SVS Productions is a family run Television & Video Productions company based outside Draperstown, Northern Ireland.

Centrally located at the heart of Northern Ireland / Mid Ulster, we are within a 1 hour drive from anywhere in Northern Ireland.

Started in March 1998 by Terry Hegarty, the aim was to produce video coverage of Irish Motorsport or in particular Special Stage Rally Events. Their competitor friendly video productions became very popular as they were the only production available that included every competitor that took part in that event - instead of the typical 'top 10 cars' style format that was 'the norm' at that time.

These videos evolved over time as support grew and more equipment became available to include commentary, graphics, onboard camera footage, interviews, etc. Then in 2002, SVS began to supply their coverage to television stations such as UTV and BBC Northern Ireland for local news coverage.

In 2003, the SVS team established their own television programme series called 'RallyMax TV' distributed to:
- The Sky Sports Network (which reached all over Europe and even South Africa) and on
- The Granada Sky Broadcasting Network via their Men & Motors Channel
- And across the Republic of Ireland on the Chorus Sports Network.

We believe that it was seen in many places even further than that due to interest received over the internet but we can confirm that the programmes were available in the areas mentioned above as we were there to see it for ourselves even though it was only supposed to be broadcast within the UK. The RallyMax series was continued for 3 years until November 2005 and provided much needed coverage for championships and events such as:

- The MSA Northern Ireland Rally Championship
- The MSA Northern Ireland Clubman Rally Championship
- The MSA Northern Ireland Hillclimb Championship
- The MSA Northern Ireland Spint Championship
- The Motorsport Ireland Irish Forest Rally Championship
- The Castle Hellfire Rally
- The West Cork Rally
- And Many More....

Other facilities were made available during this time and have been continued ever since such as:

- Camera Operators / Crew Hire
- Specialist Mini Cam / Onboard / Incar Camera Hire
- Internet Services / Website Design & Maintenance
- Graphic Design & Printing Services
- Audio Visual Services (Crew & Equipment Hire)
- VHS & DVD Duplication Facilities
- Video Editing Facilities
- etc.

SVS Productions are still very dedicated to providing their facilities to Motorsport events all over Ireland and sometimes across in the UK. Especially the 'Incar Camera Hire' side of the business can still be found at almost all Irish Rally Events every weekend. For more details on that please visit the Incars Page - Click Here.....

Our Incar Cameras have been used to provide coverage to hundreds of competitors privately but coverage has also been seen publically via TV Programmes such as:

- Our own TV Coverage - (RallyMax TV / Sky Sports / Men & Motors / Chorus Sport / UTV / BBC Northern Ireland / RTE)
- RPM (UTV / RTE / TV3 / Motors TV / Sky Sports)
- Rally Fever (Sky Sports)
- World Motor Sport (Sky Sports)

Our Web Design / Internet Services department is admittedly still in its infancy. So far we have undertaken the management of websites for clients such as motor clubs, rally drivers, photographers, and other rally based businesses. Some of our clients include:

- Autofashion (Official) Ltd - www.autofashion.ie
- Ballynahinch Motor Club Ltd - www.ballynahinchmotorclub.com
- Marty McCormack (Rally Driver) - www.martymccormack.com
- The Down Rally - www.downrally.com
- And of course we look after all the SVS Websites (RallyMax.tv, svstv.ie, svsproductions.com, etc.)

Regularly we are asked to provide personnel and equipment to clients on behalf of AV or Audio Visual & Events Companies. Camera operators, camera equipment, vision mixers, large projected or plasma screens and sound packages are the normal requests. To date most of this work has been sub-contracted to us from companies who deal soley in these areas but do not always have the man power or equipment to cover all their clients when there are multiple bookings for the same date for example.
We have assisted companies such as:

- AEL Video Ltd
- Focus AV Ltd
- Creative Events (NI) Ltd

and hope to continue working with them in the future along with many others.

Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what we do and what we can do. Obviously the above is only examples of what we have done and the potential or opportunity to expand into other areas is always welcome.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this and we hope that we can help you sometime in the future.

Best Regards,


The SVS Productions Team
