The DVD was produced for the city's Youth Offending Service and will be used as part of its acclaimed Knife Crime Prevention Programme, which shows young people the dangers of carrying a knife and the devastating impact on the community and the victim.

Councillor Marilyn Fielding, Liverpool's executive member for Safer, Stronger Communities, said: "This pioneering project is changing attitudes, reducing re-offending and making Liverpool even safer. By intervening quickly and working closely with offenders to show them the dangers of carrying weapons we are helping prevent assaults and injuries and potentially saving lives."

Professor Elizabeth Loftus speaks....

One of the latest DVD Videos we have produced with Uniview Worldwide features Professor Elizabeth Loftus using real life cases to explore the ethics of implanting false memories and the practices of some psychotherapists.

This fascinating material provides many examples of the malleability of the human mind and the potential for both harm and good that controlling memory can offer. Loftus references well-known studies such as "Lost in the Mall" and goes on to discuss the methodology of more recent studies exploring the implanting of false memories.

Following her professional involvement in a range of legal cases, Loftus expresses her concern about the dependence on eyewitness testimony in the justice system, as the rise of DNA evidence is now beginning to highlight just how unreliable this evidence can be.

This short video extract will give you a taster of the DVD. The full 'Loftus Speaks' DVD is available on-line from Uniview Worldwide Ltd, the leading supplier of psychology resources in the UK.

Video coverage of The Danone Nations Cup at Everton FC

We are a little late with this blog post but we are just catching up after a very busy few months!

One of the jobs we filmed in May this year was a multiple-camera shoot at Everton Football Club of The Danone Nations Cup. We had just 1 days notice to cover the event but we are always happy to oblige our clients!

The Danone Nations Cup, whose global ambassador is the legendary French footballer Zinedine Zidane, is now in its ninth year and has become the world's biggest football tournament for girls and boys aged 10-12, bringing together 600 competitors from over 40 different countries. This year UK ambassador is Phil Jagielka. During May we had a Spanish student on a 5-week work placement with us and he was delighted to have the chance to interview a sporting hero!

View the video of the interview with Phil Jagielka and see the winners of the 2009 Danone Nations UK cup finals Arch Bishop Beck.

Archbishop Beck College are now not only national champions but they will be sending a squad to represent England at the Danone Nations Cup in Brazil in October 2009!

The ACPO Police Public Bravery Awards

We have recently completed a DVD video of the The ACPO Police Public Bravery Awards, which were held on 8th July 2009 at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Manchester.

The ceremony honoured members of the public for their extraordinary bravery and dedication to civic duty.

"These awards showcase some extraordinary stories which demonstrate selfless acts by ordinary members of the public. These acts assisted police in making arrests and in several cases prevented victims of crime from coming to further harm." Meredydd Hughes, Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police and honorary secretary of the awards.

Insight worked in association with Ace Audio Visual Ltd (Conference and Event Specialists) to produce the DVD Video of the event.

New Video for Find Your Talent

Insight spent a very busy day yesterday filming the CORE event at Haydock Racecourse with students from Rainhill High school.

The Cultural Offer Regional Event was designed to share ideas and best practise in relation to the new 'Find Your Talent' initiative and the Cultural Offer. The scheme is currently running as a pilot by two areas in the North West - Liverpool and Bolton - who shared their experiences and knowledge with other regions.

We were lucky to find some very talented young people from Rainhill who presented the video, interviewed delegates and assisted with the video production.

The aim of the Cultural Offer is for every young person to have 5 hours of culture a week. As you can imagine the event was full of ideas and very interesting debates on what is culture.

We now have the challenge of editing all the footage captured into a 5-minute video!

NEW CAR CRIME DVD LAUNCHED

The latest DVD video from Insight Moving Images Ltd has been launched today at Liverpool FACT.

‘Reverse Gear’ highlights the dangers of joyriding and drink driving for young people and the impact this can have on their family and friends.

The DVD video was produced by Insight for Liverpool Youth Offending Service.

The video will be used in preventative workshops at the Youth Offending Centre and shown to pupils at the city's secondary schools as part of the Car Offending Programme, which aims to reduce the number of youngsters who get involved in vehicle crime.

Reverse Gear has several chapters designed to encourage discussion among young people about what to do if placed in a similar situation, and explore how the actions of an individual can put others in danger.

Please be advised this film contains some strong language.

Councillor Marilyn Fielding, Liverpool's executive member for safer, stronger communities, said: "This thought-provoking film is a graphic way of illustrating the dangers of drink driving and joyriding. By bringing this issue to life in a realistic way on screen, we can get a strong message across to young people that there can be horrific consequences from their actions. This will send out a very powerful message to many young people and hopefully prevent accidents or even deaths."
