CLAi CutUp Reel Assembly

The CLAi Corporate CutUp Reel.

As Rob Gordon says in High Fidelity – “The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don’t wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules.”  A production company’s showreel is exactly the same thing, there are a lot of rules, and you want to break as many as possible to stand out from the crowd.  A corporate reel is even trickier…

CLAi have been making corporate video programs of all sizes, all budgets and all types for over 25 years and in that time we have discovered that it’s impossible to show examples of every product and service that we have covered in that time, and every approach we have taken to showing them.  So, instead, we have opted to show a range of images that cover a spectrum of styles and subjects that show our versatility and ability to fashion an individual solution to every business opportunity our clients may be faced with.  Hopefully these also demonstrate something of the CLAi style and creativity we bring to each project, and the quality that we believe every project deserves – regardless of budget or time available.

Of course, it is all about quality, expertise and experience which is best appreciated from these images and the testimonials that we have included from our clients…
