Testimonials

Just wanted to say, great to be working with you Barry - Kim and I were only saying the other day what a great guy you are and it's really good that we have been able to do more business with you over the last few months."

Clare Bailey | Ginger Productions |

Just wanted to thank you for sorting out our kit and making things run smoothly for the Red Bee job on Wednesday.

It was all very last minute and all the pieces had to fall into place to make things work, including the kit. "

Malcolm Hadley | Redd Bee Media |

All kit worked fantastically well yesterday. Thank you."

Martin Poiner | Partizan Films |

Just wanted to say thanks for you and your teams support on this shoot, it’s looking amazing."

Joanne Crowther | Hardy Pictures | Bloody Foreigners

I have thoroughly enjoyed the service you and your company continues to give. The cafe and screening theatre in Soho is a great idea. And rarely these days is a general manager so hands on, so enthusiastic and so contactable. I really hope this all works out as I really look forward to continue working with you."

Peter Stamford | Producer |

All the rest of the kit worked perfectly with no problems. It was noticeably better presented to a much higher overall standard than suppliers that we have used before. The complete process from making the initial enquiry to the equipment being delivered was made easy by your professional friendly cando attitude. I know who I will be booking equipment with in the future! Please pass on my thanks to all your team."

Edward Capes | BBC | BBC Explorers

Just want to say thanks for all your help its much appreciated. Also I want to mention the delivery driver he was really helpful and delivered the equipment bang on time."

Gavin Conlan | Video Production Group | UK Trade and Investment

I would like to say thank you for helping me, the producers and SinceSeventyNine Productions providing the equipment at a very good rate which otherwise 'starting out' production companies couldn't normally afford and I appreciate what you've done for me."

Dave Chevannes | SinceSeventyNine Production |

I hope all the equipment was received back ok, Jason and Jules assured me all equipment was in good working order and no breakages to report. Thank you for being so helpful over the last few weeks and I will be in touch once we know about the series!"

Steph Burke | Welded Tandem |

You and the team at VMI have been stars! We really appreciate good service!!!!"

Phil Bouchard | Spike Productions |

Just a quick e-mail to say a HUGE THANK-YOU to you and your team for organising and inviting me to the Red training course yesterday. The course itself was immensely useful for me and full of practical knowledge that was very well structured and user friendly. Just what i needed to get my head around the hands on and system set-up menu's of the camera. Tom was an absolute star and his knowledge of the camera was very thorough not to mention impressive!- He was very detailed in the right places and coherent in his presentation- you could clearly see that he had done a lot diligence in preparing for it. As you know i shoot quiet a bit on HD and some film so I am now really looking forward to shooting something on the red and putting it through it's paces."

JJ Odedra, DOP | |

Thanks for all your help in our project, you’ve been great"

Janet Potter | Cheek to Cheek |

Just wanted to email to thank you for all the help you and the other staff at VMI gave us over the last week. We really couldnt have pulled off the miracle of 3 music videos in 4 days without you guys."

Leo Pearlman | Fullwell 73 Productions |

Richie - We'd like to say a special thank you to you and all at VMI for your support on our community film the 'Dream Girl' project.

Everyone worked so hard in such a tremendous effort to make the project happen. We are so proud of the young people involved in the project and that they achieved the standard of work that they did. It wouldnt have been possible to make such a wonderful looking production without the support offered to us by your company."

Nicola Burgess | Film 15 Productions Limited | Dream Girl

Thanks alot for everything with regards the equipment, your company was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use you again."

Andy Taylor Smith | |

Hope this mail finds you well. Just wanted to say thank you very much for the deal you cut us on the last Mother shoot - I was very happy with the Canon lenses (having never used them before) and the Glimmer Glasses worked a treat! All in all I felt it went very well."

Luke Bryant | Mother | Post Office Commercial

I really enjoyed you and your company’s hospitality. I think you guys have a brilliant attitude, do a grand job and very much look forward to working with you in the future on other productions."

