Pageant Productions

Pageant Productions We are a video production business based in Dorset and produce video for a diverse range of clients Welcome, my name is Gary and I’m a filmmaker.

Video is a highly effective way to engage with people, tell a story and is one of the most effective forms of content marketing. I do a lot of work in the voluntary sector making evaluation films, films for funding applications and profile raising films. I have worked on a variety of projects for different organisations including the NHS, the Department for Work and Pensions and the YMCA. I believ

e in using film to empower marginalised groups and I pride myself on articulating the voices of “real people” in many of the films I make.

CALL OUT FOR HELPFUL HUMANS!
We are still on the lookout for some extra pairs of hands and smiles for next week's exhibition at the High Angle Battery. We are a small (but cleverly formed!) team, and so without our fantastic volunteers, our FREE events can't really happen! If you can spare a few hours next week June 26-29, to help steward our exhibition, we will be eternally grateful. Fancy helping out? Contact [email protected]

In Ringwood yesterday, we spent a peaceful and inspiring morning by the river with Year 8 students from Ringwood School as part of the River of Hope project. Pupils worked alongside poet Matt West to devise original poetry inspired by the natural surroundings — and we, of course, captured it all on film. A beautiful setting, brilliant ideas, and thoughtful conversations made for a lovely shoot.

Today we’re up at High Angle Battery, capturing the brilliant Steve Wallis for giving a talk on the history of this impressive site.

For the last couple of weeks at filmmaking club, members have been learning and working on motion graphics that they can use in a comicstrip style superhero film they will be making. Today we finished off and tested the "Adam West" style fight graphics. Each member has made their own version and worked on the animation and look themselves. We've put them together in a little test video.

Learn more about us

Welcome to our page! Based in Dorset, we produce video for a diverse range of clients. We work with individuals, businesses, schools and specialise in production work for voluntary and public sector organisations. This work includes evaluation films, films for funding applications, training films and videos that raise the profile of organisations and the projects they run.

We believe in using video and filmmaking to empower marginalised groups and pride ourselves on articulating the voices of “real people” in many of the films we make.

When Pageant Productions first began, we worked in the theatre industry providing technical production support, but it wasn’t long before we started offering video production services as well. In 2011 the video production side of things took over when for the next few years we spent the majority of our time filming and live streaming poker tournaments throughout Europe. We learned a lot about live streaming but we wanted to do more and in 2014 we began working for Access Dorset, a disability rights charity in Bournemouth. This diverse work quickly took over from poker and our work with Access Dorset opened our eyes to the possibilities and opportunities there were to use video as a tool for bringing communities together, engaging with people and giving those on the fringes of society a voice. Our kind, flexible and empathic way of working, combined with a growing knowledge of health and social care systems help us work with the disabled, disenfranchised and vulnerable people. These are skills we have developed and continue to develop as time goes on. In the last few years we have expanded the work we do in the voluntary sector working with a wide range of organisations offering production services, training, service user workshops, closed captioning, BSL interpretation and much more. Although we don’t limit our customer base, voluntary and public sectors have become sectors we specialise in.
