The Bigger Picture

The Vision

We see it, we plan it, we execute it. Our belief in collaboration and sharing of our vision is so that you know when you rent a piece of equipment from Nu Visual Rentals, you are supporting our long term goals of enabling you to create without limitations.

As you accrue experience and undertake more ambitious projects requiring even higher value audio-visual rentals, we will grow with you.

Nu Visual Rentals will be the development focussed one-stop shop for all your audio visual equipment rental needs in Barbados and in time, the Caribbean Region.

Phase 1 (2022-2024)

If you have made it this far, then you are already bearing witness to the major component of Phase 1, which is the purchase of equipment and implementation of systems to commence our service to you. As time progresses, we will be acquiring an edit suite that editors can rent with fully licensed editing softwares for more intensive projects.

This phase will also see see us having a studio area that can be used for small shoots, and a sound box area for those who want to record voice overs, or even song demos.

This would allow video and audio practitioners to avoid technical deficits when it comes to the production of their content. In Barbados, we don’t have the luxury of same day shipping of a system. So if an editor or artiste has technical difficulties with their equipment, there will be no need to worry. They can rest assured, we will have a solution to allow them to get the project to the client on time, or that demo to the music scout.

Phase 2 (2024-2027)

In Phase 2, we will commence a wave of expansion of the equipment rental options on offer and continue to form synergies to meet demand.

This is when we launch into investing in even higher-end professional equipment and cloud storage capacity as we anticipate the need to increase the company’s cloud capacity. This will be to serve as a redundancy for the secure storage of footage from rental customers using the creative editing suite when it comes on stream as well as new and existing clients.

This phase will position us to not only better serve the local markets but to be able to generate foreign exchange as many international productions entering Barbados would be able to also utilise our inventory in partnership with other local businesses to supplement any shortfalls. While this is not a core focus, it will be a welcomed benefit of our growth.

We have been able to critically examine the local market through our extensive networks and market research with some of the island’s leading creatives; as well as independently commissioned studies, which will be an ongoing initiative. We have also had valuable feedback from international producers such as Emmy Award winning producer, Felix Golubev of Associated Producers who has produced films for the likes of Samuel L. Jackson.

Dependent on the cost and logistics of intra-regional shipping during this period, we will begin to explore shipping options to our neighbouring islands of higher value equipment.

Phase 3 (2027-2032)

In Phase 3, we will push the boundaries as far as you need us too. We will continue to improve and expand our equipment offering and studio services.

Additionally, we will create a user-friendly stock footage website of Caribbean people, Caribbean landscapes, Caribbean culture. This will go hand-in-hand with the vision our intent of greater preservation of the cultural and creative fabric of the islands through the archival of 4K, 6K, and 8K media in the coming decade.

Our goal is to ensure that when our children and their children in the future look back on life in the Caribbean many decades in the past, it is as if they were there in the flesh, in Ultra High Definition (UHD).

This phase will see us lead an unprecedented level of collaboration between Caribbean creatives.
