Testimonials
“VSO’s Strategic Review – An Update may not be the most compelling of film titles – but Joe managed to create a corporate film that is interesting and even entertaining. He took a potentially dull and difficult subject matter and produced a film that tells a story, engages its audience and looks utterly professional.”
Fleur Deeson, Corporate Communications Advisor, VSO.
“Joe Shaw has produced the perfect film to promote our organisation (EC1 New Deal for Communities). He has managed to capture the essence of our work in a way that is convincing, sincere and very beautiful. We did not want a stuffy corporate film because that’s not what our organisation is about and Joe helped us to develop a concept that really works. From the initial brainstorming stage through to selecting the right soundtrack and during the entire filming process, Joe was professional, dedicated and enthusiastic. We now have a film we are very proud of which continues to receive praise from all who watch it.”
Kate Arnold – Communications Manager, EC1 NDC
“To celebrate Raleigh’s first expedition to India in February 2008 and to bring the expedition to life for potential customers and stakeholders we commissioned Joe to visit the expedition for a couple of weeks and create a variety of short films for our website and a promotional DVD. Joe built an excellent rapport with all those involved with the expedition and really got stuck into the adventure and challenge. The final films Joe created with footage, graphics and music perfectly capture the spirit of a Raleigh expedition, the impact of the projects on the local communities and the transformational journey that the participants go through.”
Rachel Collinson – Head of Sales and Marketing for Raleigh International
” This film brilliantly highlights the key points about an inclusive education system. The film shows inclusion in action – at school and in the community. It’s really positive and has been received well by everyone that has had the opportunity to see it. We used the film to support events at each of the political party conferences this year, the impact was immediate and this is exactly what we wanted the film to achieve. Many thanks to Joe who did a brilliant job on pulling all the messages together so succinctly.”
Sasha Daly – Policy and Parlimentary Manager, TreeHouse
“Joe directed our annual corporate video for the first time this year, which featured three service users and members of staff. The production of the video is usually a really stressful time with lots of rushing around and general chaos! But not with Joe. He managed the whole process making it stress-free and enjoyable. He digested our brief and listened to our requirements, but also put forward a whole host of ideas about how we could best achieve our aim. He met up with case studies prior to filming and organised the filming schedule and locations. Nothing was too much trouble.
Most of the people we filmed had never been in front of a film crew before, but Joe put them at ease which meant that we got really natural, genuine responses from them.
The result? A fantastic, high quality documentary-style corporate video which illustrates the work of the council and the impact it has on residents in an emotional and engaging way.
A big thank you for all your help, Joe!”
Laura Fyall, Internal Communicatons Officer, Islington Council
