Dragonfly Productions

Overview

Dragonfly Productions is a corporate video production company based in London and was launched in January 2005. The company was formed with money awarded by The Prince's Trust. The Prince's Trust Business Programme provides money and support to help people start up in business.

The company had a unique approach to corporate video which resulted in industry recognition and fast growth. The idea was to create a company which stood out amongst UK video production. The directors visited various degree shows and established links with local collages to hunt for the best young creative minds and exceptional new talent. The result led to the creation of company videos which were more interesting, memorable, artistic and that created real impact.

In September 2006 Dragonfly Production moved into offices in Covent Garden, West London.

The company now works with a broad range of enthusiastic freelance professionals who incorporate broadcast standard production values when producing videos for use in business communications.

The company went on to work with young offenders to produce some videos which were commissioned by The Home Office.
