Real stories, filming them
Creat.ing is a documentary and corporate film production company in Accra, Ghana. We make films about real work for companies, institutions and brands: the story, the interviews, location and drone filming, the edit, the colour grade and the sound, all with our own crew. We have filmed Meridian Port Services' new cranes arriving at Tema Port, and gone offshore for Springfield's Afina-1x deepwater discovery.
What we are filming
Story and research
What the film is for, who it must convince, and the story that gets them there.
Interviews
Questions prepared with you, then lit and recorded with clean sound.
Location filming
Ports, sites, factories, offices and offshore, with a crew sized for the job.
Drone filming
Aerial footage for the scale a camera on the ground cannot show.
Edit, colour and sound
The cut, the grade, the music and the mix, done in house.
Versions
A full film, a short cut and social edits from the same footage, with subtitles.
Stills on the same shoot
A photographer alongside the film crew, so the story comes with its own photographs.
