About
PolycordFilmworks started in 1988 as Polycord Sound and Image Recording as a small company working mainly with audio and small video jobs. Our first client was Sony Music Portugal at that time CBS Portugal and soon followed Universal (Polygram),EMI, RTP Rádio Renascença and many others. Soon the market started to change and our area spread to film and video recording having many music video and interviews for our customers ranging from Julio Iglésias, Ricky Martin, Joe Satriani, Jacques Morelenbaum, Fáfá de Belém, Vanessa da Mata, Ivete Sangalo, Daniela Mercury and many otheres. For several years Polycord recorded and edited more than 20 TV commercials a month and an average of 5 music videos every 30 days. As the market kept evolving we were the content suppliers and programming responsibles for GigaShopping.tv (which was cable aired) and several other broadband channels in Portugal and around the world. The business in Brasil started in 1998 and has been active for some years until recently when we actually shifted our work to other Brasilian companies. During the years we worked with major broadcast companies from Sky TV to CNN etc…
Today we are aimed at producing our own content and providing customers with turnkey solutions for both their TV and internet. We try at PolycordFilmworks to be on the cutting edge of the technology and we have our own R&D team which developed the Squirrel Gimbal camera stabilizers officially launched at IBC (Amsterdam) in 2013 and manufactured by Squirrel Innovations based in the UK.
