Wishing you a Merry Christmas and New Year. Wanted to send a little update as been a bit quiet. Life chucks stuff at you but you feel it and move forward. That's all you can do. So I've been working through breast cancer and just moving forward and trying to stay positive. Sending you great vibes if you're going through the motions of life and see you in the new year. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this time with work and also helped me with filming, you know who you are. Much love xx

Happy International Women's Day As a mum and a daughter, I celebrate all women this month. I've been silent on social media for a while whilst I recover from an operation but it's given me the chance to really reflect on what I really want to do in my business and re-align. The answer came clear and that was to use my creativity to help more women owned or led businesses especially in tech, culture and health. This I believe is my why in life. Growing up I don't remember seeing a lot of women in the media that I connected with and as my daughter grows I realise there is a need for me to do this. When you increase visibility you inspire others to be seen and heard too and that's what I want to do. Use video to help women led companies so that young ladies see them and feel a spark within themselves. To do that I must be heard and seen myself. More videos to come and joy of sharing myself and my work with you but for now Happy International Women's Day. Here's a video from International Women's Day a few years ago.

Kinetic typography is an animation technique that uses moving text to capture attention, set a tone, and entertain. It seems to be everywhere right now—commercials, music videos, mobile apps, and websites use it to make their words more impactful and add an element of artistry. Typography adds a luminous glow to your texts and adds different colours and fonts to them. It is all about modifying the text according to the design and creating powerful content. It provides a striking appeal and retains the artistic value of your content. It plays a vital role in enhancing the overall look and feel of your website and delivering an exceptional user experience. Typography has been around since the 1960s, when feature films started using animated opening titles instead of static text, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon.

Project Alert! 👉Babergh and Mid- Suffolk MJ Awards Video Snippet👈 I was approached and asked to put together a presentation video for the MJ Awards for Babergh and Mid- Suffolk's Housing Solutions Team. They have been heroes working through the pandemic organising housing for those in need during lockdown. Even turning around a property in 5 days with the help of their suppliers who gave fittings from their offices when the supply chain was not able to import materials due to the global halt of stock at the height of the pandemic. The MJ Awards were held on Friday and I am delighted that Babergh and Mid-Suffolk came 'Highly Commended' in the Community Heroes Category - well deserved 👏 #communityheroes #video #presentation #redcactusmedia

Here is a snippet from our project with Ipswich and Colchester Museums. They approached me for a solution to help bring their exhibitions to young people as restrictions at school meant school visits were off. The Red Cactus team created a video based on their exhibits so young people could learn about the exciting Egyptians in their classrooms. Essentially bringing the museums to the schools. We loved this project! #videoproduction #videoproducer #awardwinning #redcactusmedia

It's now time to start a new Tuesday top tip series, so for the next 5 weeks we'll be looking at different types of animation. We're kicking off this mini-series looking at motion graphics which is the most commonly used type of animation by businesses these days, and comes into its own when you have a lot of information to share with your audience that needs to come across clearly. Motion graphics is great for making an action-packed film where dense topics come to light in a visual way. By using great graphics you really can deliver a compelling message in a way that will engage your audience. This solution for @dartdesign was the creation of a showreel of their work for clients showcasing the emotion people feel when looking at stunning imagery. I love the soundtrack and the imagery and find it's a great way to have a video if you don't want to appear in it. I couldn't sit still editing it, Enjoy! - Remi If you're thinking about creating a film but need someone to talk your ideas through with then get in touch: remi@red-cactusmedia@gmail.com #animation #filmproducer #videoproduction #motiongraphics #tuesdaytoptips #redcactusmedia

Todays Tuesday top tip is - Chat with your interviewer before the camera’s start. A good interviewer will always try to talk to you as it builds your confidence with them, as they want you to be your best. So try to engage, as it will help to ease nerves. Above all remember to have fun as it’s a two-way conversation and you’ll be fine. If it’s not live you can always stop the camera and do it again or the video can be edited to make you look great and sound great so there's no need to worry. If you want any more tips on interviews and video production then please feel free to get in touch. Contact [email protected] to schedule a call. Always happy to chat, happy creating. #tuesdaytoptip #videointerview #filmproduction #redcactusmedia

Here at Red Cactus Media we thought it would be a good idea to throw some light-hearted fun into our posts over the summer and talk about upcoming films and those nostalgic ones that we used to watch endlessly during the school holidays - our absolute favourites! This week we are kicking off with the fabulous Mrs Doubtfire, an iconic film from 1993. Tell us in the comments below what film you used to watched every school holiday!

Do your internal communications need a shake up to be more impactful? If so, what about producing some videos? Video messages can now be spread throughout an organisation in seconds to any number of devices. Using video for internal communications finally makes sense thanks to the ease of online distribution (yay!) - saving both time and money by becoming instantly accessible to employees and integrating perfectly with their daily online experience. If you need any further info don't hesitate to send a DM. #internalcommunications #videoproduction #redcactusmedia

Meet Clare she's joining the Red Cactus Team as Operations Manager. Woop woop! This is my organised dynamo with a cool head and mellow personality, Clare Lucas. I'm feeling very grateful she said yes to joining me on this journey. Lists, spreadsheets, organising, her family and gin make her happy. Taken is one of her favourite films and also she has done the Great East Swim so she could have been a member of the SAS in a previous life 🤔🤣
