AVT produce pension video for the LGE (Local Government Employers)

This was a substantial project, shot at Elstree Studios, London and post produced at AVT House, Brighton. LGE invited AVT to tender for the provision of design, project management and technical production services for the creation of a video programme to assist Pension Funds in communicating the provisions of the 'New Look' Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

The brief stressed the need to make complex information accessible to all audiences and be deliverable in a wide variety of formats. The video was produced as a DVD / CD-ROM as well as in streamable format for the web and the intranets.
