Simon Clode Films

Welsh National Opera approached Simon to creatively document a pilot project which involved both primary school children and those living with dementia in Swansea over a six month period. He immediately understood the brief entirely and responded sensitively, imaginatively and creatively to this brief with the result being a beautiful 9 minute film that is being used both to document the project and, as it lives beyond the pilot, for use more widely. It was shown during a final 'sharing' event enabling all the various participants in different parts of the project (and the invited audience) to have a much broader view of what the full 'Cradle' project entailed. Having the film, and hearing participants speak directly to the various audiences enjoying it, said so much more than any text could. Simon particularly understood the sensitivities of working with the participants and was proactive in setting up filming opportunities including conducting and editing all the necessary interviews. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, and in fact, we are already working with him again on another project.

We've worked with Simon on two projects and been equally impressed with his creativity, commitment and enthusiasm on both occasions. He offers a first class service and we would not hesitate in recommending him.

Flexible and fun to work with, Simon brings great passion and enthusiasm to his work. Boulders has used his creative expertise for 3 years, over which time he has consistently delivered to our expectations and beyond, and even under ridiculous deadlines was prepared to willing go the extra mile to ensure his part of the project delivered on time. I recommend his services and compose further references.

I was extremely impressed with the quality of service and sheer dedication that Simon Clode offered our project. His professionalism and knowledge was highly evident and his easy going positive nature was certainly appreciated when time constraints and pressures were looming. He went above and beyond what was expected of him, was a very patient tutor and highly creative producer. I would definitely recommend working with Simon Clode Films.

Simon Clode is a highly talented film maker with a great creative understanding and empathy to the work undertaken. I was extremely happy with the filming, editing and technical support he has offered me throughout my project. He is a motivated and hard working individual who I have no doubt will go far in the industry. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

We have used Widelode on a number of occasions and they have always delevered great results - will continue to use in the future.

We approached Simon to come in a create a short video to be used on our website regarding one of our best selling products. He had to film our Museum creator talking about the coin and then use a video which had already been shot by the designer and match the two videos together. He was excellent to work with and very profesional. He had lots of creative ideas and the overall finish was fantastic. We would definately use him again.

Simon Clode has been the key provider of video documentation, and often of creative AV, on National Theatre Wales's launch year of productions. We have really enjoyed working with Simon. He produces to a very high quality, works very well with a wide range of people, and is always flexible to our changing needs.
