OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Lambda Films?

We needed AI video production services for one of our marketing campaigns involving TV screens and POS in a merchant customer branch. We required a partner with expertise in AI video production to deliver changes on a tight timeline.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Lambda Films edited and amended a video we already had. We needed to update the video by replacing the actress with an AI avatar and making other edits, such as changing the music and subtitles. Lambda Films retained the CGI product components and handled all video editing and audio mixing using their in-house software and team. 

What is the team composition?

I worked mainly with two people from Lambda Films: Ryan, their creative director, who managed the initial project scoping and discovery, and Darren, their editor, who handled the editing process and revisions.

How did you come to work with Lambda Films?

We found Lambda Films through a Google search for companies experienced in AI video production. After contacting a few businesses, Lambda Films responded the fastest and could take charge of the project quickly, which was essential for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent £5,000 on this one-off project.

How did Lambda Films perform from a project management standpoint?

Lambda Films demonstrated strong project management, meeting deadlines and staying on budget. They were excellent communicators throughout, and we primarily used Zoom, email, and phone calls to coordinate. There was no need for project management tools due to the project's size and scope.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Lambda Films' communication was particularly impressive; very clear and honest. The team proactively tried new things with AI video production and maintained a strong two-way dialogue throughout the project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

For larger projects, using a project management system like Jira could be beneficial, but for this project, it wasn't necessary. Overall, I don't see many areas for improvement based on this experience.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend setting up a call with Lambda Films early on to discuss the project and determine if they fit. A direct conversation helps scope out the project correctly and ensures they can meet your needs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Lambda Films?

We needed to create an explainer video on the topic of sustainability.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Lambda Films created an animated video for us. In fact, the project was quite straightforward. It included a voiceover, stock footage, and supers on screen. They proposed voiceover artists and a selection of stock footage clips. The team also tied everything together regarding the narrative, the flow of the video, and subtle animations. Moreover, Lambda Films added sound design and logos. We handled the project's scriptwriting ourselves.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 3–4 teammates from Lambda Films, including Ryan, the creative director and founder; Alex, the co-founder; and Darren, who is an editor.

How did you come to work with Lambda Films?

I discovered Lambda Films on Clutch and other similar websites. The team provided a very thorough, incredibly elaborate pitch for a previous project. They actually went above and beyond and even shared an animatic. We were impressed by the pitch, but someone else was better suited for the project.

However, the pitch left a strong, lasting impression on us. As a result, we were committed and enthusiastic about working with them on another opportunity. Finally, we contacted them this year after finding a suitable project to award them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with them during November 2024. The project timeline was two weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Lambda Films delivered great quality output. The team quickly understood our brand guidelines and adhered to those requirements. The resulting video was published across digital channels, including most social media platforms, the web, and in person at an event.

Lambda Films communicated well and was transparent with the budget management throughout the process. Regarding tools, we used phone calls and Microsoft Teams.

This video was to form part of a 'virtual tour' package but also to exist as a standalone piece of video content on YouTube and other platforms. We asked Lambda to work within our brand guidelines and to comply with accessibility and legal requirements. 

The tone of the video was to be more 'explainer' than 'promotional', and our target audience was prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students, both from the UK and overseas.
