FEEDBACK

“Working with Visual Culture has been a pleasure.  The team is very professional and organised in the filming schedule and very effective in the logistics of contacting (and gathering) the people we needed in the video shoot, which in our case, consisted of very busy people scattered across Melbourne.  The resulting video is of professional quality and worked very well in delivering the key messages that we needed in our brief.”  – Denny Oetomo, Senior Lecturer, The University of Melbourne.
