Dean Allen-Craig Media Services

With every service we offer at Dean Allen-Craig Media, our goal is simple - to make you look good.

Based on 30 years experience in broadcast news and corporate communications, we offer a unique combination of Video Production and Post Production, Video News Releases, Audio News Releases, Media Training, TV reporting and live event hosting and presentation. If you are planning a video production for your business,  government department or not-for-profit organisation, we will work closely with you to understand your aims, objectives and audience. We will develop creative concepts to bring your projects to life. This applies to video presentations for live events such as AGMs, award nights, public meetings or investor road shows and applies equally to video clips for websites, social media platforms as well as TV and Cinema advertising.

We also work with individuals who need personal video production support for events such as weddings, significant birthdays or anniversaries, even producing completed video presentations from their own travel photos and videos. One of our special skills is the ability to interview people who are not used to being on camera. We put our 'talent' at ease and give them plenty of time to present their message. We also provide Auto Cue / Prompt facilities for those wanting to present straight to camera but feel they cannot ad-lib or remember their entire presentation.

As part of our suite of Video Production tools we offer Green Screen shooting techniques that enable us to place our on-camera talent into any virtual environment.  This can be as simple as a graded colour backdrop for a corporate presentation - through to a virtual TV studio with a variety of images and text digitally inserted in Post Production. We offer Drone Camera facilities with highly experienced and fully licensed Drone pilots operating high-def 4K camera equipment. The shots we get with these outstanding cameras and a drone are truly stunning. They are ideally used for real estate features, golf courses, farming environments and aerials of city skylines and freeways.

Our Media Training course is highly sought after by spokespeople from all walks of life. Being interviewed by TV, radio or print journalists can be an intimidating experience and we offer practical training to give you a very realistic experience of dealing with the media. We base our training on our many years working in the world of broadcast news, we offer real insights into the way newsrooms and reporters work, why they approach a story in the way they do and we give you practical tips to help you handle tricky questions and stick to your message. Your reputation can take years to develop and can be destroyed in just moments in the media spotlight. Just a few hours of Media Training is one of the best investments you can make.

Our Video News Release service offers you the ability to provide your story to TV newsrooms with the interviews and the overlay footage professionally shot and edited by us.  We manage all of this from start to finish and we deliver the Video News Release package to TV newsrooms locally, nationally and internationally. We help you craft the message to gain maximum news interest and we contact each TV newsroom directly to ensure they are fully informed about the story on the day of the feed.
