Eric really helped them to understand audiences, shape their messaging, develop their presenting style and even brought his own equipment to help them hone their skills. The training was really well thought out, with lots of communication leading up to the session with a great balance of theory and practice.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric did an outstanding job creating a video for the council's ambitious Town Hall Quarter project. We had several key messages and updates to convey, and he provided great support every step of the way. From help crafting the script and storyboard to doing voiceovers, Eric brought our vision to life seamlessly. The end result was engaging and effective, and we're thrilled with the outcome. — The Comms Team

The turnaround time from shooting footage to final edited video is very quick and the quality has been fantastic.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric has been absolutely amazing when we worked together on a new brand video for HUC Healthcare - he really grasped what we wanted, made sure we got what we needed out of it and the result has been outstanding, so many positive comments!! Can't recommend him enough and will definitely work with him again in the future.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At Classfoto we hired Eric to film the video for our website. We gave him a small brief of what we wanted, and he came up with a storyboard which was ready to go, threw in the backing music and delivered an end product which was perfect for our needs. We felt we had picked the wrong setting, and asked Eric if he would reshoot it for us with a few changes. He did so with the utmost professionalism, amazing patience, and was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Eric for all your Videography needs! 10/10

Eric did a remarkable job at making my production look slick, professional and ensured all involved were caught with different camera points and points of focus. Eric was reliable, listened to all my ideas and took them on board for the final edit. He was affordable and easy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eric to anybody!
