About Us
Trickshot Film Productions was set up in 1998 by Richard Allison and Nick Kirk to make innovative low budget films using the latest digital video technology. Based in South East London, we continue to write, produce and distribute our films independently online and at various film conventions around the country.
Other Trickshot regulars include Robert Allison, Andrew Kirk and David Beynon. We are currently developing a new feature film for 2007, a black comedy entitled Incidental Weekend.
Our film-making equipment includes the Canon XL1s 3CCD digital camcorder and Steadydrive camera stabilisation system. For post-production software we use Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Encore DVD. For special FX and animation we use Photoshop, 3D Studio Max and Maya.
