| It
is our philosophy that the good story is most often to be found far away
from the TV-studio. |
|
| We
also believe that the inherent strength of the TV medium lies is showing
rather than telling. Good television programming should give the viewer
contact to people, places and events which they would otherwise not have
the opportunity of experiencing. The good story gives the viewer new
insight. |

6 Television has therefore always strived to bring the camera to the story
- and not the other way around. |
|
| Whilst
our facilities and experience equip us well for multi-camera studio and OB
productions, the production discipline of our choice is usually the "hand-made"
single- camera production, whereby the story is brought to life through
solid research, good planning and classic shooting methods. Attention to
detail and good craftsmanship are the foundation for a Channel 6
Television production. |

|
| Our
philosophy is proven in practice through 25 years of production -
documentaries from some of the world's most inaccessible and inhospitable
locations; industrial and education programming from locations to which
few people gain access; public information films that bring the camera -
and the viewer - behind the scenes of everyday life. |
|
| A
wide general knowledge, curiosity and a fascination for detail are the
forces behind our work, which when combined with experience and endurance,
lead us forward to the good story. |
|
| To
tell the good story is to share an experience with others - regardless of
whether the story is entertaining or thought-provoking. The good story -
for broadcast television, advertising, industry and education - gives the
viewer new knowledge and understanding - and the basis for relating to the
world in a new way. |
|
| Even
the most gruesome or gloomy story can be positive - if it tells the viewer
that "here it is possible to do something", "here something
is being done" or "here it matters". |
|
 |
|
| The
company's many documentaries and information films produced for private
organisations and charities, as well as many information-spots produced
for broadcast on Danish television, are excellent examples of the good
story. |
|
 |
|
| Industrial
and corporate films are a particular challenge. Even when promoting a
commercial entity and its product, it is important to portray an
"organisation with a heart" whose product and services give
pride to its employees and benefits to its customers. Corporate values
such as conscience and commitment give credibility and a deeper meaning
to the product. |
|
| Wherever
the good story is to be found, finding it is only half the challenge -
bringing the story to the camera - and the audience - requires detailed planning and professional production management - a vital facet of our
craft. |
