CC-Lab produces programmes 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 BBC1. We are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of advertiser funded programming, having produced projects for Nokia, Nike, O2, Jack Daniels and BT.
Recently we have begun producing branded content for online distribution, both through branded websites and through sites like YouTube and MySpace.
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 year we have filmed Foo Fighters, Coldplay, The Prodigy, Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys, Paul Weller and Mel C.
We have produced TV coverage of the Nokia Isle of Wight Festival since 2004, setting new standards for festival coverage with an innovative approach that combined stunning live footage shot in high definition with documentary material capturing the atmosphere of the festival season’s traditional kick off event.
We worked with Jack Daniels and Sunday Best to create an equally innovative, but very different, approach for Bestival. In 2006 our coverage of Bestival doubled with two one hour specials broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK one week after the event. We are currently producing JD Set Lounge for Jack Daniels and 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 campaign in the run up to the World Cup, and are currently in production on more content for Nikefootball.com.
Our feature length documentary work has included two films made with the band St Etienne. Finisterre is a film about London which has played at festivals around the world and been released on DVD. The recent film What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? looked at London’s Lower Lea Valley, site of the 2012 Olympics. It sold out a recent run at the Barbican cinema.
Other work in 2006 includes the BT Digital Music Awards for Channel 4, O2 Undiscovered for Channel 4 and a series of short films for Smirnoff & The Electric Cabaret for online distribution.
Just Add Moves was a advertiser funded programme broadcast on MTV and funded by Nike as part of their Take Sport Add Music campaign.
CC-Lab devised and produced the show which was broadcast on across various MTV channels and distributed on a DVD given away with 150,000 copies of More magazine.
CC-Lab produced coverage of the Nokia Isle of Wight Festival for the third year running, with headline acts Foo Fighters, Coldplay and The Prodigy.
The fifth year of the BT Digital Music Awards was its second year on TV, this year coming from the newly restored Roundhouse in Camden in London.
A series of five films commissioned by Nike as part of their World Cup Joga Bonito campaign which featured major football stars. The films were broadcast on Sky Sports 1 and screened in Odeon cineams as well as showing on Nikefootball.com and Sky bybroadband.
Last stop for Year One of the Smirnoff Experience… New York. After the massive success of Paris we fully had to be on it. What else to do in the home of hip hop.
CC-Films produce Kieran Evans’ documentary feature film about the singer songwriter Vashti Bunyan. The film received its World Premiere at The Times BFI 52ND London International Film Festival and goes on to play at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen between 13th and 16th November 2008.
