When did you last see a professional video crew at work?  It’s always great to watch the experts. Hollywood blockbusters demand large crews and extensive and expensive facilities. When it comes to videoing live performances in Theatres or Clubs in front of a paying audience, things have to be different.   It can be distracting to the audience when there are more of them than you! And even more so for the performer who has the audience watching the film crew instead of concentrating on them. 

Target Televisions Limited is run by husband and wife team Treflyn and Ann jones who have been professional entertainers for the last 19 years and have worked and performed in all types of venues throughout the UK. They know how important it is for a crew to be unobtrusive.  However, that doesn’t mean that they won’t cover all the angles!  Target Television shoots with the sort of kit compact enough to fit in the back of a people carrier. Offering four camera shoots (without crew members creeping all over the venue), Target Television ensures that they capture only the right sort of magic and ambience from your performance.

But surely, delivering all this on a budget must have implications for quality? Fear not! For all the film buffs out there, Hollywood Director David Lynch used a camera identical to Target’s Sony PD170 on his last feature film with amazing results. Target’s insistence on high standards even includes live video mixing with an option to supply their clients with a partly edited DVD before they go home!

Back at base, Target Television has full non-linear editing suites capable of delivering real time video preview without the need for time consuming rendering. They also offer a Cine film to VHS/DVD service as well as duplication facilities for DVD, VHS and regularly convert video into files suitable for distribution on the Internet.

Meeting their client’s requirements in terms of content and costs, with a commitment for meeting deadlines, is what sets Target Television ahead of the competition.  No complicated and costly layers of management means that you are straight through to speaking with the organ grinder and not the monkey. 

It is hardly surprising that Target Television is the facility of choice for entertainers and performers including TalentGold.com, Jimmy Cricket and Buzz (The Bradshaws) Hawkins to name but a few. As an indication of their high standards, they were invited to film the 2006 Encore Theatre Awards in London.
