Standby are an amazing company to work with. Super professional from beginning to end and we came out with an amazing video. They put so much work into the preparation for the shoot and they know how to adapt themselves on the shoot in venues they have never seen before!

Standby pitched to create some makeup tutorial videos for us along with a handful of other agencies. From the initial quote it was clear that the team at Standby are thorough and really care about what they're doing. The shoot was a completely different experience from previous agencies that we've used, in an entirely positive way. The fact that they absolutely love what they do really shows and the entire team are simply great to work with. They were accommodating and patient throughout the editing phase and the whole process left me with renewed enthusiasm for my own brand! I'm looking forward

We've worked with StandBy for a number of years now on a range of different videos for different clients. Their passion for what they do really shines through in everything they create. They are on it from start to finish and are great to work with throughout the whole process. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for great team to produce all things video. Also worth a mention is their hospitality if you pop into their studio A++ If you use them you won't be disappointed.

Great experience making our video with Standby Productions. The guys really knew their stuff and fantastically bought together a short video that encapsulated what we're all about. A great mixture of meeting the brief and bringing their expertise to the table. Thanks guys

I approached Standby to make a film for a client of mine and selected them because their quote was in depth and full of ideas. They met with us for an initial meeting and were very professional and very organised. On the day of the shoot they were on the ball, on time and easy to work with. They were quick with the edits coming through and very accommodating when it came to editing requests. I can't recommend these guys enough and would definitely use them again.
