CC-Lab produces films for broadcast, DVD, online and theatrical release. We cover everything from low budget productions shot on DV and post-produced in house right through to major live productions shot in High Definition.
We specialise in music and documentary programming, and recent productions have been seen in the UK on Channel 4, MTV and ITV1. We are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of advertiser funded programming, having produced projects for Orange, Nike, Smirnoff, Xbox, Sony and BT.
Our live music coverage has seen us film performances by some of the world’s biggest artists across a range of genres: in the past couple of years we have filmed The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Dizzee Rascal, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Duran Duran, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Foo Fighters, NERD, The Prodigy, Kelis, Pet Shop Boys, Paul Weller and Kelly Rowland.
We have produced TV coverage of the Isle of Wight Festival every June since 2004, setting new standards for festival coverage with an innovative approach that combines stunning live footage shot in high definition with documentary material capturing the atmosphere of the festival season’s traditional kick off event.
We have worked with Rob da Bank and Sunday Best since 2005 to create an equally innovative, but very different, approach for Bestival. Our coverage of Bestival has doubled with two one hour specials broadcast on Channel 4.
As well as our music programming we have partnered with Nike to create programmes for broadcast and online. In 2005 we made a one hour documentary for broadcast across Europe by MTV as part of Nikewomen’s Take Sport, Add Music campaign. More recently we have created short films for online use as part of the Joga Bonito World Cup campaign and are currently in production on more content for Nikefootball.com.
Our feature length documentary work includes three films. Finisterre and What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? were made in collaboration with the band St Etienne. The third, Vashti Bunyan: From Here To Before is about the singer songwriter Vashti Bunyan. The film received its World Premiere at The Times BFI 52ND London International Film Festival, has gone on on to play at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen and HOT DOCS in Toronto.
