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

The Weather Film team brought a rare ability to translate complex geopolitical themes into powerful visual storytelling. They worked closely with our internal advisors to build a script that accurately reflected the security implications of climate change. Over eight weeks, they handled writing, filming, narration, and editing — producing a 2.5-minute film that combined original footage, global climate visuals, and animated overlays.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The film premiered during a closed-door session with diplomats and security experts at our regional MSC conference. It set the tone perfectly — sharp, thought-provoking, and visually outstanding. It has since been adapted for presentations with international policy organizations, and has helped open new lines of engagement on the climate-security nexus.

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

The Weather Film demonstrated excellent project management from start to finish. Despite the complexity of the subject matter and the high-profile audience we were targeting, they stayed on schedule without compromising on quality. Milestones were clearly defined, and we were given regular updates at every stage — from script development to final delivery.

Communication was responsive and thoughtful. They were quick to implement feedback and often anticipated our needs before we even voiced them. Given the sensitivity of the topic and the diplomatic context of our event, their ability to adapt with professionalism and discretion was particularly valuable. They delivered everything on time, and in some cases ahead of schedule.

What was your primary form of communication with The Weather Film?

In-Person Meeting

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

What stood out most about The Weather Film was their ability to combine visual storytelling with policy-level nuance. They didn’t just produce a beautiful film — they understood the geopolitical weight behind the message and treated it with the seriousness it deserved. Their sensitivity to tone, especially when addressing a topic like climate-security, was exceptional.

They brought both artistic discipline and editorial integrity to the project — a rare combination, especially in the climate communication space. Their work felt informed, intentional, and genuinely moving

Are there any areas for improvement or something The Weather Film could have done differently?

If there’s one area they could strengthen, it would be providing an early visual prototype or scene board during pre-production. While their final vision was outstanding, seeing some visual direction sooner might have helped align expectations even earlier in the process. That said, they were very responsive to feedback and adjusted quickly once we got into post-production.

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

The Weather Film was responsible for end-to-end production:

Discovery and scripting (with deep research into our work)

Storyboarding

Voiceover casting and direction

Motion design and animation

Music, sound design, and final mastering

Delivery of multiple video formats for use across the website and presentations

They worked closely with us to condense technical content into a narrative that was digestible but still maintained the integrity of our research work. The tone had to be clinical but human, informative without being sterile — they walked that line very effectively.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

User understanding improved measurably — qualitative feedback from clinicians and researchers has been overwhelmingly positive.

Average time on page for the homepage has increased since launch, likely because visitors now engage with the video before browsing.

Stakeholder alignment also improved: internally, the video has helped new collaborators and partners “get” what Namadgi is much faster than before.

The video is now also used in presentations and conferences — it gives us a clear, consistent voice when introducing our work.

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

Their communication was consistent, efficient, and respectful of our time. We had weekly check-ins via Zoom during pre-production, and they used a collaborative workspace (Notion) to keep all milestones, feedback, and assets in one place. Feedback loops were well-managed — we never felt like we had to chase them or clarify expectations. They were proactive with drafts, transparent about timelines, and receptive to even nuanced feedback.

Deadlines were hit precisely. There was zero last-minute chaos. Each delivery felt considered and complete.

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

They had a rare combination of creative instinct and analytical precision. We’ve worked with other production houses before — most lean heavily into visual flair or generic animation trends. The Weather Film approached the story first, and every visual or sound decision stemmed from that.

Are there any areas for improvement or something The Weather Film could have done differently?

Honestly, not much. If we had to be specific, the initial timeline estimates were on the conservative side — but they actually delivered faster than expected. So that’s more of a positive surprise than a real critique.
