Shining the sun on your special day

What a busy summer is has been at SummerIsle. We had a great July and August and really enjoyed the weddings we filmed. We would just like to thank everyone who helped with the work and also to our lovely couples who made us feel so welcome at their weddings this year.

Cora Release

Its been a long year for ‘Cora’ but, finally, its here and ready to take on the world. The first filming started over a year ago on the 25th August 2008 and then progressed through to December 2008, after which editing took place, but with a busy year ahead for SummerIsle Studios the editing of [...]

Finjaro Cavaliers

Over the last few weeks, SummerIsle Studios for the first time has worked with the four legged kind. They say never work with animals, so we prepared ourselves when we were asked to film a promotional video for the Finjaro kennel. However, the cute puppies turned out to be rather fun and were much easier [...]

The End of the Pier International Film Festival 2009

We travelled down to Worthing on Sunday 26th April to support our documentary which had been nominated for best film in its category at the End of the Pier International film festival. 
We had a great time at the festival and even though we didn’t win, we were very pleased with the nomination and would like [...]

There are a number of life experiences that have helped me develop as a person and changed me as a person. At the [...]

Cora

Over the last few months, SummerIsle Studios has been working on an ambitious short film project with local acting talent and film enthusiasts.
Inspired by ‘Cora’ a short story by the writer Charlie Fish, the film captures the realism of youth in today’s society, reflecting on issues with drinking, partying and the struggle to get into [...]

Filmmakers on a budget

Last year SummerIsle Studios designed and built a homemade tripod tracking dolly, ideal for low budget filmmakers.
There are many designs on the internet for tracking dollies, so we studied other ideas and developed what we think is a stronger and more effective homemade tripod tracking dolly. 
Without spending too much we designed a very strong and plausible dolly, which can [...]
