Amfilms is a video production company based in the Yorkshire Dales, England. We specialise in the production of  local dales documentaries, travel video and medical video. 

The company was established in 1981. Originally producing advice video tapes in the medical sphere, on such subjects as heart disease and contraception. Also at that time producing tapes of Yorkshire Dales scenery and people.

For the past ten years the company has produced music video tapes with a brass band from the local area, travel videos, documentaries, advertising video material and programmes screened in public waiting areas.

From 1977 the company founders used Super 8 sound film shot in a Beaulieu 5008s camera and this equipment is still in use as it was in 1981 when Amfilms produced its first commercial material for a German food packaging company. 

The company then moved on to video, originally using low band UMatic and  progressed on to SVHS, Hi8 and DV equipment.  We now use a full online digital editing suite and offline Adobe Premiere with Matrox RT hardware, using material sourced from 3 chip video cameras, full size and mini DV/DVCAM. Widescreen production using an anamorphic lens rather than letterboxing of the chip or in post-production.
