Who are
Glacé?
A video production company that knows the answer to the question “how to produce a video that will impact an audience”.
Through a glorious concoction of lovely northern charm and a perpetually bubbling well of creativity, Glacé are the collaborators you want on your side when you’re ready to wow your audience. Communication is the key to all successful businesses, but when it’s done in a way that makes audiences actually want to listen, then great things become possible.
What we do
Video production of the highest order. Whether it be stunning footage shot on location, cleverly designed content captured in the studio or striking animations using all the bells and whistles the digital age has to offer, Glacé Media produce video content that resonates with audiences. Video content is arguably the most important piece of content within your marketing campaign. For Glacé, stunning visuals are a given, but if it doesn’t have the impact it needs to have, then what’s the point of making it? Glacé produce video content that not only knocks your socks off, it actually works within your marketing campaigns.
The Glacé Story So Far
Following a friendship formed at an innocuous Bolton primary school, founders Matt and Marcus decided they should be pals and went on to pursue their shared love of all things creative. Internet radio stations, pop-punk bands and questionable amateur dramatics satiated their creative drives until their real shared love of film and video came along.
Since the inception of Glacé Media in 2017, the pair have gone on to deliver their brand of creative video production to eager clients in Manchester and across the UK. Working with some of the finest individuals the country’s creative industry has to offer, today the Glacé Media brand of production can be seen in marketing campaigns and at film festivals from Manchester to Timbuktu (acceptance into Timbuktu Film Festival pending).
Meet the
founders
Since life was breathed into Glacé Media in 2017, Matt and Marcus have led the way, refining the Glacé style of video production that clients continue to love.
Marcus Johnson
Managing Director
Side by side with Matt from the start, Marcus is always on hand to make sense of the ideas that get conjured up between them. Whether it’s a carefully crafted email, a production plan fit for the higher echelons of Hollywood or one of his many eager podcast appearances, Marcus embodies all that Glacé is via clear communication laced with the odd chuckle.
You can find him meandering at film festivals, slapping the skins of a drum kit and banging on about boring novels. Wherever he is, a friendly chat is just around the corner.
Matt Green
Creative Director
Whether he’s in the director’s chair, penning a script or mapping out a spectacular creative vision for your next project, Matt’s lust for exciting ideas is always ticking away. Creative endeavours have always run through his life.
From his teenage years as a long-haired rocker through to the discovery of his love for film and video. Matt loves to create. He loves to create because it’s fun! You can find him in the wild, chuckling away at comedies, running 26.4 miles (never again) and whipping up a storm in the kitchen. Wherever you find him, a pot of punchy ideas is never too far away.
Our Production Process
We’ve refined our production process over the years to make it efficient and effective.
Pre-Production
From your initial idea or brief, we will work with you to develop scripts, create storyboards and plan all filming logistics. Through meetings, the development of creative visuals and written plans, when it’s time to begin production on your video project, we’ll be fully prepped and ready to go. Good planning is essential to successfully executing effective video content. That’s why we take the pre-production phase very seriously.
Production
Whether we’re filming on location, in a studio or producing computer-generated animations, the production phase is where the action actually happens. With a solid plan in our hands, the Glacé team will deploy all the appropriate resources to ensure your video content is executed in the way you need it to be, to the highest quality possible. Because the pre-production phase has been so successful, you can sit back safe in the knowledge that there will be no extra surprises during the production phase.
Post-Production
This is where we finalise your video content. All footage and assets will go through numerous rounds of editing, all leading to the delivery of that tantalising final content. Throughout this process, the Glacé team will provide regular updates and consult with you to ensure that everything we have previously planned is being delivered to the timelines agreed on. This is the exciting part where the finished product finally takes shape. We’ve planned, we’ve executed, now it’s time to deliver. Time to take your top-notch video content and let it fly in the digital world.
