We have worked with Paul and Opus Media for a number of years, as one of our trusted part-ners, on various online projects. It’s important for us that we can recommend partners to our clients knowing that the standard of work is high and that what is promised is delivered. Opus Media has an outstanding knowledge of the video/film industry and can be relied upon to respond brilliantly to cli-ents’ briefs, advise on potential improvements with alternative ideas and creative suggestions, pro-vide excellent direction on location, and produce consistently fantastic high-quality material on deliv-ery. Paul’s experience in the sector is reflected in the standard of Opus’ work, he’s an utterly lovely guy to work with, and is the consummate professional. Super company, and we look forward to work-ing together on more many projects in the future.

Paul and his team stepped in to produce an animated video for us with a very tight timeframe. We worked collaboratively and I know the team pulled night shifts to get this done for us. It was a delight to work with Opus from start to finish and we couldn’t be more delighted with the end result. I defi-nitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone and will be back to them again with our next project. Thanks guys.

Working with them was excellent – a steady hand guiding us through the process – it’s was a breeze and the end product is good enough to be run on TV as well as the web. Can’t recommend them enough.

Britt Jurgensen

As an organisation we have been filmed on many occasions, but we have never worked with a com-pany that was as professional, considerate & courteous as Opus Media. When they arrived on site, they told us that if they were in the way that we should tell them to move so as not to disrupt our day-to-day operations, but we didn’t have too. They were happy to work around us to get the footage they needed; it was like they were not even there. We would not hesitate to recommend Opus Media for the filming needs of any organisation
