Projects

ECP Video was established in 1989 and Managing Director Tim Paine has worked on literally hundreds of programmes. Each programme produced is for a specific audience and is designed to meet that need. Understanding how powerful video can be we have the experience to advise on the concept, design and content of any programme. We work with writers, graphic designers, animators, composers, presenters, directors and most importantly clients to get the best out of every production.

Our in-house production facilities utilise some of the latest digital video equipment available. Recently installing an Avid Media Composer adding to the two existing edit suites. Using HD cameras, powerful editing systems - quality, speed and flexibility are paramount.

But it's not just the technology - creative input is by far the most important ingredient. The possibilities are endless when teamed up with director Tim Paine's wealth of talent and over 20 years experience.
