Case study: True Media

 

 

Adrian Larkin graduated from Leeds Met in June 2007 with a Masters degree in Film and Moving Image Production. The knowledge and skills that he developed when studying for this degree helped him to launch a video media productions company called True Media (formerly know as Picture Media) in January 2008, providing a full video production service from concepts, script development, storyboarding, production, post production, special FX, graphics, DVD authoring and delivery.

“We don't do boring. Every video we produce is designed and catered to be unique, just like our clients”, said Adrian.

True Media has directed TV commercials, corporate videos, short films, music videos and more. Adrian is clearly very passionate about the company and their performance.

“from the smallest company seminar video to high end commercial productions we follow the same guideline, to produce a film that the audience wants to watch that is both entertaining and captivating”.

Adrian has fully utilised the services that Business Start-Up has to offer, including numerous meetings with the business advisor and attending workshops that aim to help entrepreneurs develop their business skills.
In December 2007, True Media was awarded the Business Start-Up Proof of Concept grant that offers new businesses up to £1000 to test the feasibility of their ideas. The money was used to promote True Media, including the design of a new website.

True Media use the innovation showcase at Leeds Met, taking full advantage of the professional work environment and city centre address. Located at the Old Broadcasting House, the showcase is office space dedicated to entrepreneurs who can benefit from the creative environment which fosters collaboration, enterprise and innovation.
