Matthew created an animation for us that was clear, engaging, and accessible for the public. He listened carefully to our needs and helped identify our video branding and style. At several points we requested tweaks and he gave us useful ideas and suggestions for improvement. Matthew completed the animation work promptly and delivered on schedule. His communication throughout the project was professional and helpful.

Robert YarrSwansea University

Working with Matt we had a specific brief to create two bespoke videos with interlinked narratives that were languageless and easy to understand, with consistency in look and feel being crucial. The videos delivered were perfect for our requirements and Matt was accommodating and efficient throughout the process. Highly recommended!

We approached Matt with a project to distill a complex new app into a simple, easy to follow ‘how to’ video within a tight deadline. Matt approached each step with transparent communication, clarity on his needs or dependencies and was highly receptive to new ideas and iterations during the process – which is critical as an early stage company. Would definitely work with Matt again.

Matt approached our project at the NHS with creativity and professionalism from the start. We were incredibly happy with the first draft, and only needed minor changes, which were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Matt was also incredibly patient with our team, and was a joy to work with. Thank you Matt!
