"I have to say that the whole team were really impressed with Clearcut and this has been passed to Mentorn. You'll be seeing me in future that's for sure."
Amy Mangion - Production Manager on 'Michael Jackson's Last Days: What Really Happened' for Mentorn
“Please could I thank you and all your colleagues for the outstanding post production support and excellent delivery for the recent C4 Michael Jackson documentary. I am really appreciative of all the hard work and flexibility from all your staff that made this quick turnaround project possible.”
Neil Grant - Executive Producer, Mentorn
"Post production at Clear Cut was an education in how all post production should be done. Ben Newth, our dubbing mixer, went above and beyond the call of duty in accommodating our changing schedule and did an incredible job with the sound. His attention to detail was second to none and his audio fixes were always perfect. He was uncomplaining, always amiable and lovely to work with. I would always choose to come back to Clear Cut in the future."
Daisy Scalchi - Producer on 'Hello Goodbye' for Lion TV
"Ben is a brilliant online editor, very calm in the face of mounting demands and on-coming deadlines, contributing excellent creative ideas and solutions to problems, and not only that but diplomatic too."
Kaye Godleman - Producer, Mentorn Media
"Thanks for the great support we have had from Clear Cut on Hudson."
Tom Brisley - Executive Producer, Darlow Smithson
"What a stunning film: thank you, everyone. A superb team effort, and a remarkable achievement." (Miracle of The Hudson River Plane Crash - Darlow Smithson for C4 & DCi)
Simon Dickson - Deputy Head of Documentaries, C4
"Congratulations to everyone of you who worked on the Hudson Miracle film. What a great watch! Powerful interviews, wonderful unpacking of the accident and rescue story – and all executed with a flair and quality that made it look like we had four months not four weeks to make the film. With respect and thanks."
John Smithson - Executive Chairman & Chief Creative Director, Darlow Smithson Productions
"I wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help in the weeks leading up to the recording. Both Simons told me how well supported they felt at Clear Cut. It was great knowing you were on our doorstep and everyone was really impressed with your facilities and staff."
Charlotte Hopkinson - Production Manager, Endemol
"I was extremely impressed by what Clear Cut had to offer. At every stage they made my film better and did so with minimum fuss and maximum creativity. Danny Finn’s sound work was outstanding. He and his team created an inventive and richly layered sound scheme that enhanced the film enormously. Danny’s skill and the fabulous studio combined to make the dub a richly rewarding experience – probably the best I’ve ever had. The On-line and graphics work was exemplary. Their creatives were open to new ideas and quick with suggestions.”
Colin Barr – Director on 'Maxwell'
"Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who worked on and helped with either 'At Home with the Hatton's' and/or 'The Fightback'. Both passed tech review with flying colours and the production team are very pleased with the results and with Clearcut's contribution, especially those that worked through the Sunday night, what Troopers!!!!"
Ann Hampsey - Production Manager, Mentorn
"Danny (Finn) is creative, helpful, a joy to work with and technically very adept - he created a beautiful sound scape and the mix was superb. I would not hesitate to use him again."
Stephen Marsh - Executive Producer, Pioneer Productions
"Thanks too for all the hard work on the show – very much appreciative. It was a good experience and as I say, the programme looks fabulous. And I should know because I have now watched it about 80 times!"
Ceri Smith - Production Manager, Change Productions
"Just a quick one to say thanks to you and all the other guys at Clear Cut for the last couple of months. It's been a fantastic place to edit and everyone has been really helpful. Hopefully I'll be back in the not too distant future!"
Tom Stubberfield - Editor
"This was by far the better way to do this. It took a fraction of the time to download and had the added advantage of being watchable and pauseable without crashing. The Five download was like watching a heavily pixelated acid flashback. If you want to get anything from TX 5 or TX 6 viewed then this saves the hassle of getting a DVD to us so thanks a million"
Alex Menzies - Channel Five when using www.clearcutview.co.uk
"I just wanted to send you an official email to say thank you for all your support and work during the edits for Dog Borstal Series 3. Thank you for providing such a consistent and reliable service. It has been a very good experience and I would be happy for you to pass on my comments to anyone else considering using ClearCut."
