Andrew worked in full collaboration with the school and was totally flexible in making arrangements on the filming days. Andrew’s experience as a teacher is a clear advantage in knowing how a school operates and this knowledge is used effectively in structuring the film.

“We commissioned School Reel to make a film to capture West Twyford Primary School as it embarked on a period of enormous change: celebrating where we are now but looking forward with excitement to the future. It would be a historical document but also used for promotional purposes. This complex brief was eagerly accepted by Andrew (School Reel) and although there was only a week and a half before the end of term, he managed to create a stunning, moving and high quality film that totally fulfilled the brief. He understood that we were all enormously busy but he worked around us with professionalism and good humour to bring out the best in us all. I am so proud of our film and would unreservedly recommend School Reel to anyone who wants a professional film to celebrate and promote their school.”
– Rachel Martin, Head Teacher, West Twyford Primary School

“We approached School Reel in 2013 to commission a five-minute video for marketing and online use. Through his professional and friendly approach from the outset, Andrew (School Reel) was able to understand our requirements and put together a treatment that met our needs and equally as importantly, provided the flexibility to work around us. Andrew and his team spent three days filming our staff across several sites and everyone involved in the filming process was put at ease with his enthusiasm and courteous approach. The final film exceeded all expectations, from the way it was shot to the detailed editing. School Reel’s innovative and fresh approach is welcome and we would not hesitate to work with Andrew on future projects.”
