VIDEO
Using the latest digital video camera technology and lenses, zirkus shoot outstanding images with a minimum crew, keeping production costs down. For all projects the footage is treated and enhanced to provide the best possible results for any given delivery platform. Extensive alpha and beta testing is carried out prior to delivery.

We also offer full pre-production services prior to filming including scripting, storyboarding and recces. zirkus also advise on choice of format, location, voiceover, artist and audio treatment in order to raise production standards regardless of budget. Shooting on a variety of digital formats ensures the optimum image quality with lossless transfer to our edit suites.

POST PRODUCTION
More than just cutting clips into the right order, editing should be a creative process, supporting the narrative, flow and tempo of any programme type. zirkus also provide a resolution independent graphics and compositing facility where original artwork, titles, animation, motion graphics, motion tracking and colour correction are all part of the service.

WEB
zirkus bring together the most talented designers and programmers to deliver internet solutions to engage the target audience. We offer creative Flash front end design, clean functional html, rich online content such as games & animation fused with back end programming enabling content managed sites and
e-commerce solutions that work 24/7.

Viral marketing is increasingly taking over from offline advertising and anything that gets your customers hooked is our speciality. From entertaining Flash games to online product demos, we can encourage word of mouth advertising, creating a viral effect where your customers do the marketing for you. All the while your site will glean valuable marketing information enabling further fun content such as ecards, ezines so be sent to your database, keeping them informed and coming back for more.

Viral marketing can harness the network effect of the internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of people rapidly. This is often sponsored by a brand, which is looking to build awareness of a product or service. These viral commercials often take the form of funny video clips, interactive flash games, advergames or images - all at a relative low cost (compared to direct mail), good targeting, and the high and rapid response rate.

So if you want to develop a blog, a podcast, a live web stream of your latest product launch, well that’s what we do. The internet is an entertainment platform. zirkus battle to keep it that way.

GAMES
zirkus like to make things. we especially love to make (and play!) games.

Whether a touch screen kiosk, CD Rom or online Flash game we love to get your product or service noticed throught the power and interactivity of games. Incorporating high score tables, email a friend incentives, knowledge supported quizzes we can create games that are educational for public bodies and also product based games that are ideal for viral campaigns.

Our games appeal to audiences of all ages. We have recently developed games and quizes for Coors, Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, Heritage & Museum Service and Ulster-Scots Agency.

PROGRAMMING
At zirkus we like to make sure the programming is every bit as creative as the visuals. No two projects or clients are the same, everything we make is custom built. To do this zirkus use hugely talented and creative programmers. From asp to .NET, actionscript to lingo we have it covered.

DVD
For full screen video playback, clarity of sound and user interaction DVD is quickly establishing itself as the preferred global delivery format for domestic, industrial and business use. zirkus author DVDs for a range of applications such as training, kiosk, corporate video and speaker support.

DESIGN
Image is king and good design does something more than get a message across or fulfil a task, it has to go beyond that and evoke an emotive response. Not only do zirkus know how to push peoples buttons, we enjoy doing it.

PRESENTATION KIOSK
Sometimes the pitch or presentation is far bigger than a generic powerpoint slideshow, or sometimes your event, show or stand needs more than a laptop running your website to attract passing contacts. zirkus know how to attract and hold attention.

CD ROM
CD Rom is a useful and cost effective medium for reaching a wide audience. zirkus have produced a wide range of interactive CDs covering annual reports, research reports, educational resources and sales presentations.

ANIMATION
Animation brings visuals to life, sets pace & tempo, and conveys motion, meaning and personality. This includes Flash, compositing, 3D animation, title sequences and motion graphics.

AUDIO
Pictures only tell half the story. From recording, editing and sound design to music scores, ringtones and sound idents, zirkus approach audio with the same creative passion as visuals.
