Our New Studio

reflexblue's new green screen film studio is open for business, or should I say 'green wall' film studio. 

The green 'screen'

This will allow us to expand our online video marketing services. Already we have made several infomercials for the likes of Taylor Wimpey, Robert Whyte Ltd, McTears Auctioneers and The Scottish Football museum to name a few. Costs for producing video have dropped dramatically as new technology has become available and we strongly recommend that you talk to us about how we can put your business online.

BBQ in the Carpark

As you all know Colin was 50 on friday and what better way to celebrate than to have a BBQ in the lovely sunshine.

Bon voyage Becky

 Sadly through all the celebration we had to say goodbye to our lovely Becky who is off to Spain for the summer. We know she'll have a great time but she'll certainly be missed.

The party

The sun went down but the party continued and we all had a great night, we hope it was the best birthday yet Coldo.

Colin Hits The Big 50!

It's a good day, the sun is out and shining brightly on the silver fox as we celebrate his 50th birthday. 

Since the sun is out, to start the celebrations we will be lighting up the BBQ, sizzling some burgers and sausagees and toasting a Happy Birthday to Colin with a glass of bubbly and a slice of cake. 

Later on we will be heading round to our local pub, The Avalon, where once again we will be attempting to steal the limelight in our Karaoke competition...Who do you think will have the Avalon-Factor?

We will be sure to take many photos and maybe even some videos so make sure you keep an eye open next week for when we upload them.

Again, a massive Happy Birthday to Colin and we hope you have a fantastic day!

Our Birthday Hamper

We would like to say a big thank you to Scott McDonald for the basket of treats that he gave us for our 10th birthday. At first we were taken aback by the amount of sunglasses and suncream however all the sunprotection has turned out to be a great help in this glorious weather, particularly for Ricki's scalp.

                                                 Suits you sir

                                           Not sure if it's our best look

A Decade of reflexblue

This week marks our tenth birthday and what better cause for celebration. Birthday cake was enjoyed by everyone as we shared stories and laughed at how the company has changed since 2002.

As some of you may know, reflexblue began with a total of three employees and in the past ten years has evolved into a strong team of 13, not unlucky for us. Brian Nicolson remembers the promise made to him at the very beginning by the MD, that their first year of business would be different. He promised that they would be able to take breaks to watch the World Cup however, as Brian recalls, a total of fifteen minutes was all they ever saw of that World Cup. A visual of how busy the company has been from the offset, something we cannot complain about, however much we wanted to see Brazil beat Germany.

As we have grown, of course, so too has technology. Back in the beginning, before Internet, poor Scott had the task of sending the adverts.  At that time it took an hour to send a single one, something which is now instant. We would like to send a big thank you to George at Lateral Line, who allowed us to use his technology before we were up-to-date.

Another aspect of reflexblue that has changed in the last decade is where we work. Our first offices were at 3 Fitzroy Place, back when we had one office on a floor above the other. This was always awkward when someone would phone for an employee in the other office, but we couldn’t complain about the lack of exercise the job entailed. We would also like to thank our landlord Douglas Dixon & Son for helping us back then. Several years later we moved into where we are now, The Studio. Being an old recording studio was a great advantage for us as it was an empty shell and over the years we have gone to great efforts to make it our own.

Since 2002 we have come together countless times for birthdays, engagements, weddings and even christenings, marking changes in the lives of all of us here at reflexblue. We’ve had a fantastic ten years and we’re looking forward to the next, we’re sure it will come in no time.

Doesn't that look nice (the cake)

First slice of our celebratory cake.

'I want cake!'

Yum!

Perfect mid-morning treat

Thank you for the champagne

Leave some for us Gill.
