We shoot on a variety of formats: DV, DVCAM and HD and direct to HDD as required and our main camera is the versatile Sony Z1 camcorder.

In addition to camera equipment, our grip department also carries the Glidecam V-16 stabilizing system, the NX1 camera crane with Microdolly Powerhead which allows for shots up to 15 feet high and car-mounting rigs for inboard and outboard vehicle shots.

Crew size is tailored to the job, so you can be sure the right expertise is available to get the best results for your project.

Post-production is handled on a twin Xeon PC, using PremierePro, Audition and Encore, resulting in output to HDV, DV, DVCAM, VHS and authoring onto DVD or CD-ROM.

The studio is also equipped with a voice-over recording booth for that final professional touch and music scoring can be provided using specialist composers or the SonicFire Pro music composition software.

Chard House Media, together with Gemini Production Services, has opened a stills and video studio near Funtington in West Sussex.

The working space features a 6m wide by 8m deep by 4m tall white infinity cyclorama which can be converted in moments to a 'black box' set. Chromakey facilities are also available using traditional methods or new reflective LED technology.

The studio may be booked as a bare space or with a variety of lighting and camera equipment, backed by a team of experienced operators.

Chard House Media also has extensive experience in other fields of the media.

As technology advances, so older media has become obsolete but programmes can be transferred from their original format onto DVD or processed for use on the web. CHM can undertake this digital reprocessing.

For many years CHM have provided bespoke sound effects and foley mixes for clients in stage and live events.

We are based in Portsmouth, Hampshire and are happy to cover the Gosport and Lee on Solent area together with Southampton, Basingstoke, Romsey, Winchester, Aldershot and Alton.
