It starts with questions and listening – that’s how we bring your ideas to life. Very quickly we can help you find the best way to communicate your message. We can tell you what’s possible within your budget – and then we set to work to make it happen. We are a full time team of six creative people who love creative challenges.

Unlike most video production companies, we write and we interview – and we hope you’ll see that we do both of those things extremely well. When the way it’s said is what really matters – please give us a call. We think it’s one of the things that sets us apart – but you’d be the best judge of that. See some examples of scripted films here and interviews here

Once in a while we work with actors, but most of what we do is rooted in documentary production – we work with real people in real situations – and we take pride in helping them feel at ease. We work in small crews, normally just in twos, we create a relaxed atmosphere and we take the time to help. We communicate clearly and kindly. And we know how to tell the story and how to make it look great. 

Where will it happen? Have we got access? Who will be involved? Have we got everyone’s permission? When will it happen? How long will it take? 

And very importantly, does the film we’re making recognise and reflect the diversity of your potential audience? Does it do all it can to recognise and support their needs?

We’ll work closely with you to make it happen.

There are times when only graphics can do the job. We regularly produce branded content for our clients, ranging from web banners to presentations, infographic films and explainers. We’ll work with your corporate style guides and bring the extra whizz that can hold the attention of your viewers and bring static content or procedural ideas to life.

Conference presentations, panel discussions, ‘in conversation’ events, music and performance – we can provide an experienced multi-camera crew, work with your existing event production team and provide a broadcast quality cut of your event ready to stream on the platform of your choice.

Zoom interviews, mobile phone footage, photos – aka User Generated Content. Tell us what you need and we’ll cut it down, make it look good, package it up with your branding and deliver it in a stylish package that will look great online.

Our crew have full drone licences and insurance. We think of the drones as just another tool in our extensive kit – we don’t charge extra for drone, it’s part of the package when you book our services.

Nova has a wealth of experience in researching, sourcing and licensing archive and library footage. We were contracted by Hull 2017 to source all of the archive footage that was used in projections for the acclaimed ‘Made in Hull’ 2017 opening event, and our documentary productions about the musician Basil Kirchin and the artist Paul Burwell both relied heavily on archive footage, photography and other imagery from a wide range of sources including the BBC, Getty Images, Pathe, Yorkshire Film Archive and many more.
