Eden Park fashion shoot with Welsh rugby stars

They were so teasing Jamie Roberts on this Eden Park shoot! Meantime our cameraman was, rather guiltily, breathing in taking this shot! [Click image for the video]

No news doesn't mean there isn't any!

Been a very busy few months with jobs for many government bodies such as Cardiff Council, universities such as the Open University and repeat business from massive global companies like Ensinger. We've interviewed the deputy PM, Sam Warburton and Jamie Roberts (everyone was out for that one) and Shania Twain as well as duplicated thousands of DVD disks, shot days of P2 footage, hours of 5D cinematic footage and edited everything from high end plant science podcasts to Nissan/PS3 GT racers in Italy for high end broadcast clients like Boomerang (note the pit boys in fireproof beige!!!).

Wow..great interview. Kudos to the interviewer, so patient, a true professional. You can tell Whitney respected him. A good interviewer lets the guest speak and express a full thought without interruption. Kudos again. Wonderful interview.  

Whitney Houston Interview - You Tube comments 2

You never really get a sense of the kind, good-humored Whitney from her interviews- she was so guarded and even combative in many. But in this one you really get a glimpse of the Whitney her friends recall with such fondness. Great work.

Cardiff City Council

The team couldn’t speak highly enough of what you produced for them and said the video was, by quite some margin, far better than anything else presented at the event…

Communications Dept, Cardiff City Council

Cracking Productions were very flexible, working to a short lead time and outline brief, producing just the video output we required. We look forward to working with them again in future.

Development Director AMEC

Our enthusiasm and commitment to the awards were matched by Cracking Productions' and this year's awards were deemed the best ever due to the superb video footage. We have had such positive feedback and are delighted with the quality and professionalism of what you produced for us

Colleges Wales' Tweet at an event / Trydar cleiant hapus

In producing the Independent Travel Training Initiative video our director had an extremely friendly and patient nature which helped the children (that have special needs) feel at ease very quickly. I would definitely use and recommend Cracking Productions' services again - extremely flexible and highly professional. 

Transport Manager, Cardiff City Council

The final videos that were produced are brilliant! Dewi and his team were so professional, with customer care as an obvious value throughout. We will be using Cracking Productions again based on the performance and quality of the end product and recommend the business as a reliable, deadline savvy and professional company. Cracking Productions were truly cracking!

It looks really good! The structure is clear, and it covers the breadth of the course well. Although it is running to five minutes, it doesn’t outstay its welcome, as the pace keep your interest throughout. We’re happy.

Mathew Talfan, Head of Communications, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama

I've seen many corporate videos - most are nowhere near the quality of Cracking Productions work. Dewi has so much knowledge & the best equipment & will go out of his way to advise you the best way forward. He is very patient & wrote my script & knew exactly how to get the message across that I wanted.  Thanks for an amazing video for my company!
