Trusted by International Productions Like Yours.
It has been fantastic working with you this year, on multiple shoots! Thank you for your enthusiasm, flexibility and never-ending patience as the plans changed, sometimes by the hour. Not one of the shoots we sent your way were at all simple or straightforward but somehow we pulled them off, despite the challenges.
“Fantastic job getting all the episodes done. An arduous task given timelines, logistics and just a lot of hard work. The series looked great to air and you all should be very proud of the results.”
“Thank you so much, it was great! India went on the best because you guys prepared and challenged for us. Other countries was totally mess. Thank you very much!! You are the best.”
“Amazing… what a trip.. what an experience. Well done to Tony and Yasir and congrats to all the team.”
“Thanks so much for all your help with the shoot. We’ve had great feedback from the participants and as you say, everything went smoothly so we have a very happy client!”
“A huge effort by the team to get this done. Very proud of the outcome.”
“And for what it’s worth – your reputation precedes you. Everyone and I mean everyone who was involved with this shoot from Matt to Ellin to Dan RAVES about you and for good reason. Thank you. You are so on top of everything and makes it all much easier for us.”
“I’m really proud of the film we’ve made and I want to say a massive thank you to Tony and his amazing local crew who worked their asses off and made us feel hugely welcome.”
“I just wanted to say thank you from all of us for all your support and help. Grete has just told me how good everything went well and what a big support they received from you.”
“Everyone at every stage of the project worked their tails off to make it such an effective piece. Your hard work setting us up for success definitely paid off in the end. So, thanks again for all the effort you put into this.”
“Yep, Tony was great! Very tuned in to the needs of production. Definitely a problem solver.”
“Hope you’ve gotten some time to recover from our crazy shoot. Just wanted to say it was great working with you. It was so nice to work with someone who really got what we were doing and could move mountains at short notice! Everyone here was really, really pleased with the interview and we couldn’t have done it without you.”
“The final play out of the LVP Episode is my personal favourite. Brilliant access and interviews and a wonderful history for our viewers. Thank you again for the access to Luskhmi and your participation in this series.”
“Everyone seems very happy! THANK YOU AGAIN for all of the help. I MISS YOU GUYS! So much fun with all of you! Incredibly memorable.”
“Still so grateful for your work with us in Goa – and it was so fun!”
“From permissions to logistics, India is not a simple place to shoot and they make it a painless process. They also did a great job moving their schedule to fit in with plans that kept shifting for a thousand reasons – working round the clock to ensure all was delivered on time and up to a very demanding specification.”
“If your intention is to film in India, the only place you need to go is Goa Film Services. It’s a one-stop shop. You show up, they take it from there. Tony Cordeaux didn’t just help with the project when we arrived in India, he made it all happen, took care of everything. I left India with what was to become an award-winning film, and I owe a major part of that to Tony and Goa Film Services.”
“Tony Cordeaux is a creative and logistical genius and one of the nicest guys in the biz! There’s nothing Tony can’t do! Cannot recommend him highly enough!!!”
“I wanted to take the first opportunity I had to thank you for your patience, persistence and presence throughout set-up/filming. Things really couldn’t have gone any smoother considering the last minute nature of the shoot, and I think that’s largely to do with your hard work.”
“Tony was a real can do guy. He fixed everything from kit to hotels and cars, but also proved really useful as a second camera op on a couple of shoots. Great guy, nothing is too much trouble!!”
“Thank you for being so patient and for doing such a great job last minute and with very little information. Well done, you guys!”
“Thanks very much for all your help with this shoot, you’ve been great.”
“You are my go to guys in India forever!!”
