I've used Vermillion on several film-making projects, mainly with smaller budgets, but they have always given me 100% attention, both in terms of solid product quality but also creativity. A couple of our projects were quotidian celebratory pieces that were very competently executed, but one was something much closer to my heart (#NicklinUnseen) that still brings tears to my eyes even now. Vermillion helped us win a national award for our work. These guys rock.
