ABOUT REAL-TIME IMAGES

Real-Time has been Imaging in the north-west since 1991,
previously based in London from 1977-1991 (77-84 as "Mixed Media").

We have worked for a host of industrial-strength household names, including most of the companies with "British" in their titles - designing, producing and delivering multimedia communications, ads, music videos, promos, events, exhibition stands, banners, DVDs, CDs and supporting literature.

We pioneered digital media as long ago as 1983 and with over 30 years at the cutting edge of image making history, we have a unique breadth and depth of experience - from film through "U" and Beta format and digital video through Standard Definition to digital HD production and tapeless filming. In graphics we have gone all the way from Letraset and rostrum work to computer artwork generated imagery & 3D animation.

Images from some of this work can be found in the Animation gallery of this site as well as the early entries in the Projects section - we will be adding more and creating a "musuem" area as our archeologists unearth further examples.

We were one of the first companies in the UK to harness the power of digital animation in the corporate arena back in the 80's. We can truthfully say that if it can be imagined- it can be done.

Most importantly we know its not about the toys or the tech, its about pure communication and that's what we really understand, the rest is just window-dressing.
Working together with our clients - the best is yet to come.
