Leading video and film production company, Pyramid Media UK, is living in wonderland after winning a contract with Walt Disney Studios to direct and produce specialty content for some of this year’s biggest blockbusters.Pyramid Media UK (PMUK) founders, Daymon Britton and Jamie Hutchinson, were ecstatic when they were asked by Disney earlier this year to fly to Los Angeles to produce content behind the scenes at a photo session with rising star Liam Hemsworth in the lead up to the theatrical release of ”The Last Song.”
The content is designed to give viewers the chance to learn more about the studio’s newest actors – features are uploaded onto popular social media sites to help generate excitement around theatrical releases worldwide.
Since the beginning of the year, PMUK has written, directed and produced eight pieces for three Disney features, including “The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, which was released in the UK last week.
Fredi Edwards, Executive Director of Creative PR Materials for the studio, has enjoyed working with PMUK. She said: “We initially commissioned Pyramid Media to produce a short behind the scenes piece featuring Liam Hemsworth for “The Last Song”.
“We found Daymon’s energy to be infectious and coupled with Jamie’s camera work they presented a perfect solution to what we were looking for. We hope to continue our work with Pyramid on some very exciting future releases.”
Britton and Hutchinson, who met when they were just 16 at North Tyneside College studying for a BTEC in Performing Arts and Video, have had the opportunity to work with some of Disney’s biggest stars and film makers.
After leaving college Britton opted for a career in front of the camera, starring in “School for Seduction”, with Kelly Brook; a part in “Byker Grove” as Dom Meredith; and playing Sean Hocknell in Sky One’s football drama, “Dream Team”. Meanwhile Hutchinson preferred to stay behind the camera and attended Surrey Institute of Design for a film and video degree. He then started on the first rung of the ladder as a runner on “Dream Team”.
Britton, who is married with two children and lives in Ryton, Tyne and Wear, said: “It has been absolutely fantastic to work with the Disney team and be involved with some of this year’s biggest films. It was a particularly surreal moment for PMUK to be invited to the offices of Bruckheimer films in order to conduct interviews and capture behind the scenes footage in the run up to “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and “The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”.
However, PMUK has not just travelled the world with Disney; their work with leading interactive education providers, Promethean, has taken them to Turkey, Australia, New Zealand and Dubai.
Hutchinson, 32, who grew up in Whitely Bay and now lives in Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland, said: “When we started the business just over two years ago, Promethean was one of our first clients and we have continued to build our relationship as we grow. We are really excited about the future of Pyramid Media as we are continuing to foster relationships with marketing agencies in the region as well as clients across the world - it is an incredibly exciting time for us.”
