Testimonials

  • To whom it may concern,
    Video NZ have undertaken three projects for me over the period 2007-2014. In each case they proactively organised all the arrangements and I was impressed with their self - sufficiency using their mobile facilities on location and their own studio for editing and voice - over. The users of the videos find the additional animations, that VideoNZ organised, helps their understanding and the scenes filmed onboard moving work trains, capturing the sounds of operation portrays realistically what they can expect to encounter in the field.
    I have briefed Video NZ on my next three projects and look forward to working with them on the training videos.

  • One of the pleasures of working at the Cancer Society, was meeting you and benefitting personally from your most competent and business-like manner. This was coupled with your warm, friendly and patient manner when working with volunteers and cancer patients. I have appreciated your professionalism, your ability to quickly interpret my requests, to drill down to and capture the essentials, and then to progress the project and effectively manage and incorporate the amendments – the additions and the deletions. You are a great team with your shared interests and complementary skills. Thank you both, it has been a real pleasure.

  • Mike and Viv Rathbone add the 'personal touch' and go the extra distance. It makes a pleasant change to deal with a company that takes pride in providing a first class quality service. When faced with a problem their first thought is 'what is the solution'.
    I have dealt with their company (both professionally and privately), for more than 7 years; they are innovative and up for a challenge, totally reliable and I have no hesitation in recommending their work.

    this is just a thank you to you both for helping us transform our business through our website informational videos you shot and produced for us.

    The location shots were extremely well managed and your flexibility with timing due to our production runs of stock were much appreciated .

  • Over the past 20 years I have used Mike exclusively to film a variety of laboratory and in-field engineering investigations where high speed event capture is required.
    Throughout this time, he has consistently produced work to a high standard in a timely and professional manner.
    What makes Mike stand out is his very accommodating nature, attention to detail, dependability, responsiveness and familiarity with latest technology.
    His ability to provide the complete package of sound recording and editing in addition to top quality video takes the worry out of any technical filming project. Highly recommended.
