We were contacted in late 2009 by East Coast Fibreglass Ltd and Complete Kit Car magazine. They’d spotted a gap in the market for an easily-understandable DVD introducing beginners to fibreglassing techniques.
They already had a presenter in mind for the project, a former teacher and author on the subject, John Dickens. The script and shooting schedule were written by us in collaboration with John, East Coast Fibreglass and Complete Kit Car Magazine over the course of 3 pre-production meetings and lots of emails!The shoot itself took place over 3 days in early 2010 in situ at East Coast’s premises, which we’d converted into a ‘studio’ for the weekend.
Digiwiz then took the project forwards, editing and authoring the finished DVD, and organising the initial replication run of 20,000 copies. As well as publishing a website for the finished product, which you can see here. We also arranged the publication, licensing and allocation of a unique barcode identity, enabling the DVD to be sold on Amazon, and indeed anywhere. ‘Basic Fibreglass Techniques – How to Fibreglass’ was released in July 2010.
Unusually for a project of this scale, we agreed to be paid partly from sales of the DVD, meaning that the client paid a minimal fee up front.
