Testimonials
"It was absolutely the correct decision to have Pete involved in our Sales Conference “team promo” film.
Pete transformed what would have been a rushed, disjointed and “home vid” quality piece of work into an ‘award winning’ film which resulted in my team sweeping up all the prizes.
Pete was a pleasure to work with and thoroughly professional, he added value technically, with script, storyline and by directing and encouraging the “talent” to great effect.
I am delighted to recommend Pete and his team to potential clients."

"I have had a successful working collaboration with The Original Cut for many
years. The team has always delivered and it's been an enjoyable experience
despite different client needs, tight deadlines, budgets and resources - and
the need to communicate and move audiences in different markets around the
world. Original Cut always provides fresh thinking, creative zeal and good
judgement - best of all they rise to the challenge, deliver without hassle
and retain a sense of humour."

"The Original Cut was the creative
genius behind a video that brought the history of ZESPRI Kiwifruit and
the natural beauty of New Zealand to life for retailers across North
America. Although this was just one component of a roadshow
campaign, all of our customers agreed that it was their favorite part.
The beautiful images, emotional music and imaginative script all
created a very strong impact that will be remembered for a long time to
come.
Thank you for taking the time to understand our business and develop something that was so perfect for our needs."
