Blog - We're busy and we love it!
Mynt Media Ltd provides video production, social media management and website design.
Our ‘micro-documentary’ about the artist Francine, who lives and works at Ogmore-by-sea. Francine explains her relationship with the landscape and the sea and tells us about her recent adventure, ‘The Iceland Project’. She travelled around Iceland gathering inspiration producing photographs and sketches for larger canvasses. This work is currently on exhibition at the Icelandic Embassy in Kensington, London.
Two of a series of videos designed specifically for social media posting. It's part of our "20-20 Vision" concept where we produce original video content for social media campaigns. On JP’s website and YouTube channel, longer versions of these videos will provide more detail about their courses.
As part of their rebranding and new website, CVT Travel commissioned a series of videos to promote particular travel packages. Exciting project.
Impressionistic promotional video content for the School of Biosciences.
Thanks to Bristol Zoo and Wild Space, and drone footage by Anthony Barber, Antea Photography.
A simple video for Acorn Developments to show a current stage in the development of The Links, on the site of the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, into luxury accommodation. Another adventure with Anthony Barber of Antea Photography and his magic drone.
Probably the most fun we’ve had this year. We had an exciting brief from PK Safety to shoot several videos for their new product, ‘Stop n Go’ safety gloves. It involved pulling out all the stops with locations, actors, drone, props, costumes, original soundtrack compositions… the works.
We cut sales videos for presentations and short social media versions for their online campaign.
We are currently building sequences for a company video for Foxtree Services gradually documenting the wide variety of jobs they handle. Here's a rough cut of some footage taken in the Towy Valley where they had to get rid of twelve diseased ash trees.
GLJ are metal recyclers and exporters with three sites in South Wales. We produced a company video for exposure on their website and a shorter marketing video (see post above). We used two drone teams and elevated mast footage as well as the usual ground crew.
Another video for JP Training promoting their Streetworks courses.
A short sting promo for social media. New opportunities for 2018.
A "Thank You" to Anthony Barber of Antea Photography who help us on our GLJ shoot at Barry Docks, providing elevated footage. Using his combination of customized mast and drone, Anthony can achieve first class results for anyone requiring overhead stills and video.
This is an example of two businesses collaborating using video as their promotional content.
One business manufactures furniture paint, the other stocks and sells their products. Both get valuable exposure as the stockist's business is strongly featured and the quality and popularity of the manufacturer's products endorsed in this video testimonial.
Each business can use this video content on their websites as well as posting on their respective social media platforms.
We are currently producing various promotional videos for Cardiff University and this video is an edit for posting on Instagram. Cardiff Uni are targeting 17-18 year olds looking for a place to study. Now that Instagram have extended the permitted running time of videos from 15 seconds to 60 seconds, it provides greater opportunity for exposing your social media video content to a largely younger audience. Instagram users are often younger - teenagers up to 30's are well represented, so we provided this sub 60-second edit mainly for this platform.
On the subject of social media, here are some interesting user figures from www.rosemcgrory.co.uk:
UK users estimated for 2017:
Facebook: 32m - Twitter: 20m - Instagram: 14m - LinkedIn: 21m
But it is important to consider the demographic of these users to determine which platforms are better to expose your content. Age and gender are of particular relevance.
Rabart Decorators Merchants have eight stores around the UK and are firm believers in the power of using video posts in their social media strategy. Over the past 18 months, we have used video in many short forms for Rabart, from simple slideshows to customer testimonials and particular store and product promotions. At all times we aim to keep the content short and informative so that viewers will learn something positive about Rabart's products and services. Combined with growing video collections on dedicated You Tube channels for each store, our video content has been used widely on many social platforms. All very nice, however, the main aim of this whole strategy thing is to increase footfall in the stores and improve sales. On those products that we have produced specific targeted campaigns, the like-for-like sales, compared to the same period in 2015, have increased by nearly 30%. Our continued use of video will now extend to a varied and continuous output of "How To" videos highlighting special purpose products and decorating tips offering insight and value to Rabart's customers.
Cardiff's premier fine dining caterer feeds over a thousand hungry supporters, guests and players at the big derby game between Blues & Dragons. A huge operation handled with precision. It was one of the tastiest matches of the season.
Our upland rivers are our most valuable natural resource. We collaborated with Duress (based at Cardiff University) and our pal Dr Rhys Jones ("Rhys Jones's Wildlife Patrol" BBC1) to produce a brief awareness video 'trailer'. We need to think about how we want our rivers to be managed.
They don't get more satisfied than this. Llynfi Lane Garage, Bridgend have lots of happy customers.
Everything you need for decorating - inside and out at Rabart Decorators Merchants.
At the Introbiz Expo there were over 5,000 hungry visitors all needing to be fuelled. SPIROS fine dining caterers rose to the challenge. Legend SUGGS from MADNESS dropped by for some top scram!
Tim English - to hold titles of 'Nicest Chap in the World' as well as 'Amazing Accountant' takes some doing, but Tim does both with ease. Of course we'd say that, well, here's proof from a few others.
