Services Offered by King Camera

Our services are focussed on meeting the needs of TV production, animated films and TV commercials.

In TV production we provide rostrum camera facilities, title design and graphics.

For animators & animation production companies we provide a complete pipeline, from scanning the animation drawings through digital colouring and creative compositing to the final finished output for broadcast video or motion picture film.

For TV commercials we focus our energies on being a high quality, fast, competitively priced facility for getting animated images to the edit on time and on budget.

For Digital and Rostrum output formats, including both Digital Betacam and DVCam, we can provide images as 16x9 Anamorphic, 4x3 and protect for 16x9, 15x9 and 14x9. All digital output can be letterboxed to your required ratio.
