DVD. We worked closely to develop a concept, script and schedule and are enourmously grateful to the lifeboat stations and crews at Aberystwyth, Barmouth, Burry Port and Tenby, for all their help and assistance in the making of the video.

As with many projects that we undertake, a steep learning curve is required to get our heads under the bonnet of the company, it's products, services, markets, ethos etc in order to deliver a video that is going to achieve the objectives of the company, but we are now almost experts when it comes to epicyclic gearboxes, differentials and greased nipples. The video clips will be available on the all-new Clayton Engineering website very soon, so take a look at www.claytonengineering.co.uk to see what we've done for them.
