| Wild Duck Productions Offer The Perfect Service For Local Churches Wild Duck Productions
With his fiancée, Davina Hughes, Tom Pearson operates a small Christian company, Wild Duck Productions, offering a wide range of services and products, many of which can support churches wishing to benefit from modern technology. These include website design, specification and hire of PA systems, DVD creation and even help in choosing broadband providers! We also advise on technical issues relating to home and business computer problems, sound systems, video recorders or DVD players and MP3 players. Previous clients and associates include Coventry Cathedral; St Mark's Church, Leamington Spa; All Saints' Church, Leek Wootton; St Nicholas' Church, Kenilworth; Churches Together in Kenilworth; Wells Cathedral; Glastonbury Abbey House; The National College of Preachers; 2K Plus international Sports Media and Nexus Academy of Music Ministry; Steve Legg (Escapologist); Rev Roly Bain (Clown) and even UK Chart topping band Nizlopi. From mid August - by then as a married couple! - their business will move its operating base from Warwick to Beeston, Nottingham. Relocating is a challenge so to 'prepare the way' they is contacting local church leaders to advise them of the services they will soon be able to offer on a local basis. "We take special pleasure in fulfilling what we see as our Christian vocation to serve church communities and individual Christians by offering specialist services at competitive prices," says Tom. In a letter to local churches that will be sent out this week he highlights a few of the areas where they have already been able to support church ministry. Website design Many churches wish to establish an 'online presence'; others may have a website which might benefit from being updated with the latest presentation techniques and formats. We can work with you to design a website from scratch, update an existing one or design a mini site to highlight a specific event or group. Our comprehensive package would even include advising on hosting, domain names (the www.NAME) and email. Voice and Data The market place offers a confusing array of products but our independent advice will follow a careful assessment of your needs. Whether it is a telephone service or broadband provider, we will review not only the equipment that will meet your needs but also the service and support you can expect. Similarly we can advise on PC (or laptop) specification in a field which is constantly extending your choice. We will order PCs and software at the best prices and can install both the hardware and software for you! We are able to diagnose, offer advice on and resolve a range of computer and network problems as well as related technical problems. Single and Multi-Camera Filming Video recordings of important church events are a great way to document the life of the local Christian community. Sadly many well-meaning attempts at producing them prove a disappointment. So we will plan and film your event, creating either a record of a special day or producing a fully edited programme. We have experience in filming dramas, education/training material, meetings, services and special events - both indoor and outdoor. We use state-of-the-art technology and will shoot on domestic to broadcast quality formats, from MiniDV to DigiBeta! We can also provide live video coverage, so if you are planning a big service in a restricted space and want to ensure everyone gets a good view, or want to relay an activity from one room/location to another, we can set up and run the perfect system for you. Post Production We can create educational programmes with interactive menus (DVD format only), edit footage from past events and create on screen graphics. We can edit promos, author DVDs or record to VHS, MiniDV, DVCam, DVC, Beta, DigiBeta! Presentation Creation How about a short presentation to advertise your meeting, promote an event or to introduce your church or one of its organisations? We can produce high quality video/DVD visual aid materials to complement the spoken word - which itself could be pre-recorded and synchronised with accompanying visuals. Equally, more informal presentations, perhaps running during coffee after church, can generate interest and provide information! The options are endless! Whether projected on to a big screen or played as a tailor-made presentation with video, audio, images and text, we can make it happen with you. Public Address Systems We can provide sound system for small and large venues, indoors and out, with adapters for almost any input. Unlike many companies we also take great care with our audio output; we don't 'blast noise out' to the front row and leave the back row straining to hear, we adjust the output of a each speaker individually and engineer each input throughout an event to ensure the highest quality sound is provided. Forgive the boast but we have yet to attend an event where we have not been told that ours is the best it has ever sounded! We have provided sound systems for bands, talks, services, fetes and missions - indoors or outdoors, the quality of production will always be excellent. And for your peace of mind... we carry public liability, and both we, as operators, and our equipment are fully insured. Our prices are competitive and we like to think that we are hard to beat both for quality and value for money. Being a small company our overheads are low which enables us to offer a service that we believe is exceptional value. You might say we see ourselves as a small company with a big vision and ready to share our experience and technical gifts to enable others to fulfil their visions. |
