SERVICES
ERA Films provides a wide range of video-based services to NGOs and the academic research sector amongst others.
We work with a wide range of people – from community environmentalists, human rights advocates and workplace trade union organisers to senior policy advisers, Cabinet Ministers, UN leaders and INGO CEOs.
The projects we manage – from shooting an NGO campaign or running a participatory video project to professional training in ethnographic video skills and fieldwork safety – can last a few days or a couple years.

Project m&E
Visual demonstrations of project impact can be very powerful. Integrate video, audio and photography into your project tool kit as a method of documentation; build a multimedia evidence base and project archive to help in project evaluation, lesson learning and dissemination.
STRATEGIC CONSULTANCY
Does your organisation need to rethink its use of visual materials? We can provide a technology and skills assessment, a review of organisational process and systems, with recommendations for staff training, equipment investments and redesign.
MOBIle journalism
With a mobile phone everybody has the power to record important moments and engage in citizen journalism. With some extra training you can vastly improve the quality of your mobile video reporting for online viewing.
EVENT VIDEO COVERAGE
Get into the habit of routinely documenting your event and take the opportunity to gather interviews with key people. Video can be a great way to disseminate learning to your networks with post-event video clips, and to raise the profile of key issues.
