‘The City Council engaged Paul to help us showcase the best of Birmingham’s efforts to become a leading green city. From inception through to handover, Paul demonstrated a professional and meticulous approach to planning, filming and production. The project exceeded our expectations with unique and visually stunning films that communicated our key messages excellently.’

Alison Wood. Media Manager. Knowledge Train -
‘Paul is very friendly and easy to get along with which made the whole experience very enjoyable. Being in front of a camera was quite nerve-wracking for some of us, but Paul and his team were very patient and helped to make everyone feel at ease. The videos look absolutely brilliant. I would recommend them to anyone looking to shoot any type of video, you won’t be disappointed!’
