Simon Morice’s Summary

i-catching movies is a video post production facility based in Southampton, Hampshire UK.

We are experienced broadcast editors who are taking advantage of the benefits that recent evolutions in technology have brought. Our work comprises a wide variety of projects from TV programmes, documentaries, comedy, corporate films through to presented profiles.

Limitations of cost imposed by the older analogue and tape based video are diminished by emerging technologies. To get the benefit from them, new workflow must be invented and it is here that we have focused our effort. With planning and reduced waste more than ever of your budget can reach the screen.

New tools plus new workflow have enabled us to work cost effectively with the intelligence of documentary, at the speed of news and with the production values of features.
