Experience married to uniquely individual attention
 
pixelscope is a mobile video production service that combines expertise and experience. Every project maintains the involvement of the same production contact from begining to end, so that original visions remain true.
 
Who makes the videos?
Brian Dick worked in film and television for
over 30 years, following technical training in
the BBC model in all areas of studio and
outside broadcast production, as a teenager.
 
Nominated for a Lottery Award and funded
by Northern Ireland Screen, his recent short film The Journey examines the gulf that exists for many between homelessness and settled living.
 
Since Black Champagne (24th London
Film Festival Selection), he has made many promotional videos with a social and community theme, recently producing
training and promotion videos for PIPS
(suicide prevention charity), as well as promotional projects for his local Council.
 
Pixelscope is currently producing a fourth promotional DVD for Newry & Mourne
Borough Council.
 
With a Diploma from The London
International Film School and a long career
in film and broadcast television behind him, Brian was a founding trainer for the first
intake year of Tyneside's North East Media Training Centre.
 
At one time an NUJ journalist reporting
from the European Parliament, Brian has
also written for a wide range of titles, from Amnesty Magazine on religious fundamentalism and human rights to the
lighter issues frequently featured in the
pages of the US title Good Dog or Dogs
Today in England.
 
Today it is Brian's wish to work with socially committed groups and individuals, using his expertise and experience to help them explain and promote the work they do to targeted audiences more effectively.

RARE Awards
'Brian didn't just deliver and disappear, he made sure that everything was right first' 
Newry & Mourne Borough Council.
 
pixlelscope prices depend on the medium of delivery. High definition broadcast masters are beyond the range of the groups I would work with, because I have to add the hire cost of hardware.
 
Non-broadcast and standard definition media (such as DVDs and PowerPoint files) are within the reach of every group, for I can use what is already at my disposal: a professional 3-chip camcorder and a comprehensive range of software.
 
A single, graphic-based DVD may cost as little as £200.
