Now in
their 19th year, Awfully Nice Video Company Limited
was started in 1987 when Graham Maunder and Keith Darbyshire
decided that there was room in the facilities market for a
company
that specialised in top quality ENG/EFP units.
Since then, Awfully Nice Video have worked for just about all
the top broadcasters in Great Britain as well as the main networks
in the U.S.A., Australia and Japan. Based in Greater London
they now run several units in PAL and N.T.S.C. and were one
of the first companies in Europe to take delivery of and shoot
with High Definition (HDCAM) equipment. They remain one of
the premier ENG/EFP/PSC companies in the U.K.
Having originally worked almost entirely in the television
side of the industry they have now expanded into shooting commercials
and promos using the very latest HighDef (HDCAM) technology.
Awfully Nice Video Company are also proud to be members
of the I.V.C.A. |
