314 Media has helped us from the very early stages of the Studio project. They helped us defining our needs (space, material needed, ressources needed, etc) and building it step by step. they provided the right ressource for the right needs and has been really flexible when we needed them to be.

We have one permanent ressource as a Studio Manager and additional technical ressources (video editor, cameraman, sound engineer, etc.) that they provide when the content project we work on requires it.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

During covid, we had had a strong focus content on livestreams and they truly helped us in building the most ambitious livestream projects by being flexible, reactive, and provide the right ressources for the right needs, even last minute.

They solved live technical issues during one specific complex multicam livestream and were very involved, very concerned, during the whole process, from the very start of the project until the shooting end.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We speak and write on a day to day basis, alway very reactive.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their reactivity, ongoing flexibility, great mood and communication, and ability to give translate artistic vision into an efficient technical set-up.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

sometimes a bit more preparation time should be done, but its mainly due to the way we work, with a lot of last minute situations :)
