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:

experience in editing financial services commercials

and handling VO re-recording and mixing

one-stop-shop service

Dispatch

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.
