Our Vision
Innovation comes from great bases, experience comes from a great past, speed and reliability are on the same line. This is how Winter Video, since more than 33 years, produces ideas. Winter was founded in Milan in 1991 in a large studio designed by the great architet Giò Ponti. A space that inspires brillant ideas and is the essence of Italian style. In this magical space, with the enthusiasm and passion of all time, we have been trying to keep this tradition high in the art of cinematography for TV, cinema, radio and Web for almost thirty years. In more than two decades of experience we have created groundbreaking commercial for some of the top most important toys companies worldwide. Our underlying thought is strategic, a perfect mix between addiction to our work, passion for great results and lots of fun! Art does not have to be beautiful, art must make emotions come true. We are artists. We are Winter Video.
TV Commercial
We create emotions, dreams and reality. The 30 seconds we have in a TV commercial are the essence of advertising. 30 seconds to pop on screen, to tell the product, to make a point, to achieve the communication objective respecting tradition and aesthetic taste. We are craftsmen able to turn the result of our creativity and what we have to communicate into images. That’s all very exciting.
Digital Contents & more
To build a brand you have to create emotions. Emotions able to tell , even before the product, the core itself that guides it. With a targeted communication focused on the product features the goal is to enhance the brand image and draw the attention of the audience. Without time limits (no 30” restrictions) the fantasy is free and released from any constrains. The world of the Web is constantly evolving and the attention of children is also influenced by this trend. We develop communications plans creating an integrated communication. Starting from a single image/concept as if it were a unique “fabric”, we spread it over all the planned materials. The strongly believe that the TV commercial is still a “MUST HAVE” of an effective communication strategy and its role is essential for the building of the Brand Image. Tutorials, unboxing and “social contents” reinforce and complete the product storytelling and, since there are no time limitations on the Web, it can be described accurately through all its features and pluses.
Creativity and Production
Every product has its own identity and a seul that makes it different and unique. This is the starting point from which pour creative team begins to create a story with the aim of making each story “another story“. The workflow is organized by a series of precise steps: starting from the detailed analysis of the brief the producers coordinate every stage of production process thanks to the constant communication and cooperation of the responsible of each processing: creative development, storyboarding, copywriting, audio-mixing, production and post-production. Producing everything in-house with structured apporach allows us to anticipate what the film will be , and enable us to confirm the client’s expectations and to reduce any issues with a consequent costs reduction. All this allows Winter to ensure a matchless quality-price ratio. Winter can take advantage of 3 shooting studios, one of these specialized for the green screen. We shoot all of our commercial with RED and ALEXA digital cameras.
Post-Production and CGI
