PROGRAMMING

Broadcast television
Our first broadcast work was in 1986 and since then we have been involved in the production of every type of programme. Much of our output has been sport or action related and has covered windsurfing, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, marathon running, cricket, football, motocross, motor racing, mountain biking aerobics and a whole host more. Acrobat material has been transmitted by all the major UK terrestrial and satellite broadcasters and many overseas broadcasters regularly avail themselves of our services. Recently this has been further facilitated by our portable production unit (see Production), which was designed specifically to shoot live events. Its convenience and low cost has allowed many more sports to be covered.

Corporate Television
Over 3,000 productions since 1984 is testimony to the quality and reputation Acrobat enjoys in the corporate sector. Clients of the stature of British Aerospace, Thomas Cook, Heinz and many others regularly choose Acrobat to promote their products and services, train their staff, provide point of sale material or present their annual reports. We bring broadcast standard ideas, equipment and practices and sometimes star names to all our corporate programmes, which ensure that they are as entertaining as they are informative. Yet, even at this level, corporate television need not be expensive. Acrobat provides cost effective solutions tailored to your budgets and geared to generate the required end result.

We offer bespoke service or a complete package, which includes all or some of the following as required:

• Creative treatments and concepts

• Research and scripting

• Location finding

• Set design and build

• Shooting

• Graphics production

• Music composition

Sponsored Programmes
Making a commercial or corporate video may not always be the best route to promoting your product or services. Sponsored television programmes or sell-thru videos provide an often higher profile route to getting your name across. By converting your production budget to sponsorship, Acrobat can make your money count. This is a real alternative - ask companies like Fat Face, Helly Hansen, Neilson and Salomon, committed partners in this sort of project.

Footage library
Acrobat has one of the largest libraries of footage in the UK with over 10,000 hours of broadcast standard material. Much of this includes action shots, sports and travel. Editing at Acrobat means that you have immediate access to this unique resource so that you need never be short of the ideal shot to complete a programme.
