Video Production Testimonials

We have received many testimonials from people we have worked with over the years. Here is a small selection:

I have had the pleasure of working with David Felber on two films..... He was the force behind both of them. A man with vision and determination. Dedicated and with a sense of purpose he led the team well both as a producer and a director.... The second film took place mostly in Africa in difficult circumstances since we were filming with wild animals... Therefore situations no matter how well rehearsed were often risky and outcomes not guaranteed... He always had a sense of humour and knew what he wanted... And nearly always got it, though sometimes not immediately.... He was always a pleasure to work with...I admired his tenacity enthusiasm and leadership...It was a pleasure working with and for him...

I have worked with David and the team at Production Zone on the filming and production for our Virtual Experience site and would not hesitate in recommending them. Many of the people involved in the project were not experienced in front of the camera, but David made them feel comfortable and always produced a great result. We have found them flexible, passionate and professional and they will always go the extra mile to over deliver on a project. They are great people to work with.

Jane Fenwick, Head of Marketing and Development Leeds University Business School

The Production Zone produced a promotional school video for Leeds Languages in June 2011. In all dealings from initial briefing, through the creative process, down to delivery of the finished product we found David and his team an absolute pleasure to work with. The finished video can be seen on our website - www.leedslanguages.co.uk - so judge for yourself! Feedback to us on the video has been 100% positive, so I would have no hesitation in recommending the Production Zone to anyone.

Adam Pernak, School Director Leeds Languages

I defy you not to be uplifted, entertained and educated by this wonderful documentary of Gary at work. Every family should have a copy and watch it once a week for sheer ‘feel-good’

Jenny Seagrove, actress and conservationist commenting on “Wild at Art”

I have worked with David and the team at The Production Zone on producing a short film of testimonials from our health club members which has been widely received by both potential members and the industry. All agree that this quality film is an asset to our website and a unique selling tool to encourage members to sample the club. They managed the production with sensitivity and professionalism and achieved, with ease, the desired effect – a non elitist approach to leisure with an eclectic mix of members taking ownership and pride in their club. So thank you David, and all the team, for your efforts and for following our brief to a tee!

Philippa Shackleton, Managing Director The Academy Health Club and Spa

The Production Zone have produced a teaching and learning video for us. This involved filming actual lessons showing different aspects of Assessment for Learning. The team were thoroughly professional from beginning to end and we have a quality resource which has been used across North Yorkshire as a training tool for experienced teachers to NQTs. Partner schools in Australia have also used it as part of their ongoing professional development. I would certainly use the team again & happily recommend them to anyone.

Pat Hunter, Headteacher Rossett School

We recently commissioned David to produce a DVD for us and he was a joy to work with. Being totally new to this area we were a little apprehensive at first however, David soon provided us with the guidance and expertise required. The result of our collaboration exceeded our expectations and we quickly returned to David with another filming project.

Trevor Lambourne, Operations Manager Digital Print CIC

I would like to take this opportunity to say how grateful we are for the work you did in producing the Introduction to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) DVD’s for the National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre. We had very particular need that we wanted to achieve. This was to produce a film of the delivery of our standardised Introduction to GCP course. Local facilitators will use this film across the National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Networks. It was clear, right from the start that you listened to us and were able to produce exactly what we were looking for. You and your team showed tremendous flexibility both on the day of filming and in modifying the materials. The end result was a credit to your professional approach and your eye for detail. The DVD’s that you produced were tailored to our needs and excelled our original expectations. Your professional and courteous approach was matched by the quality of your materials. We have no hesitation in recommending anyone to work with The Production Zone and look forward to working with you again.

Paul Maher National Institute for Health Research, Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre

David was a fantastic Producer and a joy to work with on You, Me and Hep C. I cannot recommend him highly enough. The DVD has been exceptionally well received as a training tool in Her Majesty’s Prisons. Its specialist educational content and tailored style led it to be nominated for an award at the British Universities Film & Video Council’s Learning on Screen Awards. The finished product is testament to David’s incredible dedication.

Charlotte Tompkins Leeds Primary Care Trust

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your colleagues for making our video, 'Understanding Neuropathic Pain'. I have been impressed not only by your wide range of technical skills and your willingness to capture exactly what we were looking for but also your skills in dealing with people not used to being filmed.

It has been fascinating to see the entire process involved, and your advice on the structure of the video, the need for a voiceover, the choice of music, cover design and all the many different aspects of producing a DVD have all been extremely valuable. Your perfectionism in wanting to meet our requirements has ensured that the end product is exactly what we were hoping for. During the time spent making this film, I have appreciated your willingness to be flexible, at the same time as meeting those all-important deadlines!

I have really enjoyed working with you and hope that we will have further opportunities to work together.

Professor S. José Closs School of Healthcare, University of Leeds

Just a note to say thank you so much to you and your team for the fantastic job that you did on the DVD for us. The directors from 42 other Universities were extremely impressed in the quality of the film and in the fact that you managed to film, edit and produce in a day.

Personally for me your professionalism, kindness and enthusiasm for the idea shone out it was a great pleasure to work with you. We really look forward to working with you again on future projects.

Beverley Kenny, Assistant Director (Catering and Conferencing) Residential and Commercial Services, University of Leeds

Just wanted to say thanks to you and the team for all the work you did on our promotional videos for the Business School. You were a pleasure to work with and your advice, enthusiasm, flexibility and determination to deliver work to the highest quality was much appreciated and reflected in the final product. We are really pleased with the videos and have enjoyed being part of the whole process of putting them together. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
