Report
I was recommended to Dreaming Fish by a mutual acquaintance as I needed a TV advert for my start up. Phil and the team took time to explain the whole process from concept to conclusion, and I was welcomed into the studio at every stage. We designed the story line, and shot the advert. It was not all plain sailing, as what I wanted was not allowed by the Advertising Standards Authority, but we compromised. Phil's expertise was invaluable.

I completed a week of work experience here last week. It was great. The people were really friendly and I learnt a lot about video editing and the industry. Definitely would recommend it for work experience.

Dreaming Fish are simply, brilliant!
An integral part of of the recent TEDxWoking, without their expertise and general "can do" attitude the event simply wouldn't have been half the success it was. True professionals in every sense and a real pleasure to work with. If you're looking for high quality video or animation, you've found it with Dreaming Fish.

We have worked with Dreaming Fish on over 15 films now and they have been completely professional and great fun to work with. The team is very knowledgeable and really helped guide us through the film process, plus supported us during ongoing project developments. We have more films planned and will definitely be using Dreaming Fish for our future film projects.

Dreaming Fish Productions have created both animations and videos for Vision Engineering. As we produce everything in 9 languages, there is always much to consider with the added complexities for sourcing local language voiceovers, translation of source text, plus all the administration which goes with it. In all instances we have been very impressed with Dreaming Fish, who have considered the requirements of the brief, produced high quality productions and managed each project very professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
