TechnoVisual Interactive Media

Interactive Media using the web, video and animation for video and music productions, marketing promotion and training.  TechnoVisual has highly skilled programmers and graphic artists who can help you or your company design a bespoke website and any online or computer based application.

TechnoVisual has worked with a range of clients and the projects we have been involved with vary from small bespoke web sites and design contracts to large mass produced publications.  Many of the developments and web sites we are asked to provide are done as part of a project involving the duplication, printing and selling of CDs or DVDs.  Our programmers and graphic designers can provide the content for such developments, be it video for a theatrical or music based production or a training or demonstration presentation.  Businesses have started to realise that sending out CDs or DVDs to interested clients can be a very powerful promotional tool and it does not need to be a costly operation. 

TechnoVisual has helped many small to medium size businesses put together a presentation of their product line or a demonstration of how the service they offer could be of great benefit to their clients.  Our staff will be there to offer advice and expertise throughout the project and can also help with the final selling and distribution of your product, we are able to make the production work for you by providing it in a number of formats so that it could be shown as a feature on your web site or even on public video sites such as U tube. We can also provide your project in the form of CDs or DVDs which can be packaged up with your artwork and sent out with mailshots to interested parties or sold online. 

We can host your online project and offer advise on the best way to promote your business and portray your products in their best light, ensuring optimum coverage and ultimate market success.  All for a very competitive price.  As well as bespoke websites, TechnoVisual have been tasked to design and produce enhancements to existing sites, such as flash animations, menuing systems, special effects and 3d, video, photography and DVD authoring, all to give a site that edge which will make it stand out from those of its competitors.

TechnoVisual are able to provide and manage simple commercial shop sites for selling your products.  We are set up to carry out fulfilment of orders and for those sites selling CDs or DVDs we can deal with the process all the way through, from manufacture of the CD or DVD to delivery and are always happy to offer advice on marketing and sales techniques.

TechnoVisual CD Shortrun - Short Run CD & DVD Duplication & Printing Services

More recently, the branch of the company known as TechnoVisual CD Shortrun has grown from strength to strength offering short-run, high-quality media duplication and printing services.  We can offer an array of CD and DVD duplication options and should you also require printing onto the surface of the disc and packaging for your CD or DVD project, TechnoVisual are here to advise from start to finish.  Whatever the project, we will tailor our processes to fit in specifically with your requirements.

TechnoVisual are able to offer the completed production, both as a CD or DVD ready to duplicate and package up for distribution and in a form suitable to incorporate into an existing web site or even as a YouTube or MySpace presentation.  We will also design bespoke web sites and set up small e-commerce shop sites to help you distribute the final product in order to reach a large number of customers.  We can host and manage such sites for you at an extremely competitive cost and fulfil any orders, which are generated as a result.  Perhaps you already have the artwork for your project fully completed and if this is the case we are happy to provide templates for you to use.  It is our aim to fit in with you rather than to force you to fit into any rigid parameters.

Our clients range from unsigned bands and solo artists, schools and theatre groups and many varying businesses who have produced a publication for distribution as a CD or DVD.   Such projects include  training or demonstrational presentations, software. games and videos and therapies such as meditation and hypnotherapy.  Many companies have recognised the power of directed marketing using a CD or DVD presentation or demonstration. Perhaps you would like to see your product-line set out into a structured presentation with a simple to use ‘menu’ system so that your clients can browse through at their leisure, in the comfort of their own home.  As long as your client base has access to a computer or CD or DVD player, then you are in business.   It may be that a demonstration of the service you offer is the best way to go in the form of a short video, perhaps showing a 'Before and After' type scenario. 

Our skilled staff will deal with each process including video production, photography, graphic design and DVD authoring.   You will be surprised at how little it can cost to undertake a project such as this.  As a general rule we charge no more than £30.00 per hour plus vat for any service provided.

THE BEAUTY OF 'SHORT RUN' DUPLICATION AND PRINTING

As our name suggests we specialise mainly in short-runs in house, i.e. duplication and/or printing of up to 1000 items.  However, we are also able to provide very competitive quotations for larger runs, over this quanitity, and in this case, pricing is dependent on the volume required, we offer a 10% discount on our net price for a run of  500 or more discs and a 15% discount for 1000 or more copies.  For much high volume runs the 'Replication' process is used, which involves making up a glass master of the disc, it is not economical to copy low volume runs using this method.

TechnoVisual steps in to fulfill this 'short-run' niche requirement.  We are happy to do as few units as required and as there are no real economies of scale, we charge the same for 10 discs as we would for 300.  It may be that you have already sorted out the content and require that we simply duplicate this data onto a set number of discs.  Alternatively, we are happy to print onto the face of a blank disc for you to add the content yourself and our company charge from 30p a disc for this. 

TechnoVisual does not try to disguise its charges, we always charge a  £30.00 set up for any job involving packaging with artwork, clearly because of this set up a very short run of 10 units will appear overall more expensive than a job requiring 200 units.  However, once we have your master disc and the package artwork set up on our printers and cutters, this set up will not be charged again for more copies of the same package.  

It is very easy to fall for the lure of  long run alternative when the 'per item' cost appears much cheaper and in hind-sight it is rarely a good idea if  the quantities are far in excess of that which is actually necessary.  We often hear that the details of the CD or DVD content need to be changed once feedback starts coming in from the client.  It can be very wasteful and annoying if 1000s of unusable discs or worse full packages are left on your shelves. 

TechnoVisual can offer a fast turnaround of usually no more than one working week and oftern a lot less, without compromising on quality.  TechnoVisual prides itself in offering a full prototype of your CD or DVD package for review, so that every client is completely happy with the product, before we commence production.  Even for a printed or titled disc we will scan the disc first and email this to you for your approval before starting the run.   We can offer a range of either high quality premium media and print finishes, or if your budget dictates we can offer a more standard media and print finish.  We can also supply a large range of standard and bespoke packaging including printed promotional items such as inserts, booklets and posters.   Our digipacks particularly, are very popular as we are one of very few companies in the UK who specialise in this type of packaging in very small numbers.

TechnoVisual has a large range of video and audio equipment such as; a number of HD capable cameras (HDV plus full HD), backdrops plus chroma-key screens, various recording equipment, a jib/camera hoist, dolley and tracking system and various lighting.   Once edited with the addition of any special effects, 3d animation and photography the end result will be very rewarding.
