After writing his book “How not to run a club”, New Order’s Peter Hook went off and er, opened a nightclub! Having worked with Peter before for Voodoo Ray ’09, we were brought in to document the creation of the club from start to finish. The premises were that of the original Factory Communications Headquarters where Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus and Rob Gretton had operated Factory Records from.

With Hooky, Aaron Mellor of Tokyo Industries and architect Ben Kelly as central characters, we captured all the mayhem and sawdust that it takes to transform a building site into a vibrant new venue for up and coming artists. We’ve created 5 blogs so far….see them here

The annual Versus Cancer concert at the 18,000+ capacity MEN Arena in Manchester features performances from some of the UK’s best artists. RBF Associate Director Tom Smetham, co-founded the concerts in 2005 to raise money to fight cancer and give the opportunity to see great bands at the same time. Tom left in 2007 to become a producer on The Tube for Channel 4 Radio but the legacy rolls on and hundreds of thousands of pounds has been raised so far. As Red Button Films, he and Tighe Grainger return each year to film the event. Some of the artists filmed are listed here

This year was no exception! Our multi-cam front of house team and behind the scenes crew filmed an exceptional night featuring top acts Snow Patrol, Kid British, The Twang, Happy Mondays and a huge performance from James & the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra (composed by Joe Duddell).

All edited and ready to go, we’ll you posted about any releases!

Alongside Pit Stop Studios we filmed this really fun trailer and in game content for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on the PSP

Invizimles are little monsters that you catch and battle against other users. One of the first games to take advantage of augmented reality game play, this product has been hugely successful. It took a few takes until Brian Blessed could pronounce the word “Invizimles” much to the delight of the crew! Lots of fun to make and a great game to boot.
