Seraphim Pictures <SeraphimP>


Seraphim Pictures is an independent film & television production partnership based in Wales, UK. We have a background in events coverage and documentary production, but also have short film and music video productions in our creative portfolio. In 2006 we were accredited by the 59th Festival de Cannes for our short film "The Things Unsaid" which played at the Festival's Short Film Corner.

Soon after, we took the content and production values that had resulted in our entry to the international film market, and began developing ways of delivering the same services to the corporate sector in the UK. We believe that a promotional movie needn't break your marketing budget, and understand that there are companies out there who have traditionally been priced out of using movies as a route to market. Our goal is to deliver professional movie content to companies on a limited budget, helping them promote themselves to a larger section of their target market.

  • Fragments & Echoes

    Hi everyone,

    We've been blowing the dust off some old footage recently and came across our coverage of "Fragments & Echoes" for Community Dance Wales back in 2005.

    It seems a shame that we didn't re-use the footage after the initial coverage, given the quality of the Fragments & Echoes event.

    Having looked through the footage, we're reimagining it as the basis for another arts documentary; something we've already pitched to one of the satellite channels.

    Over the next few weeks we'll be uploading short clips from Fragments & Echoes in between the intallments for the "Behind the Line" documentary. Let us know what you think of them, as we'll be using the viewing figures to support our pitch.

  • Behind the Line: The Making of a Musical

    Dear all,

    Just a quick note to let you know that we've *finally!* been able to launch "Behind the Line: The Making of a Musical" on the Seraphim Pictures YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/seraphimpictures

    The very first documentary made by Seraphim Pictures looked behind the scenes of the 2005 production of "A Chorus Line" at the Cardiff International Festival of Musical Theatre. We've split it into six segments, one of which will be uploaded each Friday for the next six weeks.

    Unfortunately as is often the case with YouTube the sound and video are compressed to allow the video to fit online...depending on the speed of your connection and the resolution of your computer screen the footage may not be the same quality as was on the original DVD.

    If there are any major problems please let me know, and if any of you are brave enough to watch it via your mobiles I'm keen to hear the results (although I won't be held liable for the download fees!)

    Please take the time to watch and by all means tell your friends: the higher the viewing figures, the better the chance we have of launching our own-brand channel hosted by YouTube.

    Thanks for reading, happy watching, and enjoy taking a look Behind the Line ;-)

    All the best,

  • How Social Media Optimisation could benefit your business

    How Social Media Optimisation can help your business

    Sometimes we're so intent on finding "the next big thing" to promote our businesses that we often miss opportunities that are already available. Sometimes we can find a brand new marketing tool where we're not looking for it. Sometimes our social and business lives merge to add a new dimension to our marketing strategies. Speed-networking and online forums are two classic examples of this.

    One of the more recent combinations of the personal and professional is the use of online social networking communities. You may be aware of social networking communities already, but do you have any idea of their potential for marketing your business?

    Here's a brief introduction to the concept of Social Media Optimisation (SMO) and how it could work for you...



    What is social networking?

    Social networking is the use of online communities such as Myspace(TM) , Bebo(TM) and Facebook® to connect and communicate with people around the world. Its advantages to businesses include tapping into new markets and generating new business. Promoting your company across a number of these networks is known as Social Media Optimisation (SMO).

    How does Social Media Optimisation work?

    Social Media Optimisation can be thought of as a trail of breadcrumbs that leads visitors to your main website. External profiles introduce your company to the members of these online communities and advertise your products and services. Think of it as the next generation of directory listings: members are attracted to your profile by its content, and then pointed in the direction of your website.

    Can it help me with my Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?

    The short answer is YES. Most social networking communities register their members' profiles with the main search engines. The longer answer is that it depends on which networks you are a part of: different communities have different success rates with SEO. Each community does, however, have its own search engines, and your profile is optimised primarily for these.

    What other ways are there of attracting profile hits?

    Most of the communities promote profiles that are regularly updated, and members mark interesting content for other members' viewing. Regularly uploading fresh and interesting content to your profile will give it a greater chance of being noticed. An effective way of generating interest is to use your profile as the springboard for an online viral campaign. Pictures and movie clips are shared between members, so an advert could potentially reach millions via platforms such as YouTube(TM) and MyspaceTV(TM).

    Do I have to pay every time someone views my advert?

    No. Although some communities offer pay-per-click advertising services, it doesn't cost anything for a movie to spread throughout its members. Providing your advert has interesting content it could be viewed all over the world without you paying anything for global distribution!

    I'm interested, but I don't have the time to manage all these profiles...

    We can do that for you - we'll set up the profile and design it to compliment your company branding. We can even provide you with video content if you don't already have your own! For a minimum of twelve months we'll maintain the channel for you, updating any news and uploading media at your request. We'll also keep your channel clean of spam, block unwanted visitors and pro vide monthly statistics depending on which community you choose.

    How can I find out more?

    Check out our website for further information on our products and services. If you're reading this, then you're already half way towards realising the potential of SMO as a marketing tool for your business!

    Thanks for reading; we hope it's got you thinking about the possibilities of using SMO for your business.
