Presentation

Graeme Aldous is an experienced TV, Radio and Voiceover Presenter, able to adapt to a great many styles as required by the subject material. For more details (and samples), click the 'Presentation' button on the panel on the left.
But he doesn't throw a tantrum if you prefer a different face or voice, and can suggest a number of associates who may be able to fit the bill.

Research & Writing

The majority of Teeafit Sound & Vision's clients require assistance right from the start of a project. TSV provides a full service, from interpreting the basic message of a project, through devising an imaginative treatment, to delivery of a finished script.

Directing

Whether your video requires actors in a role play situation, or staff members to be sympathetically interviewed, TSV is experienced in getting the best performances, and promoting the essential message. See the 'Go For It!' page for examples.

Filming

Now that broadcast-quality cameras are available at realistic prices, TSV has invested in a Sony PD150 kit, which is small and versatile, but of high quality. All forms of commission will be considered, but rural community projects with limited budgets are a speciality.

Video Editing

Once the video material has been shot, TSV's sophisticated Pinnacle Edition non-linear edit suite can mould it to suit your requirements. Graphics and other visual effects can easily be incorporated to illustrate complex points, and give the production impact.
The facilities are also available for post-production of existing material. All formats, from VHS to DVCam can be handled - others (such as BetaSP) can be incorporated with prior notice.

Sound Recording

Having started his broadcasting career in Radio, Graeme Aldous is particularly concerned about the quality of the sound in TSV's productions. Acquisition is by PortaDAT, with a range of boom and radio mics to suit.
Facilities are also available for the location recording of choirs, bands and other musical groups, and the preparation of audio cassettes and CDs. Clients include The Yangchin Group (from Hall Garth School, Middlesbrough), The Dalesmen Singers, Marske Fishermen's Choir, and Cleveland Police Band. Sample files are included on the CD version of this web site, which you can order from the 'Contact Me' page.
Other audio productions include the making of atmosphere tracks for permanent exhibitions at Sutton Bank Information Centre and The Moors Centre in the North York Moors National Park, for Beamish Museum in Co.Durham, and the Woodhorn Colliery Museum in Northumberland.

Audio Editing

TSV regards the post-production of audio material as being just as important as picture editing. A SADiE computer editor gives the ability to assemble and enhance the most complex audio tracks, from simple voiceovers (which can be converted to data files suitable for CD-Rom use) to a full radio feature or Audio CD.
Examples include 'Charlie Is Me Darling' (a soap opera drama for BBC Radio Cleveland), and 'Sounds of Botton' for the Camphill Village Trust.
The equipment has also been used to improve the audibility of recorded material for use in a court case, and to settle a dispute about what was actually said in a disciplinary tribunal.

NE Locations

Having lived and worked in North East England for over 30 years, Graeme Aldous has a very extensive knowledge of the area, and a great many local contacts. This is particularly detailed for East Cleveland, the North York Moors and Tees Valley, but essentially extends from the Tweed to the Humber.
He may be able to solve your location problems - just ask!

Sound Effects

Need a sound effect? Can't afford the prices charged by the big libraries? In over 30 years of audio recording, TSV has recorded a library of general atmospheres and specific effects, ranging from tram interiors to audience applause; from curtains round a hospital bed to a working frumety mill. Contact TSV for a catalogue.