Damien Pawle | | Short Film

Just wanted to say thanks for your help Gerard did a great job, footage looks fantastic, will call when have another job."

Shaun Dyos | WCRS | 118118 Commercial

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your support and advice on the recent HD Varicam shoots for the Reda's. From the FedEx tape saga to the Varicam blacks issue and even Nigel's illness - you had good practical solutions for all! Even when we were unable to return the kit due to illness, you resolved this on the same day. At every opportunity, both you and your staff delivered a level of service way beyond the 'call of duty'.

It takes a while to build trust on both sides regarding kit rentals with new companies, without doubt (and we have hired kit from many reputable hire companies over the years), the quality of VMI's kit is outstanding - every time. We really wish we'd started renting from VMI years earlier."

Lou Clarke | Watchmore TV | Redas

I was really happy with service and the help we got from VMI, no doubt we will be using you again"

Paul Young | Zeal |

I would like to confirm how happy I was with the equipment and with the support from VMI (Kevin Oaten), everything worked to plan as well as the brilliant service and advice from Dynamic re: customs. I would also like to say, although I was a little worried prior to our departure, that the HPX 500 Panasonic P2 camera and memory cards, worked extremely well. Obviously when faced with a new system and in a country such as Sudan, miles away from any services, isolated in a small village, it is a huge risk and concern, but all went brilliantly. A little more work for the Cameraman, Angus Macfadyen, with the downloading time, but to be able to view rushes on my laptop was a huge asset and ultimately will save a lot of downloading time back at base.

Annie Gibbs | Ragdoll Productions | What Makes me Happy

It has been refreshingly easy doing business with VMI and it's always a pleasure"

Nicola Hitt | Two Four Productions |

We are very happy with the service and equipment from VMI"

Celia Barge | Baby Cow | Sensitive Skin Series I and II

Excellent service"

| The Business Production Co |

Just a note to thank you for all your support and advice and that of your VMI staff during our recent shoot. Although I've only just started editing, and haven't as yet seen the material fully graded, from all the rushes screenings I'm most encouraged with the results.

As you said at the outset, go with the Zeiss DigiPrimes and the right DP, plus an experienced Gaffer. I followed your advice and it's paid off. I look forward to showing you the finished result later in the year.

Again, thanks for your excellent service and support.

Best regards Tony"

Tony Maylam | MJ Films | Journal of a Contract Killer

Many thanks for all your help in the production of The Margate Exodus over the past few months. We look forward to working with you again in the future."

Katie Bevell | The Margate Exodus | The Margate Exodus

Thanks so much again for your much appreciated support and help on a very (small) production. The crew were great and the facilities just fine."

Ray Beck | Shadows on the Wall | Car Commercial

Thank you for your quick response to crewing up and kitting out our Car Shop shoot this week. It went very well and the crew you gave us were great - especially Anton who was very helpful in all manner of ways. We had a fair amount to do in a day and we managed it all, along with some extra shots thrown in too. The director and I were very happy with the results and so was the client."

Charlie Freemantle | Hub |

Just a brief email to thank you, once again, for the loan of your HD equipment for my talk on HD make-up at The International Make-Up Artist Trade Show (www.makeupshow.co.uk)

Whilst talking about HD is certainly exciting, screening HD really made all the difference to my presentation. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words...

I couldn't have done that without VMI.

A small celebration here at my own company - our new hd make-up website (www.filmmakeup.co.uk) has just hit the #1 ranking, world-wide, on Google for anyone searching "hd make-up". Unbelievably, we're first out of over 2.5 million results! Thanks again"

John Woodbridge | Woodbridge Productions | Leading HD Make-Up Artist

I really appreciate the huge input that VMI made to this series. I know how tight the timing was for you and it's fairly extraordinary we got the HD cameras, housed and on location."

Andy Byatt | BBC Natural History | Amazon Abyss

The production overall went very, very well"

Tim Pyke | BBC History | Genghis Khan

Everything went fine with this production, we would for sure consider using VMI for other HD projects."
