DIGITAL EDITING

Many of us have taken home movies of school plays, holidays, weddings and other important family events. Some of us perhaps, have even tried to create our own 'Gone With The Wind' - at least on a smaller scale.

But somehow, the movie doesn't really achieve that emotional resonance that can render a production a life milestone.

At Ringstones Media, we appreciate how important a film can be to a family, or a group of friends, and how the production can be more than just a mere collection of moving images.

That is why we have expertise on board who understand the language of film, the nuance of camera positoning and movement, and the relevance of using fades, dissolves and other effects to enhance the storytelling experience.

Chris Hardwick has been involved in movie-making for over 40 years, and has both produced and edited movies, engaging with a bewildering array of traditional and modern technolgy over the years from the Super 8mm days of yore to today's HiDef digital camcorder technology.

Over the years, Chris has won many movie accolades, from magazine film certificates to awards from the IAC. He is particularly proud to have won the prestigious Portugese Festival Internacional De Cinema De Amadores medal three years in a row, and the Richard Massingham Comedy Trophy for his silent movie parody 'Fluttering Hearts' was awarded to him by film director Alan Parker CBE in 1978.

Movie-making is more a passion and a labour of love for Chris, and he enjoys editing material shot by others.

So if you would like the opportunity to transform that old 8mm movie into something to bring the house down, drop Chris a line or fill in our Enquiry Form on our Contact Us page.

And pass the popcorn.
