“I think of filmmaking as a form of communication. Maybe it’s also an art, but that’s for somebody else to decide.” - Roger Deakins. Video is a great way to communicate an idea. What idea would you communicate with a film, if you could?

08/09/2021

“A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings.” - Stanley Kubrick. We couldn't agree more! Great video isn't just something you watch, it's something you feel.

06/09/2021

Great Bear Media turns three today!

It's been a ride and we couldn't have done it without the support from our clients, fans, followers, family and of course, Biscuit.

Here's to another great year ahead.

13/08/2021

This August, we're doing a prompt challenge to see what we can make based on YOUR suggestions. Comment a one-word idea below, and we'll pick one to make a 30-second video from. Get creative, and let's find out what we can come up with!

"A video without a storyboard is like a house without a foundation." - Han Lung. Exactly! No high quality content is ever just made up on the spot. Planning a shoot with your goals in mind is the difference between a professional video and an amateurish clip.

06/08/2021

Got the footage, but don't know how to convert your clips into a professional video? We don't just film. We edit too! Get in touch and we can have a conversation about how to help turn your footage into something incredible: https://greatbearmedia.co.uk/video-support-services/

B-roll is the magic ingredient so many people don’t know about. It can take an alright video to a jaw-dropping production. What do you know about B-roll?

In case you missed it, the legendary director Werner Herzog thinks you should read more! What books have inspired your creativity?

"Film is not all about the fancy gear or camera movement, but about the story you want to tell." - Mario So Gao. Mario is right! Equipment helps, but the magic is how a video tells a story, and how that story makes you feel. And for that, you need someone who can use their kit to its full potential.

28/07/2021

Sound is vital to the kind of video that makes an impact. It can turn a simple scene into an experience that can make you feel like, for a brief moment, you were there. If you want your customers to feel the texture of your clothing line or smell the freshly baked bread as it is pulled out of the oven, a rich soundscape is what you need. Let us know in the comments what your business sounds like!
