Charlie Productions : How To...

Have you considered working on one of our films?

We have a good success rate in bringing together couples on our sets - the magic in the air spreads into love. Either that or we work everyone so hard they just become horny beasts. We're not sure. Either way, our unique service seems to work better than online dating, and it's far more fun too. Here are a couple of success stories...

When Jonny Tyson jumped at the chance to work with us on Making Juice, we don't think he reckoned on finding his future wife through the viewfinder of his Ikegami HL-DV7 - but that's just what happened...

Not that we gave time for love to blossom, oh no. We had a film to make in 48 hours after all, so as soon as the shoot finished we whisked Emily away to an edit suite to cut the fantastic five hours-worth of footage we'd shot down to round about ten minutes, before jettisoning her out on the street on a sleepless Monday morning. Job done.

It wasn't until we held a fancy dress party some time later that Emily and Jonny really got to know each other. He was a gangster, she was a moll in a rather revealing sparkly number, our front room became theirs later that night, and they have been together ever since.

They've together collaborated with us twice more on Anything Goes and Pour Un Temps and were married at the Marylebone Register Office the day after we'd been shooting Hallo Panda in Battersea Park, which was handily the one day off we had (and seeing as Panda DoP Oli Russell was best man, quite fortunate too)...

They're now expecting their first littl'un in August.

Strangely enough, the first time Immy set eyes on Adam was at the Hallo Panda shoot in Battersea Park the night before Emily & Jonny's wedding. Immy was transforming our visual style with her fantastic work as costume supervisor, Adam was helping us through our technological workflow nightmare trying to get our Varicam 24p footage out to PAL rushes for the execs. But, being Adam, he was also the most likely to have a saw in his van - and thus it was that Immy first saw her future husband, cutting down the sign pointing out the way to the Zoo and the Dinosaur Park for the next shot.

"Who. Is. That?" she asked.

Not that we gave time for love to blossom, oh no. We had a film to shoot until the early hours, a wedding to go to in the morning, and four days of rushes still stuck in an unreadable format for the execs to view, so Immy worked on with us until four in the morning whilst we sent Adam, his saw, his van and his sweaty bulging forearms away to do tape transfers.

It wasn't until we were making a series of commercials for Alphabet Advertising that Adam and Immy really got to know each other - their obvious chemistry reaching boiling point when we put Adam in army gear for some pickup shots for our video for Steel Pulse at the end of the shoot. Adam gave her a lift home that night, and they have been together ever since.

They were married in the summer of 2008 at the Marylebone Register Office and the Hope & Anchor in Brixton - where Chris was the priest.

They're now expecting their first littl'un in September.

We haven't had a shoot for a while now, but with the first of our features hopefully coming up soon, get in touch if you too would like to find love...

Charlie Productions believe passionately in doing things and always trying to stop in time for tea.
