A film documenting The Seaside Sister’s residency on board LV21. Dubbed the queens of coastal themed craft in this review on Vintage By Hemingway, visitors were treated to vintage seaside inspired souvenirs and workshops. Nick Brown of the rare vinyl record shop Intoxica treated us to a surf and nautical themed DJ set. And the enchanting mermaid aka soprano Sophia Brumfitt lured visitors deep into the ship with her beautiful voice.

Small Changes, Big Impact was shot at Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, the only School of Creativity in Kent, during 2010-11. The film was commissioned by CCE and Creative Partnerships to highlight the benefits of creative learning in education. It will be screened at the Festival of Britain at London’s SouthBank Centre where there will be a debate that will explore the changing landscape of learning in Britain with a specific focus on the role of creativity and what this might mean for schools in the future.

The exhibition will then tour the country visiting Schools of Creativity and other local cultural venues.

A film documenting day 3 of Figure Ground’s artist mini residency on board Light Vessel 21 at Gillingham Pier when the public were welcomed onto the lightship to explore the installation art. The 5DmkII definitely helps when filming in low light conditions, sometimes in confined spaces too!

We’ve just launched the Encounter website, another custom designed wordpress theme packed full with social media features. Between July and November 2011, Encounter will transform six urban sites in Medway and the boroughs of Gravesham and Swale.

The ‘encounters’ are temporary, site specific installations, performances or events developed in partnership with local community groups, which take place in familiar spaces in the heart of the community – empty shops, vacant buildings, businesses, high streets and public squares.

Encounter is produced by NKLAAP, North Kent local authority arts partnership, and supported by the Arts Council and KCC.

This month we launched a website for creative events producer Allison Young whose clients include the BBC and Royal Opera House. Another custom wordpress theme, this design is clean and minimal and allows for client management and scalability.

Visit Allison’s site to fully experience the functionality and design. For ease of management we incorporated a nice highslide gallery that dynamically draws in content from flickr and set up Allison’s profile on a number of social media platforms.

Maidstone Matters is the website for the Maidstone Local Strategic Partnership. It’s an information heavy website with an ever growing content in archive documents and presentations. Some toggle and tab functionality and some js animations help to keep this custom wordpress theme fresh and uncluttered. Take a look.

In the run up to the 2012 Olympics there is hot competition to become an international training camp for visiting teams. I was commissioned to produce a promotional film for the recently refurbished Medway Park to help attract visiting Olympic teams to Medway and to promote the facilities to the wider local community.

Introduced by former Olympic Champion and World Record holder Steve Backley, the film highlights the new facilities at Medway Park and includes footage of sporting events held at the Park including the Modern Pentathlon World Cup, as well as promoting Medway’s cultural and historical background. The film was first screened at the Medway Sports Awards 2010.

It’s been  hectic at the ranch recently. So much so that the blog has been a bit neglected. It seems that the new year has spurred on a lot of people to get a new web presence. We recently launched another two.

First to go live in 2011 was another website for Recover, counselling and clinical therapy specialists. Built on a wordpress platform this client is capable of fully managing their site’s content and structure.

Also launched was T J Marine, another wordpress design for this independent marine consultancy company.

This film, commissioned by Medway Council, was first screened at the Rochester Castle concerts and will continue to be used to promote Medway’s bid for city status in 2012. It brings together footage including the Tour De France and the Modern Pentathlon World Cup, the Dickens Festival and Fuse Art Festival, as well as various other cultural and sporting events held in Medway in recent years.

If you have an opinion that you would like to express about the bid, you can visit the city campaign website blog and post a comment.
