Jext Demonstration Video
‘Jext’ is short demonstration video providing training to healthcare professionals on the correct use of an ‘adrenaline auto-injector’ for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis or anaphylactic reaction. After watching this video healthcare professionals are able to gain a certificate on how to correctly demonstrate this device to their patients and colleges.
We worked with White Communications who provided us with the script. We prepared all the relevant material to deliver a clear and succinct video to complement the presentation. We filmed all the close-ups in our studio, then added bullet points, still images, and, text on top of the footage.
Due to the nature of this device, clear and direct instructions on how to confidently recognise symptoms and follow all the necessary procedures when administering intramuscular adrenaline were key. Some careful editing of the narration was applied to ensure the instructions conformed to their guidelines.
Some custom images also helped sections of the video to flow nicely and deliver the key points on instructions. The video can be found at Jext.co.uk where they have posted it on the page for healthcare professionals.

Studio in action – Fred Dinenage with Talent South
Did you know that Agencies and Producers in the South of England use Focus studios in Southampton?
Everything you need to make great audio and video content is right here – no need to travel to London. Great news for Clients, Talent, and Budgets.
But don’t take our word for it! Just this week Fred Dinenage was in the studio, recording Voiceovers for Fred Dinenage’s Murder Casebook which Talent South are producing for the Crime and Investigation Network. Fred’s links were recorded direct to our SADiE audio workstation, and edited right away. From start to finish the session took less than 2 hours, far less time than it would have taken to commute to London and back …
Dervla Kirwan has been in to record Commercial Voiceovers for Agencies in London and Dublin … Louise Minchin and Nick Knowles recorded Voiceovers here for BBC1′s ‘Real Rescues’ for Topical Television … and Chris Packham pops in every now and then.
Our studio is great for Voiceovers, Interviews or as a TV Presentation Studio. It has a lighting grid and green or blue screen backgrounds for video work, and with ISDN audio links to connect with Studios, Clients and Voices worldwide. Clients can record to picture, syncing with tape or video files, we ‘top and tail’ all audio files so they can be used directly in an edit. We usually deliver final audio files by email or FTP.

Audio Video Podcast Studio Workshops
These Audio and Video Podcast Studio-based Workshops have been designed to complement the half day Social Media Overview and Briefing Sessions by focussing on the practical side of producing audio and video podcasts, webinars and web video.
The Workshops are deliberately kept small – only up to 4 people – so that we spend the maximum amount of time in the studio working on planning, recording, editing and producing audio podcasts and then evaluate how using social media can help promote them to maximise traffic. We will cover the use of audio and video for e-Learning and for employee as well as external customer communication. We will look at how to develop content so allowing a series of podcasts to be produced. We will look at case studies of organisations that are sucessfully using podcasts, web video and webinars.
Using the technical facilities in the studio as well as practical examples you will learn:
- How to plan and organise podcast production
- How to script, prepare and conduct interviews
- How to develop ideas for a series to help maximise the opportunity for community growth
- How to prepare to be interviewed and conduct interviews*
- The practicalities of audio and video production in offices, studios and locations
- The role of audio and video in e-learning (internal and external) and employee communication
- What audio and video recording equipment to buy
- How to editing and finalise audio and video
- Post-production – the power of music, voice-overs and advanced editing techniques
- Publishing online – YouTube, iTunes and self-hosting
- Engaging with the audience and crowdsourcing content
- How to use social media to help establish and grow communities
- How to create video from audio and still images (including Powerpoint)
- How to plan and produce webinars and maximise audience attendance
* For details of our Advanced Presentation Skills course please see here
During the session extensive use will be made of the recording and editing facilities in the studios and in-house technical resources. All delegates will be actively involved in some part of the production – planning, participation, production and promotion.
Case studies and practical examples will also be used throughout the session.
All delegates will leave with enough knowledge to be able to plan and start scripting audio and video content and to evaluate the value of web based video and webinars to their organisations.
