Carol Jenkins, Principal - CJ's DANCE AND FITNESS - May 2018


"We worked with Michael on our last 3 shows at the Hammond Theatre & have been delighted with the results. He works in a very professional, friendly & approachable manner, no request is too much trouble for him. From booking the dates, to the actual event, the editing & approval processes after the event, he is quick, efficient & produces wonderful results. On a busy show day when you are desperately running around Michael is very self-sufficient. The filming and editing create a beautiful keepsake for our students and parents who thoroughly enjoy watching the show time & time again. A favourite aspect is Michael's skilled 'backstage' footage - here he really captures the experience of the day from the dressing-room fun to the atmosphere in the wings. We can highly recommend LIKETHEVIDEOFILMS."

Ceri Wild AISTD, Principal - LITTLE DANCERS SCHOOL OF DANCE - May 2018

By emailing the link to everyone it made the administration side very quick and easy. It really is the way forward."

All the productions have been carried out to the highest standard. I would highly recommend Michael Dwyer and his team at LIKETHEVIDEOFILMS."
