Welcome back to OOTAP.

Out of the Ark started nearly 10 years ago, when Chris began producing small scale variety shows and working with various local & community theatres to create new and upcoming productions. Since then, Chris has worked with theatre companies and media companies across the country, and evolved the business into what it is today - a versatile media production company with a strong understanding of both the industry, and our clients needs.

Over the years, Out of the Ark began taking a more technical role in the theatre industry, and this began the journey into videography and digital content creation. Before long, we had moved away from out theatrical roots and were taking on a number of jobs for full video production, including corporate work, council commissions and more. While Chris was still strongly involved in the theatre industry on a personal level, the company was now fully a digital media company.

Honesty is an essential part of our beliefs, and as a company, we will always be honest with you. In 2016 Out of the Ark stopped taking on clients and stopped all video production due to a series of unfortunate personal events for all involved in the company at the time. It was a difficult time, but as with any event in life, there is always a silver lining.

In 2019, Out of the Ark is back, with a brand new identity, but the same burning passion to enable everyone to experience the benefits video can have for their business, regardless of budget or scale. We can't wait to see what exciting projects the year brings, and we can't wait to work with you soon.
