Northern Irish motocross racer Philip Martin came to Honcho Designs to create branding for his new personal training business Absolute Fitness.  We created the Identity and then provided Martin with a package to kick-start his business.  The package included the design of letterheads, business cards, a website, and a branded van. Printing of the stationary was provided by Honcho Designs, along with the application of the van graphics, and web site hosting, meaning less time wasted by the client chasing up various suppliers.
New or established businesses should not dismiss the importance of a carefully developed brand image. Get in touch to see how Honcho Designs can help you.
I’m just back from the Redbull MotoX of Nations event at Donnington park in England. Â MX of nations is the biggest MotoX race of the year with countries from all over the globe competing. Â I was there to put produce a few short videos documenting the events of the weekend for top online extreme sports entertainment channel Freecaster.tv.
The work at this event was highly demanding but I managed to cope and deliver the content on time. Â I had to shoot video during the day and edit this video together for uploading to the Freecaster website the same evening. Â Three videos were produced each day, so in total six videos were shot, edited, and delivered in two days.
The facilities available at Honcho Designs allow for the edit suite to become mobile so content can be delivered unbelievably quickly at any location with power and an internet connection.  The 35mm lens adapter was used to give a more film like look on day 1.  A special post production technique was used to give super smooth slow motion shots.  Check out some of the action below…
The official site for the Irish Downhill Mountain Bike Film ‘Break the Cycle‘ has been launched.
Honcho Designs set up the whole site.  The WordPress system was used making it easy for anyone to manage content.  The plug-in system was customised to allow for embedded images, files from video sites like YouTube ad Vimeo, seach engine optimisation, and site statistics.  The default WordPress theme was modified to reflect the branding of the film.
Site set-ups like this really do make it as easy as writing an email to manage content on a site, so if you are looking for a presence on the web that needs to be updated regularly, and is easy to manage, look no further.
We have just recently taken delivery of a 35mm adapter, follow focus, and external monitor for our HD video camera. Â The adaptor allows the use of 35mm camera lenses and creates the look of film without the high costs involved. Â It allows for the ability to have a shallower depth of field, and also adds a more organic look to the footage, while boosting colour saturation. Â Check out the portfolio section for some early test footage.
The new Honcho Designs site has been launched. The main difference here is the ability to update the site with new content with less hassle, so you should be seeing new info here quite regularly. A portfolio section wil be added in the future but until then you can check out some of the services offered.
