“Pancom : Espionage” is a short promotional film showcasing the features of Panasonic’s “Communication Assistant” software. Created & Written By Steve Gilbert Directed By Cosmo Wallace

Pre-production ran for several months’, with principal photography taking place over three long February days and nights on location at Nottingham Science Park, Chemistry Digital’s office and the local area. Everything was shot entirely on the Canon D5 giving the final film it’s sharp and filmic look, as well as the fantastic depth of field. A significant amount of motion graphics sequences were created for the various screens and projections within the film, all designed and created by Steve Gilbert and myself before principal photography. This enabled us to run the sequences live on set on the days of filming. These sequences were created with a nod to Mark Coleran’s movie work, completed in Illustrator and then animated in After Effects.

The film was edited and graded in Final Cut by myself with post production effects in After Effects. The music featured an original composition from composer Dan Watts with voice effects, folio and mixing completed by award winning composer Tim Wright. The project was created and written by Steve Gilbert, and produced by Claire Davies who adopts a hands on approach to ensure a smooth project progression.
