Scottish Chamber Orchestra

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra (SCO) is based in Edinburgh and is internationally celebrated.  They aim to provide as many opportunities as possible for people to hear live orchestral music by touring the length and breadth of Scotland and worldwide as proud ambassadors for Scottish cultural excellence. In recent years, the SCO has travelled throughout Europe, the Far East, India and the USA.

STROMA Films & The Scottish Chamber Orchestra

We were delighted when the SCO commissioned us to create a profile film to introduce their new principal conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev. We met up with him as he prepared for his debut performance of Haydn’s The Seasons at the Usher Hall.

After that film, we went on to create a further 2 featured artist films about François Leleux and Pekka Kuusisto.

The films can be viewed on our website or on the SCO's website - Max Emelyanychev.

Design in Motion – V&A Museum of Design, Dundee

The V&A Museum of Design, Dundee will be an international centre of design for Scotland, however the planned opening is not until June 2018.  Until that time there will be a pre-opening programme of events.  Design in Motion is a collaboration with the Travelling Gallery; a custom-built, mobile, contemporary art space inside a big beautiful bus, which brings high quality contemporary art exhibitions and events to schools and communities throughout Scotland.  The bus has been upgraded and re-designed for the Design in Motion exhibition.

All the designers featured use digital technologies to push the boundaries of their discipline.  Design in Motion has visited over 40 schools and colleges across Scotland since February this year and ended the tour outside the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

As part of this exciting project Rapid Visual Media were selected to create 3 films. 

Geoffrey Mann – Products in Motion

Geoffrey Mann is the Programme Director in Glass at Edinburgh College of Art.  His work has been exhibited around the world including The Museum of Modern Art in New York.  Mann is fascinated by transforming the ephemeral nature of time and motion, such as the flight of a bird or the fluttering of a moth, into forms that we can see and hold using photographic and digital technologies.   To learn more about his work and the man himself, please take time to watch our video.

Our final film provides the viewer with an insight into the Design in Motion project, how students and the public responded to the interactive gallery, the new technologies, and the skills of the 7 exciting Scottish designers.  The film also includes some stunning footage of the bus travelling around the beautiful Scottish countryside.
