Archive for the ‘DVD Duplication’ Category

A little while ago, we had another member of Walsall City Council come to us after a referral.  They had a DVD about Jacob Epstein, and needed a good number of discs to duplicated, printed, packed into black DVD cases and with a full colour inlay inserted.

Happy, as ever, to service another client, we duly went about our business and delivered the disc in style – 2 days earlier than requested, and well in time for their event launch that the DVDs were required for.  No last minute panics around here!

Following a successful year in 2009, we’ve been working hard at Eight Eyed Sea Bass to give you even better deals than before.

There’s been some changes to our prices for discs in 2010 – about 90% for the better.

On duplicated media (discs you burn), used for quick turnarounds, our prices on retail-grade silkscreen and offset litho CD-Rs have been reduced on quantities over 500 units. However, for DVD-Rs, the prices have been reduced from about 300+ units. Naturally, you can have us print and duplicate your discs, but of course you can have the media only printed at our highest quality, and the discs left blank for you or your staff to burn content on to.

On replicated media, the type of discs where we manufacture the discs with your content contained within, and the discs have a silver underside, we hope you’ll pleased to hear that every single price for all quantities over 500 units, both CDs and DVDs have been reduced across the board!

Normally, replicated (manufactured) discs normally take around 7-10 working days to deliver. We’ve even seen some companies deliver within 14-21 working days. Not only do we provide the best quality at EESB, but we deliver faster than our competitors.ÂWe can now even offer a UK SPECIAL service of delivering up to 10,000 replicated and printed DVD discs (without packaging) delivered in 4 days. Now that’s unique!

As you should know is our standard by now, all our prices include any set up costs and overnight courier shipping, so you will never see any extra hidden cost with EESB.

With our hard work and dedication to this ethos, and in creating these reductions, we managed to get some prices down by up to around 30-35% !

Now, CD replication starts from 11p, and DVD replication from 23p.

We believe in providing the highest quality and the most reasonable prices to everyone.  Hopefully you are the sort of person who wants the best for the smallest investment.

Let us know!

Is there much better in the world than motorcycles?
How about Ducati motorcycles? !w00t!

Our great chums at The Gyst came back to EESB once again, with some footage of Ducati’s new 2010 range of bikes [droooool!] to edit into a looping DVD for the International Bike Show at the NEC, and also to be played in some dealer outlets.

Included in the brief was the task of duplicating a number of USB pen-drives with promo material, press-packs and product info.

We hope that the discs and the edit have gone down a storm for all concerned. A big thumbsup to The Gyst for their Christmas card too; cheers guys!

…. I must get me one of them Multistrada 1100 machines, they look awesome…..

It’s not often that we get to work on full blown feature-length films, so when turns up, we are happy to take part and do whatever we can.

The 13th Day, according to it’s producer, began life a few years ago as an ambitious short film about the miracle of Fatima, telling a Christian story. After working its way around a bit, it picked up some oomph from the Catholic Church itself – and the project ballooned in to a full blown feature length film. This was premiered simultaneously in Portugal and the USA through the wonders of the internet.

As the project was nearing its first major close, the production company were needing various flavours of DVD copies.

Eight Eyed Sea Bass was tasked with converting the TV broadcast Digibeta tapes to a run of DVDs at the highest possible quality. Alongside that, there had been a version of the film with Portuguese subtitles, which again needing duplication. Not only that, EESB had to create a DVD master for the American market (with their NTSC television sets), and do a small run of this type of disc also.

Not wanting to let the client have problems anywhere along the line, we also used our magic EESB powers to get an American NTSC master tape of the film transported from UK to USA overnight, compared to the 2-4 days most couriers were stating.

We hope that the film is a success for them – it does sound like they’ve pumped the last few years of their lives into this project, so we can only wish that they get their due rewards.

Good luck guys!

Eight Eyed Sea Bass are extremely excited to announce that after a hell of a lot of hard graft, we have launched our new Disc e-Quoting System.

The point of the system is to make life easy for clients, who want a price quickly for CD or DVD jobs. Our system caters for duplication needs, packaging, and printed inserts, along with selectable timescales.

Then at the end you are presented with a quote on the same page – it is INSTANT – so you can’t get much faster than that!

Have a go for yourself. You’ll find our new tool here – www.eesb.tv/discs

We at EESB are pleased to announce that the Open University recruitment video is now done and dusted.

This project is another example where our good friends @Warblefly Productions went and shot the footage for the end client, and handed us to rushes to process and edit.

So that is precisely what we did, submitting work-in-progress through the internet – as is our standard process – and then working on some colour correction throughout to lift the shots and make the piece warmer.

All parties involved were pleased with the outcome, which naturally is exactly what we like to hear.

More news soon.
Keep well everyone.

As part of a push to help make things easier and faster for clients, we have decided we are going to develop an additional web page for clients to access.

This page, once complete, will allow visitors to very quickly put together a user-created disc package, covering most common options to fulfill their needs, and get an instant price for it. When we say instant, we do mean you actually get a price right there, and are not taken to a new page to send only your details to us and not much more, like some other pages that exist.

We believe that this system will allow us to give everybody a fast quote with minimum fuss or stress, extremely easily, and allow us to respond even faster to you all. Anything not covered on the page such as more demanding packaging will then be dealt with carefully by our team.

Thankfully, this system should be online in the next week or two, and we can’t wait to get it up and running and out in the public domain!

More soon. Keep well, all.

We were finally able to wrap up this project for Birmingham City University in time for the event Grand Designs Live.

BCU had asked us to make a slightly different version of their video for this event, slightly more aimed at this audience.

We are reliably informed that the video has gone down very well, after we sought to create something quite different from the usual style of video that BCU has. After the event, we received a very nice email from our client thanking us for all our hard work.

Aww, makes ya feel all fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?!

Matrix are a specialist recruitment firm who take over the recruitment process for clients, to find potential high-value employees. By filming the job interviews the perform, they are able to supply their clients with a narrowed-down list of prospective employees backed up with video evidence, while allowing their clients to remain focused on what they themselves do.

The managing director of Matrix asked EESB to help them with a testimonials DVD. This disc was to show new clients roughly what the process with Matrix would be, but described through the experience of some very happy customers.

We received the raw footage, and had to pull it into chunks to make a shorter and more coherent message. Not only that, but we had to do it pretty swiftly for use at a trade-show.

So, Matrix were most pleased that they received the completed, authored DVD, on retail-grade silk-screen printed DVDs, easily in time for their departure to the show!
