The Witches Of Eastwick - UK Tour

Former Wet Wet Wet lead singer Marti Pellow played the devilish Darryl Van Horne in the new touring production of The Witches of Eastwick. We caught up with the cast to shoot an EPK during a special call in its first venue the Theatre Royal Norwich. Shot in 3 hours with a Steadicam and Jimmy Jib, the EPK was suplimented with an interview from Marti.

Cameron Mackintosh Ltd
We are privileged to be the preferred supplier to Cameron Mackintosh, and have worked closely with him to produce quality TV reproductions of his shows such as Oliver!, Les Miserables, My Fair Lady, Miss Saigon and Avenue Q shooting short trailers for promotional use. These have included utilising Steadicam, Jimmy Jib and Technocrane techniques under our direction during a special dedicated call of the cast.

Avenue Q
In June 2006, Avenue Q The Musical travelled across the Atlantic from Broadway and opened in London's West End. AdVision TV provided the EPK material for UK promotion and also made a short film that was used to open the second act while the show was in Previews. A supertechno 15 was used in combination with Steadicam.

Miss Saigon
The video example on the right shows an extract from the UK National tour of Miss Saigon. The Miss Saigon EPK footage was currently used for local BBC and ITV news regions and international producers to promote the show.

The Grapes Of Wrath

Published in 1939, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck’s shattering novel, The Grapes of Wrath, is a cry for equality and humanity, and a hymn to the fortitude of man. This EPK was shot with a Stedicam during a special call and multicamera from an evening performance.

Nicholas Nickleby

Performed by a company of over 20 actors, David Edgar's new version of Nicholas Nickleby was presented across two performances. Our 5 camera recording was filmed in front of a live audience at the start of the UK tour in Chichester, with sound remixed on the day from the theatres own microphone feeds. The EPK was then intercut with interviews from cast and creatives.

Live Theatre

This example taken from local Kent comedian Lloyd Hollett shows a 5 camera setup. Moving shots are provided by a Polecam utilising a miniature broadcast quality camera giving overhead shots of the performance and audience.

DVD's are available of the whole show from AdVision TV.
