What Does Being “Ethical” Mean?
“We worked with Picture Book Films on a series of promotional videos for our social media channels, and were so impressed with the results. James, Mitch and the team took time to really understand our brief, our brand and our tone of voice, and the three days of filming went without a hitch. The final films delivered on every level; they were entertaining, well-edited and beautifully shot.”
“We had a specific brief and budget for a video that would need to reach a diverse target audience. James, and his team from Picture Book Films, took me through the process step by step. Through the initial scoping, implementation and delivery, all agreed timelines were successfully met.
The team used clever, innovative design ideas and suggestions. Flexibility with filming schedules and last minute changes, from me, emphasised their adaptability to the client’s needs. But the end product is the final benchmark and I was delighted with the finished video!”
“We are thrilled with the wonderful film that Picturebook Films have produced about Ceres Power. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how well crafted and engaging it is, which is a great testament to James and Claire’s skill and experience.
Despite a tight deadline, they took the time to understand our business and produced an inspiring film that tells a high tech business story in a compelling way. They were a pleasure to work with, going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that the final edit was just right.”
“We have recently worked with the Picture Book Films team on the development, production and completion of a new TV Advert that will be aired on terrestrial TV this year. The challenge for us was how to have a really impactful TV commercial that needed to be innovative, inspiring and highly original – the Picture Book Films team have exceeded all our expectations. We have an excellent TV commercial and are simply delighted with the results, and this has been confirmed by our stakeholders.
I have worked with several TV production and blue chip agencies in the past, but Picture Book Films genuinely stands out by virtue of the attention to detail, quick response, and professional passion that they apply to their work. They are also a great team to work with and I have no reservations in recommending them to other clients.”
“Working with the Picture Book team was a fantastic experience. The whole process from start to finish was very slick and the team brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The kit was of the highest quality and the locations were perfect. They even magically transformed a small bar into an Ibiza nightclub!
The final result is beautiful and has been a great success for our company. The Picture Book team managed to create a video that appeals to customers, investors and the public alike.”
