A creative still and moving image professional with a focus on developing cost effective and innovative solutions for the advertising, film and TV industry.
Backlit Films is a video production company with innovation at its heart. Having struggled to find a solution to fit the needs of filming projects Peter Jackson founded Backlit Films to help video productions expand their possibilities through intuitive and affordable collaborative robots.
Whilst others available are very expensive and do not offer many collaborative safety features, making them cumbersome to operate, the company’s solution is accessible and affordable to large and small-sized productions who are seeking to push the boundaries of creative content production.
In collaboration with robotics specialists Branch Robotics, Backlit Films is creating a solution that utilises cost-effective, collaborative robots which are up to 40% cheaper than similar market solutions and which also dramatically reduce software subscription costs.
With a clear integration with Unreal Engine, the real-time computer graphics generator that powers virtual backgrounds for The Mandalorian and Batman, the company’s technology will allow filmmakers to create new worlds without the need for Hollywood budgets.
Backlit Films is seeking to:
● Meet and develop relationships with investors who share the companies' vision and potential to raise £250,000 investment to bring an affordable content creation solution to productions in the UK and Europe
● Showcase its technology and expertise to an internationally ambitious audience
● Meet with other innovators to share knowledge and networks
● Identify potential Nordic distribution partners
Creativity has always been a big part of my life and a natural outlet for this has always been through creating still and moving imagery. Starting my career in 2017 as a freelance photographer/cinematographer, I worked with agencies to create advertising material and after seeing a gap in the market and a drive to do things a little differently, I founded Backlit Films in 2021.
Backlit Films is video production company that specialises in creating food and drink content utilising the latest innovations in filmmaking technology. We are currently developing our own automation solution to filming these adverts leveraging the new developments in cost effect collaborative robots which are considerably cheaper than the industrial robots being used for filmmaking purposes.
