And what a year it’s been!
Here’s sending the best of wishes to all the wonderful clients, suppliers, freelancers, and fabulous others we work with.
It’s sure been a busy & fun 2023, and we’re looking forward to an even better 2024.
Have a great Christmas break, a wonderful New Year, and a well-earned rest.
From all of us here at DMI.

“It all started with a mouse” – those famous words uttered by Walt Disney all those years ago.
Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary today, and we’re so proud that we’ve worked with them for over 20 of those years.

From producing commercials, creating film & TV trailers, covering Store openings, running conferences & events in Europe, filming numerous celebs, to even working with the head honcho himself – Mickey.
The list goes on, and there’s not a lot we haven’t done with them over the years.

We love working with this company and all the wonderful staff, so a huge thanks to everyone who continues to make the magic.

Released on Disney+ today, make sure you catch this glorious tribute – ‘Once Upon a Studio’.
Featuring an all-star cast of 543 characters from over 85 Disney films through the years, it really is a joy and a beautiful piece of filmmaking.

Here’s to the next 100 years!

Christmas in September?!? Are we mad?
Nope. Just helping our festive friends at Playtime PR, as we took care of the logistics for their stands at this year’s Big Christmas Press Show.
We got to see loads of great things lined up for December, whilst making sure their presence was ‘best on show!’

23/12/2022

Just time for a quick message before we put our feet up and start eying up all those choccies!
Wishing all our clients, suppliers, freelancers, and friends of DMI a truly wonderful Christmas break.
Thank you all for being so great to work with over the last year.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and successful 2023 for one and all.
From all of us at DMI.

Some memories just have to be shared.
We’ve just had this beauty pop up from 9 years ago today…
When the gorgeous ‘Doogy Howser’, ‘Barney Stinson’, and multiple Tony host - aka Neil Patrick Harris - shared our Christmas video to his 7 million followers!
Enjoy it all over again, and have your own childhood memories come flooding back...

“Do you work in events as well?” we hear you cry. Well yes we do!

In fact our background is in live events, and Stu had lots of fun overseeing the logistics for ten stands at this year’s ‘Big Christmas Press Show’, for the fabulous people at Playtime PR.

21/07/2022

It’s been a busy month at DMI Towers, worshipping the air con gods, and enjoying plenty of Calippos.
We’ve also been busy creating lots of trailers for some new releases from Disney.
Including some Marvel reversions, as well as a few Pixar animation hits.
Drop us a line if you need any promos cutting – or fancy a Calippo!

01/06/2022

Who us? Jumping on the bandwagon and using our convenient logo to help celebrate the Jubilee?
Why ever not! Have a fabulous few days folks, and enjoy your long Bank Holiday weekend.
We certainly will..!

04/05/2022

Well of course we had to add to the many posts today.
But ours does feature a superstar cameraman – and one of the biggest Jedi fans in the galaxy!
Happy Star Wars Day James. You’re a real trooper!

28/04/2022

When we’re not producing great content for our lovely clients, you may find us running a live stream for popular British band Hard-Fi.

They held an online gig tonight as part of the build up to their comeback show on October 1st at London’s O2 Forum.
Straight outta’ Staines, they have a worldwide fan base, and supporters can’t wait to see them live again!

General tickets go online tomorrow, but you'll need to be quick as they'll sell like baked treats which are extremely warm!

23/03/2022

It’s not all big glam film shoots and editing glossy promos you know.
Sometimes a medical client will want a simple explainer video for a new drug.
We do those too!

11/03/2022

Some secret filming recently in a discreet London location, for a big project out in the Summer.
We can reveal more about who the fabulously wonderful person was in June.
Meanwhile – here are some of the lovely & talented crew!

08/03/2022

So as well as creating promos for our clients’ UK needs, we also make them for localised markets around the world.
Drop us a line if you want to see how we can help you.

Nice to be recording voiceovers in our audio suite for some TV promos we’ve created for the team over at NBCUniversal.

21/01/2022

When you need to tell people the kind of thing you do - one way can be a neatly put together Info-video.
Here's a recent one of ours for those lovely people over at Qualco UK.

13/01/2022

Our good friends over at Disney recently asked us to create some teasers for two of their major releases this year.
Both appearing on the Amazon Fire TV platform.
If you haven’t enjoyed it yet, go and check out the Golden Globe winning ‘Encanto’ on Amazon Prime or Disney+.

So one of the team got the memo. The other went with the traditional Christmas lobster!

Who’d have thought we’d be saying ‘Well that was an interesting year’ for a 2nd year on the trot.
Big shout out, and a wonderful New Year, to all our lovely clients, suppliers, freelancers, and friends of DMI.

Here’s to a happier, healthier, and busier 2022 for everyone.

Lots of love from all the DMI team

Time for the last of our four DMI Christmas videos, hand-picked from our back catalogue.
Another one of our faves, featuring a number of cubes, a sprinkling of magic, and a cracking audio track.
All done live!
Big shout to Deej Johnson for his amazing work with cube art, as you’ll see.
In true internet-video style – turn your volume up, and watch to the very end for maximum enjoyment.

17/12/2021

Yep – it’s the third DMI Christmas video, pulled from our back catalogue.
Something a bit different this week featuring the artistic talents of Charly.
Give her a bowl, some fake snow, and a jaunty tune, and watch her conjure up some real Yuletide magic.

10/12/2021

Time for our second Christmas video, pulled from the DMI vaults.
This one was a LOT of work, and took forever, but was well worth it.
Using stop frame techniques and live in-camera effects, with very little CGI – see if you can spot all the subtle touches.
Who knew they made a Stu sized LEGO minifig!

09/12/2021

Good to be back in the audio suite today, recording a voice-over for a client’s brand new info-graphic video.
Lots of techno-speak and fancy graphics - it sure looks impressive!

03/12/2021

It’s that time of year for fun & festive videos to start appearing everywhere, so we’re posting four of our past creations – one a week - in the lead up to Christmas!
Starting off with our favourite - for several reasons.
It was retweeted by Stephen Fry, Derren Brown, and Neil Patrick Harris; was featured on Good Morning America; and had close to a million views online.
And lastly, who doesn’t love a load of retro toys & games!
Enjoy

Lots of overnight magic happening in Oxford Street, which we captured with time-lapse recording and then traditional filming just before the Store opened to the public.
Stu popped along in the morning to capture the big reveal of Disney’s in-store Gingerbread House theming, which supports their Christmas Commercial this year.

13/10/2021

Lots of fun looking after the logistics for those lovely folk at Playtime PR recently, when they had 11 stands at the Big Christmas Press Show.
Plenty of exciting toys & games, some magic, a dinosaur, and not forgetting Teddy the Shetland Pony!

Neil has been kept busy over the summer, designing sound for some interactive retail game experiences with the wonderful people at Blueprint Partners.
As well as mixing sound for these cool & experiential games, he’s also been working with BP on sound designing for some of their car launches and event videos.

04/05/2021

Had to be done.
And what better day to remember some true legends we've worked with over the years. Happy Star Wars Day folks!

Now this is beautiful film making.
And wow - what a drone pilot!

A string of celebrities and big-name filmmakers shower praise on the creators of a single-take video shot with a drone flying through a Minnesota bowling alley.
