We hired Orbis Production Company to produce a documentary and a promo of our London-based studio. When choosing a video production company, our main priority was to find a great team with a relevant experience shooting interviews and documentaries.

Orbis did a lot of hard work, which resulted in a wonderful 30-minute-long documentary and several 90-second-long teaser videos for social media. Everybody knows their role and their task, which makes management and the whole process seamless. We were particularly impressed with their management's communication and responsiveness to our feedback.
