Filmbase is delighted to be partnering with Compuhire for 2024/25. Compuhire is your go-to company for any scene involving a screen - and what is shown on that screen. If you’ve seen Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker, No Time to Die, or The Matrix Resurrections, to name just three, then you’ll know Compuhire’s incredible motion graphics capabilities. Compuhire is experienced in working with all budgets - low-end and high-end - and all departments, from pre-production through to shooting and post-production. Compuhire has a huge range of modern and period computer props to hire. Whatever you want to show on those screens, the company’s creative arm, Studio C Design, can craft bespoke, state-of-the-art visual effects for you. On-set, Compuhire’s team is there to ensure playback is smooth. Compuhire is going to be working with us on a number of projects over the year and has already been behind our online yoga sessions, which proved very popular! Compuhire.com and studiocdesign.tv

BECTU is the trade union that fights for fair working conditions and professional standards for everyone in the UK film and TV industry, including the Art, Set Dec and Props Departments. Whilst Filmbase focuses on getting our members jobs, and helping employers find crew, BECTU's aim is to protect workers when they are on those jobs, to negotiate contracts and produce rate cards for crew members. We often work with BECTU to host webinars and work on issues that affect crew members. 

You can find out more about joining BECTU here.

The Art Department Branch of BECTU also has its own website. 

The Film and TV Charity has joined us for webinars and events focused on issues within the industry, and we are very happy to support its work. If you work behind the scenes in film, TV or cinema, the Film and TV Charity is here to support you. Whatever your position, you can expect a friendly ear at the end of the charity's 24/7 Film and TV Support Line, as well as access to financial advice and support, help with mental wellbeing, including free counselling, and a host of other practical tools and resources. The charity also offers a confidential Bullying Advice Service, as well as bespoke advice for employers. Visit Filmtvcharity.org.uk to find out how they can support you.
