New Web Site

2011-11-19T21:12:00.000Z

As a video production company, we're only too aware of how fast things move in this industry. That's why it's all change here at Nostairway Media.

Our new web site, under development with http://www.freddietaylor.net is almost ready.

We've separated the pages into 3 categories, Video, Audio and Music.

This is to reflect our 3 core services.

Video production has really taken off with Nostairway and with web-video going stratospheric, we decided to make this our leading service page.

But Audio Production is our bread and butter. We've done more voice over recordings, ADR, post audio mixes, surround sound mixes and sound designs than you can shake a microphone at and we intend to build on the reputation acquired for our work in this field.

Possibly the most interesting news this year is that Nostairway Media now has a music label. Over the coming months we'll be introducing you to some amazing new music. If you are a singer and you think you should be heard, send us your links.!!

So keep your eyes peeled for the new site, coming to a computer or mobile device near you next week!

Born In A...Music Studio?

2011-06-07T16:21:00.000+01:00

The studio is currently filled with sounds of electric guitars, snares & symbols, american passion, hearty lyrics and one iconic voice - Any guesses as to which artist is currently be blared out in our Studio?

Bob Dylan perhaps? Or Tom Petty?

Its neither...

It is non other than Bruce Springsteen with his classic rock anthems. We've listened to many Springsteen songs for a potential upcoming project from: hard core American rock like Born in the USA, to the more mellow sounds of Streets of Philadelphia. Its not hard to say most of his songs have become iconic songs that most of us recognise and an integral part of modern day musical culture.

Have you got a favourite Springsteen track? What makes a classic anthem for you? We would love to hear what you think so tweet us @nostairway

Studio in full Swing...

2011-05-24T16:03:00.002+01:00

Studio update from Nostairway as we begin production on Daniella's new single. We've had great anticipation and feedback on our twitter feeds @nostairway and @daniellaljones from Daniella's fans on her upcoming music. We hope they are as excited as we are to be working on new music production for Daniella. I am also excited to announce that plans are also under way to shoot a stylish music video for Daniella which will involve live musicians.

Update from editing suite as we have worked through over a whopping 18 hours of HD Footage from the Sportscal Event at Clifford Chance. There was lots of great stuff that we captured throughout the event and the edited footage should be up on our website soon so keep a look out for that!

We are also excited about documentaries on two famous artists, that Nostairway is currently working on so watch this space for more news on that, as that is shaping up to be pretty awesome.

Phew, that was a lot to cover and Im pretty sure Nostairway studio's will get even more busy! As always keep checking back on the blog for more news unfolding on our various productions.

To see a list of our work and clients we have worked with in the past from BBC to Sportscal check out our website: http://www.nostairway.com

Filming at Sportscal 20th Anniversary

2011-05-17T16:48:00.002+01:00

Adrenaline fuelled times here at Nostairway as we were busy filming at the exclusive Clifford Chance headquarters in Canary Wharf for Sportscal 20th Anniversary. The day event consisted of talks and panel session from a variety of sport, media, cultural and banking experts. With so much knowledge and information being exchanged Nostairway, in association with Deltatre, was first hand, in capturing the event from every angle and now we are busy editing all the respective footage.

One lesson that we learnt from the event was the importance of social networking. In this current computer, netbook and smartphone literate climate, social networking seems to be quite a force in each business environment, helping to reach out to the masses productively and instantly. We at Nostairway hope that our use of social networking such as this blog or our twitter @nostairway helps to draw attention to our business and also inform people about the workings of a busy production team right from the heart of the studio.

Keep checking back on the blog for more information of Nostairway’s work.

Post D-Media Event at BAFTA

2011-04-05T15:24:00.001+01:00

Hello! Allow me to introduce myself. Im Sabrina, Hi! I started working for Nostairway 6 weeks ago alongside Peter and already I have worked on voiceover recordings, editing footage and also worked at the amazing D-Media Global Conference held at BAFTA!

This time last week, Peter and I were running around BAFTA trying to capture the whole event from talks & seminars from key industry people to networking sessions and promoting new digital software. We had an amazing time and its crazy to think that this was classed as "work" for us! :)

Check out our website http://www.nostairway.com/ or http://www.d-media-network.com/ to see the brand new awesome video of the interview with Government Minister Ed Vaizey that we worked on.

Right Im off to edit some more footage from the event including an interview with CEO of D-Media Gina Fegan talking about the future of D-Media. It should be up on the website soon so look out for it....

Till the next blog stay shiny!

Sabrina.

Music Music Music

2011-02-19T12:28:00.000Z

Nostairway is on a mission to get more original music out there.

For this reason we have one important message:

Documentary makers, you won't win any awards using library music.

Vocal tips competition

2010-12-10T19:50:00.000Z

We've been running a competition. Send in you tips to improve your vocals, singing or spoken, and one of you will win an hour in the NSM booth

Here's a great one from Harriet Thomas

Everything, including singing, starts with a thought. Before you sing a note, think! Imagine the note travelling through your body from your guts to your mouth, imagine how that note is going to sound before you sing it. If there's a singer you want to emulate, be that person in your head.

Thanks Harriet

Voice over month

2010-11-08T22:26:00.000Z

It's voice over month at NSM.

Here's a helpful tip for voice over artists:

When you need to add a little sparkle to a voice over, even if you can't be seen, try smiling.

It makes all the difference, honest.

http://www.nostairway.com

Are you looking to record a voice over?

2010-10-28T23:09:00.001+01:00

Tip for the week:

Viewers will not tell you that the standard of your narration isn't good enough. they will simply look elsewhere. They probably don't even know that the voice over was done on the cheap, they just wont watch again next week.

Video is all around us. Quality is what will make yours stand out from the crowd and that means sound as well as fancy graphics and a CGI

http://www.nostairway.com/voiceover.html

Videos a go-go

2010-10-28T22:57:00.000+01:00

Nostairway Media has been very busy creating lots of shiny new videos. Music promos, Motoring news videos or even adverts. Take a look. http://www.nostairway.com/video.html
