Video Production

Video is the number one marketing tool in today's world. People's attention span is rapidly diminishing and thus video is key in getting recognised. With video you can show an entire website's worth of content in 2 minutes.

You may think that video is not relevant to you but will be surprised. Come down to the studio and talk to one of our filmmakers. In almost all walks of life there is a way in which video can help your progress.

All of our video is shot in 1080P FULL HIGH DEFINITION as standard. We do not charge an extra premium for high definition. Even if you only require a standard definition DVD we will shoot the footage in HD.

You will be surprised how affordable video promotions are with Banter Media. Further, unlike any other other video production company we are based on the High Street. You can come down and help us make your video exactly what you desire it to be.







*If the type of video production you require is not listed don't worry we can still do it. Just give us a call to arrange a meeting.

Photography

We have great in-house facilities, from green screen studio work, to landscape and product photography. We also provide high quality event photography where we have an even larger team of professional photographers. If you need an event capturing or a product promoting, we can help!


Event Photography

From corporate events to wedding photography, Banter Media are the solution. Our photographic services are often coupled with either web design or video work. When you ask Banter for more than one solution, we can offer even better deals on our already unbeatable prices.

Wedding Photography



Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and you should put that day in the hands of people you can trust. The same is true of your other events - if you are putting the time and effort into getting an event right then you want someone who is prepared to go that extra mile for you to capture those moments perfectly. Banter is that company and we promise that you will not be disappointed with our services.

Studio Photography


High quality professional photography doesn't have to cost a fortune. At Banter Media you really do get value for money! Even better, when you take up another solution such as web design or video we can offer even better rates on our already low prices. Bargain!

You pay for the studio session and that's it - bring whoever you want to get involved in the shoot. This is a great opportunity to get a variety of photos whatever the requirements. The best part is you'll leave with your CD on the day so you can start enjoying the photos straight away!

If you've been searching for a mind blowing photo shoot that won't break the bank, give us a call today!

Product Photography



Whether it be a local eatery with high quality food that needs high quality photography to make it look as high quality as possible to customers that demand high quality cooking, or your glamorous new clothing range that needs models and a catwalk – Banter Media are the high quality solution. (Do you think we got the high quality point across there?)

It is very important that your products are captured in the absolute best light. Banter will take professional images and digitally treat them so that they pop with colour and vibrance.


Animation

Every animation project is completely different and unique. We specialise in 2D animation and motion comics. Our animation studios are able to create some unique and eye catching animations. See our portfolios for examples such as "Red Like Hell" and "The Rendering".

Audio Production

Welcome to Banter Studios! Whatever you need, if it involves sound, then it involves us. Here is a list of many of the services we
can offer, although if it's not listed here feel free to contact us and see what we can do for you.

  • Band/Solo artist recording
  • Song Mixing
  • Song/Album Mastering
  • Audio restoration (Old Vinyl, muffled sounding home videos etc)
  • Radio Voiceover/TV Narration
  • One-to-one tuition
  • Recording experiences
  • Film sound & Foley

If your song requires professional session musicians, we can call guitarists, bass players, backing
vocalists and drummers to arrange parts for your song.

From a simple guitar-vocal setup to a full band, everything is possible in our 24-bit 96kHz studio with 48-track mixing desk and the latest in DAW technology, nothing is impossible. And without having to pay thousands of pounds for each hardware channel, we can pass savings onto you. Where a professional studio may have cost you at least 350 pounds for a day, we can seriously undercut any offer. In fact, if you can find a professional studio with a price lower than ours, we'll match it. Promise.


Graphic Design

Our in-house graphic design department can create bespoke artwork or graphics for you. Digital design is our speciality, with illustration being a major element. We can also design and produce business cards, posters, brochures and other print media at very competitive rates.

Bespoke Artwork

Our resident graphic design team, led by Alex Singleton, can create custom artwork for any requirement.

Whatever your needs our graphic designers can create for you. If you have an idea in your mind and just need it realised then we can do that. If you have no idea of what will work best for your project then we can do all the creative work for you including creating the concept.

Our graphic design work is usually incorporated into another solution such as web design. If we are creating a web site for you and you don't have your own graphics or you want a complete re-brand then we can take all the pain away.

Branding

You logo and branding is the most important thing about your company. If the image isn't right then you might lose a lot of clients from that alone.

People DO judge a book by its cover.

And so do we! But we design those covers so we take great care and attention over them to make sure that the judgement is an impression of quality.

Whether you have a logo already and need to tweak it or are a new start up with no ideas at all. We can help you with the whole process.

Alternatively we also create completely bespoke artwork for personal and professional use.

Our lead artist is a professional comic artist, so if you need any illustrations we are the only place you need to look.

Album Artwork

So you've come to us to get your track recorded. Done. Now our engineers have mixed and mastered it for release. Done. But what are you going to give out your CD in? Doesn't look good on a blank CD, right?

Our in-house design company, can provide a bespoke graphics service to make your disc look really special. From one good photo for a CD cover, to a comprehensive package with a full inlay and extreme hand-drawn detail, anything is possible.

Print

We can print whatever you need and because our expertise also lies in the design side of things we can offer you incredible deals. From flyers and stickers to posters and brochures we can create you the perfect media to show off your brand.

Whatever your needs Banter can help, so why not come down to the studio and have a chat with us?
