Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The background to this project came about with the recent launch of our new range of JCB Work Lights in the UK market. To boost sales and promote these products, we decided to create a series of animated videos, with the objective of bringing the work lights to life and highlighting the many innovative features and benefits of the products.

The final videos would be used on our website, jcbworklights.com, across our social media channels, played on our stand at trade shows and would be available to our reseller network for display in their stores and on their own websites.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The key to the success of this project has been our partnership approach from day one. Instead of viewing our relationship as merely customer and supplier, both parties embraced it as a true collaboration. Throughout each step of the process—from initial storyboarding and creating a greyscale video to the final render—there has been proactive, two-way dialogue and discussion. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Working with the team at Prolific Studios has been a real pleasure. Despite the time difference and distance – literally an Ocean apart, they have been highly responsive, making communication seamless whether through WhatsApp, email, or Teams calls. 

What was your primary form of communication with Prolific Studio?

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

The final videos they delivered are truly amazing, highly engaging, and have exceeded our original expectations.

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

Time differences are always going to be a challenge, but this just requires good project management.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Prolific has created 3D graphics of our bottles, which come in different colors and shapes for our various products, such as antifreeze and brake fluid. They’ve also animated the pours that go along with the bottles in 3D, which show the liquid flowing out of the bottle realistically. The video places the products in real-life settings, such as a garage or over a car hood. 

The team also ensured that we could change the label on the 3D bottle models to update our creative assets without having to film the bottles again. Currently, Prolific is working on new projects for our wiper blades and headlamps. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We've posted the video on YouTube, the product detail pages on our site, and e-commerce platforms like AutoZone and Amazon. The video has exceeded our and our customers' expectations. Initially, people didn't believe it was a 3D graphic and not live action video. This outcome is good for us going forward because it removes the idea that technology can't be realistic. We're excited to work with Prolific to capture that again. 

Thanks to their work, we can update our creative assets without having to film out bottles again, which reduces costs and improves our time to market. Prolific Studio has been able to deliver quickly, even with many people giving feedback. The team has taken the feedback, incorporated it into the correct changes, and delivered the video for us to get in front of the customers. 

Moreover, everyone on the Prolific team is very positive, open to feedback, and easy to work with. They're open to collaboration, which facilitates things for us since we need input from many people. The team is patient in working with us on what's achievable with our timeline and budget. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They've put the project together very well from a time and cost perspective — we're right where we need to be. As for communication, we use phone calls, and the team has done a great job. If anything,  we could do a better job of getting our feedback to them in a more timely fashion. Overall, Prolific has done everything I could have expected from an agency of their size. 

What was your primary form of communication with Prolific Studio?

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

Since the project involves creative work, we haven't provided Prolific studio with that much direction. Despite this, they've delivered a completed project that exceeds our expectations. 

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

I don't think there's anything they need to improve. If we need any changes, they're from us as a client.

We provided Prolific Studio with detailed specifications for each watch, including high-resolution photographs and design notes from the manufacturer.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work for Prolific Studio involved animating my logo, which I initially provided in a single color. I requested that they animate the logo and produce versions in two additional colors. Additionally, I asked for variations of the logo both with and without the accompanying text. Prolific Studio delivered on all these requests, providing me with animated logos in three different colors and in both text-inclusive and text-exclusive formats.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I recently had the pleasure of working with Prolific Studio on the creation of a new logo for my business, and I can confidently say they exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I reached out to them, their communication was impeccable. They kept me in the loop throughout the entire process, ensuring I was comfortable and satisfied every step of the way.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team at Prolific Studio truly went above and beyond. Not only did they deliver the logo on time, but they also made sure to send me a preview during the design process. This allowed me to provide feedback and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring the final product was exactly what I envisioned. Their attention to detail and commitment to getting it right was incredibly reassuring.

One of the most impressive aspects of working with Prolific Studio was their ability to stay within my budget. In fact, they provided me with much more than I anticipated for the price. The value I received was outstanding, and it was clear they were dedicated to delivering high-quality work without cutting corners.

The final logo is nothing short of amazing. It perfectly captures the essence of my brand, and I couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for a company that combines excellent communication, timely delivery, and exceptional design skills, Prolific Studio is the one to choose. They have certainly earned my trust and future business!

The process with Prolific was amazing, any delays came from our end, trying to get a committee of folks to agree on the final vision. We provided the scripts and worked through an outline of visual concepts with the Prolific team. From there we moved into basic sketches of the visuals and approved an overall look/color schemes to be used. 

Finally, we got the final storyboards and once approved the final animation. The team was very patient as we made changes, and then walked some back through the process.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We haven't started the project yet, but after doing a brief focus group, we discovered that our finished movies are far more kid-friendly than the original source materials.

I really appreciate that everything was done over email. We started with a defined timeline, which our team and approval process veered off course. Within the initial timelines specified, the Prolific team fulfilled all of their commitments.

They provided a story board and AV script for a 3D billboard that we needed produce. The story board was fairly loose and left a lot open to interpretation, allowing Prolific Studio the freedom to integrate their vision and expertise into the project, which was greatly appreciated.

The 2:30 long video involved a series of simulations and optical illusions which required very specific projecting and lighting requirements, and had a very tight timeline to execute. The final deliverable was a video file that met our specific requirements to playback correctly on a large video wall.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Early prototypes and a continuous drip of sample videos ensured we had stakeholder buy-in and that all optical illusions came across correctly on the video playback equipment.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Prolific Studio was very responsive and their project management was one of the best experiences I have had. They were very communicative throughout the process, checked in on a regular basis, and their communication style was very transparent and honest. When issues or last minute changes did arise they jumped on them immediately and had resolutions within a day or two to get the project back on track.

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

They really set themselves apart with their communication. At no point was I left wondering if the project on track for delivery, or if they had misunderstood a request. They asked all of the right questions and had consistant and frequent report backs on their progress.

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

Color consistency was a bit challenging for this project as it required several different software packages to execute - earlier testing and troubleshooting of color consistency would have helped - but the studio wasn't given much of a timeline to have been as thorough on this project.

We wanted to create a corporate promotional video that explains our services and solutions in an easy to understand way.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We looked for video production studios with good reviews online, and after reviewing three proposals, we decided on Prolific Studio due to the quick response, project guidance, fair pricing, and professionalism experienced during an introductory call.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

We were guided through each stage of the process which includes an initial questionnaire, draft script, style frames, storyboard, voiceover selection, background music selection, and the initial animation/video. Upon final approval, we received the full, final video in the desired resolution and production quality.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with one point of contact. Customer service and responsiveness was top-notch. Through each step of the process, we were allowed to make revisions as needed and provide feedback to our point-of-contact. Feedback and revision requests were addressed very quickly and professionally. We couldn't be happier with the communication throughout the entire process from start to finish.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We showed the new video to all employees as well as some clients and received immediate positive feedback. Job well done, Prolific Studio!

The project manager was very easy to communicate with, provided frequent updates, and was very responsive. We mostly communicated via email, text, and voicecalls.

They took the time to learn about our services and company. They were also very responsive to working with us in a collaborative way. The turn-around times for all stages of the process, including revisions, were also very impressive.

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

This was our first promotional video project as a company. We were extremely happy with the overall process and final result, so we really don't have anything to suggest as an area of improvement.