Sarah Baxter - Production Manager, Dog Borstal Series 3
"Last year my company produced a 1-Hour High Def Documentary in the Red Sea and decided to post-produce it at Clear Cut Pictures. Having placed a great deal of emphasis on producing a film of the highest quality I was particularly concerned to use a post-production house that would also be able to deliver the best online and dubbing for this format. The results must speak for themselves and the dedication of the team to help deliver our film to the highest technical standards and within an agreed as well as competitive budget was excellent. This isn't the first time we've worked at Clear Cut and it certainly won't be the last."
Nicholas Claxton - CEO & Founder, The Underwater Channel
"Working with Enge has three big things going for it: He is amazingly quick. He is strong editorially. He is an extremely nice guy. I can't recommend him enough."
Tom Brisley - Executive Producer, Darlow Smithson
"Having just watched the new 'Ideas Factory' promo again I wanted to say a big thank for all the hard work and creativity over the last few weeks. Without you we would never have been able to craft the tools in order to garner support from the good and great. I am very proud to be working with such an array of TV talent, and looking forward to the journey with you all in 2009."
Marcus Vinton - CEO, Publicis Entertainment
"Simon did a very good job in creating the right colourful atmosphere for our film. He has great ideas and gave some very nice inputs on some shots that improved the film a lot."
Tom Six - Director "The Human Centipede"
"Clear Cut and everyone there has been magnificent, particularly Genna who has been amazing, ceaselessly helping to make everything run as smoothly as possible."
Louise Hooper, Producer/Director
"Greg is my Dubbing Mixer of choice - bar none. Creative, quick, accurate and totally committed to delivering what I want. He's lifted all my films to another level."
Martin Small - Producer/Director/Writer
"I had the pleasure of working with Jamie on a recent project for Flora. The project consisted of us voicing our English language version into various European languages depending on the territory. As i didnt speak any other language apart from English this may have seemed problematic. Jamie was brilliant to work with on this project and knew it better than i did! This meant the whole process was easy and fun to work on, and it meant we now know a lot more German than we did to begin with. The deadlines for the project were very tight and Jamie's efficiency enabled us to finish on time .We were very lucky that he was availiable to work with us and i really look forward to working with him again."
Victoria Duffin - Production Manager, RDF Digital
"Just to say once again, just how much your consideration on the post costs means to both Ben and I. You are an incredible outfit and I am shouting it out loud to all and any PM's, Producers, Film makers I know, even those who just stopped to hear what all the rukus was about. . . and I will continue to do so. This film has been very difficult to make and had taken its toll to be fair but you have completely revitalized my faith in human kind and my long lost love of facility houses. . . genuine thanks."
Fiona O’Doherty – Ben Lewis TV
"Thanks for making the Gok edits as painless as they could be. And thanks for the wonderful hospitality from everyone at Clear Cut, it is far and away the best facilities i have worked in."
Danny Cook – Freelance Editor
"It is rather odd to be walking out of Clearcut today after 9 months - not sure I'll know what to do with myself next week. I'm happy to say that things have gone very smoothly in the past three weeks, and I think that Richard has done a brilliant job in hustling things along to meet our tight schedules. I'd also like to applaud Olatz's contribution. I think her imaginative work has really helped to make the films come alive. And I hope that we can find a way to work together again in the future."
Adrian Pennink - Director, Chimerica
"Working with Enge Gray was simply a pleasure. The project he was onlining was complex in that it combined HD footage with graphics, archive from multiple sources and multiple formats - plus several clients requiring different versions with different lengths. Throughout this process Enge kept a calm steady head and ensured that the films looked stunning, all glitches in the images were ironed out and the different formats matched creating a excellent whole. Enge combines a strong technical expertise getting the best out of the machines with creativity so complex issues can be resolved quickly and efficiently without any compromise to the film's look and feel. He is someone I would always choose to work - oh and did I mention he knocked up the series titles as well. In short a star."
