To help get you prepared for NATPE Miami Virtual, we are offering three days free design!

We have been involved in the industry for over 25 years and know exactly how it feels in the build-up to a market. Whether it’s a new or existing project, we are here to help. Putting the finishing touches to a brochure we are here to help, creating key art or making a start on a pre-sales pitch or interactive presentation, we are here to help.

You may not be walking on the beaches, but people will be looking at your pitches. Get in contact and see what we can do for you.

It appears that in these unprecedented times people are turning to some creature comforts with what some call ‘prestige TV’. This comes in the way of Friends, Frasier, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory and The Office to name just a few. Friends was the second-most-streamed show this week, it’s no wonder Netflix forked out almost £85m to get it on the platform for 2019. Perhaps it’s the importance of seeing these longtale programmes and seeing these recognisable faces which some may have grown up with watching and ‘getting to know’ them that gives us the sense of familiarity, warmth and dare we say it, normality.

While there are some fantastic dramas being created, these do not give a person a sense of nostalgia and comfort that maybe Chandler Bing or Sheldon Cooper can offer, maybe you want to have a pint at the bar with NORM! to try and feel NORMal. Either way there is a character for everyone and we all have our favourites, who will you be binge watching the next few months? The Office because you miss going to work, Modern Family because you miss yours, or Friends because, well, you get the gist.

Could there BE anything more comforting.

At Mindcorp, we’ve been creating posters on the current trending shows, like Cobra Kai, with a retro take on it.

We based our posters we were looking at for The Mandalorian. Designers and artists like Butcher Billy are creating campaigns around current Netflix binge series, giving them a retro look. It’s effective because the typography and graphics fits the era it would come out from. Billy has created a collection of retro movie posters, each reflecting an episode and quote from The Mandalorian, Season Two.

This Is The New Way!

Since October 30, the Season 2 of The Mandalorian is streaming on Disney+ and is bringing fans together from across the galaxy to celebrate.

The mysterious warrior and the Child continue their journey, facing enemies and rallying allies as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in the tumultuous era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire.

Throughout 2020 it has felt like we are all travelling a hard and arduous journey, trying to meander our way through this COVID-19 pandemic. We have all had to overcome obstacles, some of which being harder than others; but there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. Roll on 2021 and lets hope this is ‘the one’ that brings something we are not used to at the moment… normality!

To help with bringing back some normality Mindcorp would like to offer you a quick start with the offer of three free days design work. Get in touch and let us know what we can do for you.

May the Force be with you.

Improve Your Grades

Just because you’ve had the budget to make it, doesn’t mean that the promo or the key art or the sizzle reel promoting it will really ‘sing’.

Sometimes….in fact most times actually, a promo or any campaign around a project needs an ‘enhanced package’ to make it really stand out. We understand that here at Mindcorp; we have done for over 25 years… and that’s why TV, film and post production campaigns are our main focus.

Take a look at a few recent pieces where we’ve applied some sample grading; promos or stills; they all get the Mindcorp treatment, but without the cost of an online or offline edit suite.

With grading starting at a few hundred pounds, it doesn’t break the budget. To find out more, get in touch and ask us to improve your grades.

The Queen Versus The Crown

An alcohol fueled drug addicted character, travelling the States to collect money is probably not how you would expect a chess player to be described. I’d like to introduce you to Beth Harmon.

The Queen’s Gambit does not disappoint when it comes to delivering binge worthy TV thats keeps you hooked from the first episode. Orphaned at a tender age, this series takes you through the ups and downs of Beth discovering and mastering the game of chess with a slightly different inbetween. The creativity within this series is there for all to see, from Beths flawless wardrobe to the tense scenes created through the fantastic way the show is shot.

This is a must watch for anyone and the best thing is you don’t even need to be interested in or understand how to play chess to enjoy it.

Beth opens her ‘creative’ side through drugs, Mindcorp like to get our creative juices going in a slightly more traditional way. Lets setup an online call and lets discuss what we can do for you. Whether you are looking to create a piece of keyart, or promote your new stand out show with brochures and other mixed media means or a digital campaign, we are here to help you. We are feeling so generous that we will offer the first three for FREE (but that’s just between us).

We’ve made our move, it’s now over to you to make yours. Your chess clock is ticking.

We’ll be in the stands for the start of the 2021 season. Have a great weekend watching tennis, rugby, football…or the opening round of the downhill season.
