Time to get downright sexy...




...with our video concept for new dance track Aphrodisiac by 'Russia's biggest DJ' Ivan Rouudyk.
We're currently narrowing down several rather sexy ideas for the video shoot, due to take place in late May/early June and boy are we going to blow your socks off with this one!

Think glamour, kitsch and retro sexy for what will represent a track that will no doubt end up being an Ibiza anthem this Summer....

The single also features the soulful voice our favourite disco diva, Shena Winchester whom we have worked with on numerous occasions, most notable producing the video for her disco fierce single 'Nasty Little Rumour':

Just as we did with NLR, we plan to shoot using a Red camera but this time, we're going to be strictly studio based (doing 6 locations in two days was NOT easy work!). We may, however be building a cool reversable set to realize the concept fully. We are also planning to use an animator to provide a contrasting element to the live footage. Lots to organize in just three weeks!
More details coming on this soon...

Squash Monster Madness!


Hi-Gloss completed 3 different projects for Britvic in March, the most fun of which was the filming of a series films for their Robinsons brand. We filmed former Nickelodeon presenter and Dancing In Ice star Laura Hamilton constructing three wacky monsters out of Robinsons double concentrate bottles for the launch of new kids website www.robinsonsfun.co.uk and for use on various TV spots promoting an online competition.
Having always harboured the desire to work on Blue Peter, we were thrilled to here that immortal line "Here's one I made earlier" more than once!

We were also lucky enough to take home with us the final squash Monster (pop-up puppett) made by Laura's fair hand! He's now quite at home in our flower pot watching (and in the process loosing his hair) over our two naughty Tango Gotan's whom have been rather badly behaved of late. You can hardly blame them when considering what we did to their friend last year:



TANGO GET YOUR GOTAN CAMPAIGN VIRAL:

Welcome to the New Hi-Gloss News Blog!

6 years after starting Hi-gloss Productions ltd, we've decided to change things around a little and launch our new site/show reel and this here new news blog!

For our first post, I'll get you up to scratch with what's been taking place, thus far in 2011.












In december we flew out to Denmark to shoot a rather glamorous photoshoot for skin care brand (and regular client) IMEDEEN. They in turn flew models in from Hong Kong, Brazil, The UK and the Neverlands to be photographed by top fashion photographer Steen Avald, in his rather plush studio in Copenhagen. In January we completed the edit and the film was launched in the UK, France, Japan and Portugal.
You can view the film here:

We've also been worlking with B&Q on a number of innitiatives to help turn ones home in to more of a green-friendly place...Having filmed Ellen Macarthur and Alan Titchmarch in January, we were asked to make a short film featuring new B&Q ambassadors Kirstie Allsop and George Clarke.

We also worked with Bacardi on an exclusive behind the Scenes preview of their upcoming Bacardi Manifesto film and have secured a Nationwide filming project with LG and their new 'Cinema Experience' 3D TV's...More news soon!
