I’ve been fortunate enough to work with James and Picture Book Films on a variety of projects from large scale live events with a football tournament at a premier league stadium, to online award events, amongst others and now filming and editing my podcast. His professionalism, creativity and attention to detail is incredible. From a simple brief James just instinctively seems to know what the required outcome needs to be. Video is such a powerful tool in any form of marketing and you’ll find it difficult to find a better video production company or person to work with than James and Picture

During the lockdown I took up the opportunity to get in touch with James Johnson at Picture Book Films, after his extremely generous offer to help charities with producing some videos that they could use going forward. After we told James more about the Sussex Cricket Foundation, James was very happy to help and set-up a meeting to discuss our thoughts around the video we wanted to produce further. Myself, the Marketing Manager and Gary Wallis-Tayler, the Community Director at Sussex Cricket, worked very closely with James throughout and kept constant communication flowing, despite James probably

These guys produced a fantastic film for us of our Annual Masquerade Ball. They managed to really capture the essence of the event, highlighting all of the entertainment, the excitement and fun while encapsulating the spirit of giving that was going on. They turned it around in double quick time and exceptional quality. They did all of this without really getting much of a brief from me at all – they just got on with it and delivered. I can’t recommend James and the team highly enough. Thank you Picture Book Films!

James and Claire recently worked on the school promotional video and we could not be happier.
From start to finish they have been professional and responsive to the needs of the school. They put everybody that ended up on camera at ease and worked around our schedule seamlessly.
The end product blew me away and reduced my wife, parents, ex-pupils and staff members to tears.
I cannot thank them enough for the hard work they put into getting to know our school, understanding our vision and capturing it so perfectly on film.
I would highly recommend them to others

The experience and patience shown by James, Amy and Picture Book Films was excellent. The project was delivered on time and on budget to a high specification. It is not easy to have a vision and idea for a video and ask someone to produce exactly what you imagined. First class, Picture Book Films! Nick Greenwood, University of Brighton, Fire Safety Manager

We recently asked Picture Book Films to help us create a promotional video for our VW Campervan hire company and I have to say the outcome was beyond perfection. James and his team created a beautiful mini film which really shows off our company and services. We regularly receive great comments from our prospective clients about how wonderful our promo video is. That speaks volumes for us. I would definitely recommend Picture Book Films and will be using them again ourselves in the future.
