against plan.

for review and adjustments agreed.

12. Testimonials
“John created an excellent film for us which was a key tool in a campaign. He
was fantastic to work with - creative, responsive, patient, and ultimately
outstanding at creating engaging video content. He took on every aspect of the
project, including the soundtrack and voiceover, and we were absolutely
delighted with the result. I would absolutely recommend John if you are looking
for a video producer with a real grasp of social media. Orangutan SOS
John captured the essence of our event perfectly. As a result, his video has
become a really useful 'shop window' for us to showcase what it's all about.
He's knowledgeable about what's possible and great to work with. CRUNCH
We’re absolutely delighted with the video of the Moor Park 10k that John made.
It is delightful and really captures the flavour of the day. Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre
John makes sure he fully understands the products he shoots so his work is a true
reflection of the product and brand. Easy to work with & a creative thinker.” Ashmei
