Given that we had not previously produced videos, Stefan was really in a teaching role, helping us learn how to design and then deliver the message we wanted to convey. His advice covered everything from how to create an effective brief, the words and phrases in the scripts, the settings, everything really. He was eternally patient with us, gradually steering us towards effective communication of our message.
It was also clear from the very beginning that we were working with a ‘filmmaker’ not just a videographer. In fact that remains my strongest impression of Stefan’s work – meticulous attention to detail, gentle but firm guidance on how to get our message across, and most importantly, deep sensitivity to the values of the organisation.
And all of this just happened organically. We didn’t know what we were doing, but Stefan did. He someone we will continue to return to for future work.
