Chris has amassed considerable experience on both sides of the camera. I have also worked on numerous live shows worldwide, and have appeared at venues such as the O2 Arena, with artists such as Maria Carey and Lee Evans. I also work as an Assistant Director, typically crowd third.
Chris has access to many genuine costumes/uniforms, including period or historical pieces, please see the photos. Please let me know of your individual specific requirements, I promise I will do my best to help, and I look forward to working with you
While our bigger props and vehicles are located conveniently just outside London in Hertfordshire, we also have premises in Islington, North London. We're just a short walk from Caledonian Road tube station which has proven ideal for dropping off/picking up those smaller last-minute props.
Our primary service is supplying supporting artists for your period wartime production. We own all our costumes and all associated small props to bring each character alive. Our supporting roles over the years in film and television speak for themselves but we offer so much more.
We can also provide period set dressing items from our constantly expanding inventory. From small items such as period newspapers up to larger props such as sentry boxes.
Our ever-expanding UK-wide inventory has grown to include both military and now civilian period vehicles from push bikes to trucks.
Both David and Christoper are well accustomed to working in front of the camera but just as comfortable in production as associate producers and assistant directors/production coordinators roles. Wartime Productions works with clients such as English Heritage providing historical performances and coordinating WW2-themed events.
From award-winning short films and TV documentaries to major cinema releases here at Wartime Productions we strive for authenticity and will work with you to achieve the highest standards for your production.
