I've worked with Viva La Zoom for a number of years now and the service that the team offer along with the video execution itself, has always been of the highest standard. The breadth of video services the company offer is widespread and I would highly recommend engaging the team for 3D animation and motion graphic production when looking to innovate and stand out with your edits.

I worked with the Viva La Zoom team on a recent video project commissioned by our client. Guille, David and Jo were fantastic to work with, and I was continually impressed with how quickly they were able to turnaround edits and creative evolutions. The final output was excellent, and the client was very happy too. I would absolutely recommend working with the VLZ team.

Viva La Voom were brilliant! They were so easy to work with and produced a fantastic set of videos without any fuss. They listened to the brief and understood exactly what we wanted to achieve and then delivered it, within the time and budget required. We look forward to working with them in future!

We had a fantastic experience working with Jo, Guille and the team at VLZ to produce our promotional video. For the shoots we were working in quite limited conditions - to 2 schools' timetables and venue restrictions - but VLZ were very well organised and everyone who took part : Headteachers, class teachers, our tutors, teenage students or 10 year old pupils felt really comfortable during the filming.
Jo and Guille had taken the time beforehand to understand what we were trying to portray in our support and the end result is just what we wanted - bright, colourful and on brand without being

I had the pleasure of working with Viva La Zoom to create a School video for an event which was subsequently edited to make a second video for the School website. From the outset Viva La Zoom were professional, friendly and dedicated to doing a sterling job. They worked incredibly hard and nothing was too much effort. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

In 2015 we entered the world of videography. Charged with the development of a vlog channel and after undertaking extensive rounds of evaluation, Viva La Zoom were head and shoulders above the rest for us to partner with in the development of our BioPharMoore vlog. Their attention to detail, attentiveness and hard-working attitude perfectly matched ours at Thermo Fisher Scientific. The first stage of our journey was to receive hands-on training from Guille and David, and its safe to say we all learned a lot that day! The training was pitched at just the right level and Viva La Zoom took
