“We have worked with Blackstar Pictures on many projects over the years and they have been great to work with; especially as we were new to the world of filming and editing. Nothing is too much trouble and they are quick to turn around projects within tight deadlines.”
Nicola Ross, Twinings International Marketing
“I've collaborated with BlackStar Pictures for the realization of corporate videos, case history interviews, technical video documentaries, professional portraits and photoshooting. BlackStar are extremely professional, they not only have a deep understanding of the customer needs but also put their professionalism first in helping meet the communication target. They work with professional equipment providing an accurate and high standard quality output. The full knowledge of English and German language is one of the best extra skills I appreciate more, since that was extremely important to revise and direct non English speaking clients in the accents and text check. I will keep working with BlackStar in the future and I recommend them to everybody.”
Elisa Guernieri, Head of Communication, Opto Engineering
“In terms of feedback nothing but good from my point of view, both you and Tom made the whole process extremely easy and fun from the get-go – love that you aren’t afraid to say when something isn’t right and to go again during filming and prior to that in the “ideation stages” your input is invaluable. Thank you for bringing it all together for us and I hope to see you guys again soon, it has been a pleasure working with you both.”
