Sitting in the office with nothing to do? Waiting for the office Christmas party to start?

Well here are a few things to raise a bit of Christmas cheer (no alcohol needed)

1 - Check out our brand new website
yes after many many, many years of having a one page website, we've gone and blown the budget on a brand spanking new shiny state of the art new website. Check it here.

2 - Have a go at our Christmas competition

Why Brands Should Embrace Video

''Increasingly more and more digital publishers are eager for video content and are using it to accompany a story.  And there’s a simple reason why… video is keeping audiences on websites for longer as they continue to engage with the media rich content on offer.'' says Broadcast.com

Here's one we made earlier for start-up sports brand Elivar

We got a mention in Screen International!

Euan, our principle video editor here at Hazel May's Ltd, is starting an edit on a horror feature called 'Razors'

A trailer he cut has already aroused interest at Cannes last month, and the production company Magic Mask are meeting distributors in August.

We'll let you know how it goes...

Lots of work has been done in our busy little office recently (not just visits to cat cafe's!) ,

Happy New Year

2013 was an amazing year for us at Hazel May's, one of the busiest we have ever had, and it ended in great excitement as we were involved in the research and licensing for the Google 2013 Zeitgeist Film.

Earlier in the year too we were asked to find everything from images to be included as background visuals for the Kanye West Yeezus tour, to images of swimming pigs...

...to family and friends holiday snaps for the back end of buses (and national press).

In the edit suite too we have never been busier with our team of top editors and animators creating high end work for pitch's, brand meetings, award entries, conference videos, sizzle reels, case study's, and we also filmed and edited a little promotional web film...

and created an animated graphic for De Montfort University.

So a big thank you to all our clients old and new, and a very happy new year to you all.
