John @ Black Fire Films was an absolute pleasure to work with. A real professional and a genuinely nice guy.
He was incredibly responsive to our (many) requests and worked to ensure we got the shots we needed and wasn't afraid to do several re-takes.
Whilst we had a script and a storyboard written, John made some very valuable suggestions with regards the feel of the video and we are super happy with how the finished videos look. He understood what we wanted and delivered it!
John comes highly recommended by everyone at Full Power and we look forward to working with him on our next video project

As an aspiring videographer, I approached John to see if he would consider mentoring me. And he did brilliantly.
Blackfire Films are known for their excellent video productions and no wonder why.
John is incredibly knowledgeable on every aspect of cinematography. With years of professional experience, he clearly masters the process, tools, and techniques that make great videos.
I shaved off months of learning thanks to his expertise. Not only did he coached me on the technical side, he also helped with excellent advice on the creative aspects of filmmaking.
A passionate, professional, and delightful

We partnered with BlackFireFlms team to create PetShop.co.uk videos and photos to showcase our business and help get our personal message across to our customers.
With the help and direction from John (Black Fire Films) we were amazed and delighted at the end result that Black Fire Films created. Not only did they exceed our expectations on the quality and creative side but they really helped produce and guide us on the audio video script to ensure we really got our personal tone across.
I felt that Black Fire Films really cared about the success of our video and they were also emotionally committed

I’m so impressed with John’s work. He rocked up to our event which had low light and wasn’t planned or structured yet he somehow managed to get some awesome footage and edit it within two days. The product is an awesome film that completely encompasses what happened at the event, and we didn’t even notice he was there! I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you.

Thank you so much to John at Black Fire Films for capturing the memories made at the St Basils big sleep out to raise money for young homeless people. John captured memories that will last a lifetime and all as part of his pro bono commitment to giving back. Late at night in a cold dark Birmingham! John has a lovely way about him, putting us all at ease and capturing the little moments that when added together painted a magical picture. Thank you

John and the team at Blackfire have been heavily involved in the filming of my networking events and workshops in Oxfordshire.
Their videos are exceptional and always delivered quickly. The team are professional whilst at my events, making sure they get what they need, whilst remaining unobtrusive, so I can do what I need to do.
I expect to see far more of John and the team in 2017 at my forthcoming events.

Blackfire Films are absolutely fantastic!
It was an extremely cold day in February, but the Blackfire team were dressed for the weather and remained professional throughout the day.
The filming took place in a busy coach yard, therefore we all wanted to cause as little disruption as possible. The Blackfire team kept this in mind at all times especially when having to film some of the action shots.
The brief was to create a case study of a successful install project, which would feature a crime watch type element to it. An extra was provided to help with this.

John and Tor gave a load of their time to come and video an event at which I was speaking. The resulting video content is brilliant, they were a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them. I need to produce some more video content soon and I will definitely use Sanctuary 9, as I know I will get fantastic quality video and a flawless customer experience!

Just... WOW! John Davies filmed a showreel for our networking meeting to show off the rather energetic event and it went over and above what I expected!
From the idea, to the quality, to the incredibly professional way that it was produced; we felt like we were launching the John Lewis advert...!
Sanctuary 9 Media is seriously good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for your company video.

Sanctuary 9 Media have done us such a genuine and generous deed by taking their own time to film and edit the video for Sled dogs As Therapy. John and Tor did such a fantastic job! They are talented and lovely people. If you give big kisses you get bigger hugs.... your kindness has gone such a long way and I hope and trust that good things will come your way. For anyone looking for video / audio / media work doing, I would highly recommend Sanctuary 9 Media! You won't be disappointed
