TV Commercials Production

TV commercials - DRTV - Animation & Motion Graphics - Post Production

 

Happy Hour Productions Ltd is one of the leading TV commercial production companies in the South West. We have been producing commercials for over 5 years, ranging from high budget commercials for National TV campaigns for named brands and cinema commercials shown before features, to short run commercials for regional TV transmission. View our reel below.

 

Whatever your available budget, whether you need to be on air in 4 weeks or 6 months, filming in South Africa or Weston-Super-Mare, we will provide you with the same professional, attentive and creative service.

 

What makes us different?

Other than the obvious – the stunning imagery, the desire to make every project look like there is an extra 0 on the budget and our wide range of production experience – we have been told that we are especially good to work with for the following reasons:

  • Our ability and willingness to turn commercials around in a crazy time scale.
  • Production Quality! - we are a multi award winning production company, working at the highest level of the industry.
  • Our ‘No problem’ attitude to last minute changes to the brief or schedule
  • Our pro-active approach to projects in the early stages – we will happily research and work out a best approach for a commercial prior to any engagement of services (even if you are still in the pitching stage) – no obligation! It’s much more important to us that we build an ongoing relationship with you.
  • The importance we place on running a happy ship and creating an enjoyable environment to work in.
  • Our double jointed backs – we’ll bend over backwards to help you out of any sticky situations

Whether you are an advertising agency researching for a client, or a marketing manager from the company itself, you will be looking for a production company to provide a swift turnaround, to present a strong creative treatment, to research and source items and present you with the entire approach in the pre production meeting.

 

At Happy Hour we pride ourselves on having the talent and experience to compete with London based production companies...but without the London prices. On average we have found our production budgets on a 'like for like' basis are approx. 20 - 30% lower than our London counterparts. Being based in Bristol, the media centre of the South West and arguably England's second city for TV and film production, we have access to the highest level of production facilities and crew, albeit with cleaner air and a more relaxed environment!

 

 

With 6 directors attached to Happy Hour - including award winning feature film directors and BAFTA nominees - we can cater for almost any kind of commercial, whether it is a Direct Response TV ad, or a Brand Response commercial with special fx co-ordination, oversees shoots, animation or live action, time slice or pixilation, 35mm film or HD video...the list really does go on and on.

Post production and re-versioning commercials

Producing TV commercials is different from most other production mediums. There are certain rules and regulations to follow that dont apply to other broadcast productions or the corporate sector. In particular, ITC and BACC regulations on legal text size, plus hold durations on screen, are a must. We have extensive experience in dealing with BACC, and with ensuring the post production adheres the all the guidelines.

 

Our reversioning and backup services offer cost effective future proofing and editing of existing adverts, especially useful for financial commercials that require regular changes of legal text.

 

Reversioning:

  • Extensive experience in editing financial services commercials
  • Casting and handling VO re-recording and mixing
  • Legals updates, all to ITC regulation and on screen times
  • We regularly submit to BACC on behalf of our clients as a one-stop-shop service
  • Up to date BACC and ITC regulations checked on every project
  • Dispatch of commercial copy tapes to transmission sites
  • Digital archiving of textless masters and versions for easy future proofing

All TV commercials have to be submitted to the BACC for approval before they can be broadcast. We have extensive experience in editing commercials for TV, and regularly submit commercials to the BACC on behalf of our clients. Commercials requiring legal text on screen especially need close attention. We ensure the ad complies with the current guidelines and specifications.
