What do you love most about your job?

'Second Home, First Love' is our motto. First things first, my team is what I love most about the job. I'm privileged to work with such a focussed and talented bunch of people who give their all to each project. To say that every day is different is something of an understatement. One day we might be asked to design a CGI tour around the human genome, the next making talking bananas made from plasticine. Animation is about creating an illusion of life in the inanimate and the conceptual. My favourite part of the job is looking into a set and feeling like you're looking into another world.

What inspired you to start your own business?

It was a mixture of accidental circumstances, serendipity, a change in the weather and a dogged determination to make our own mark.

Why should our clients choose you?

For the very simple reason that every penny spent will end up on screen, guaranteed. The phone normally rings when clients want something a bit out of the ordinary. We're known for our innovative approach to every project, but don't take our word for it:
'Second Home Studios are the perfect mix of technical acumen and all out creative flair,' Tony Jopia. Creative Director, Sony Europe.

Neil really pulled one out of the bag for me with a couple videos I needed editing and not easy jobs either. He charged a very reasonable price for the work he carried out for me and got it done from the point of contact to having the video back in just over 24 hours. If you need any editing done this is your man.

Working with Paul to develop our new website has been an absolute pleasure. We are thrilled with the final product - it’s an excellent piece of work that captures the essence of our brand and need. Throughout the entire process, Paul has been professional, patient, and highly responsive. He has been able to navigate unusual challenges with understanding and went above and beyond to provide us with the best possible solutions. I truly appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a skilled website developer with excellent taste and a strong work ethic.

I contacted Neal, on Friday, 21 Feb 25 from out of the blue to helped me to carry out a complex documentary drama. The budget was below belt yet Neal's focus was to help a talented writer / director as soon as he related with the project. Neal worked for three days continually without complaining and with very little time given to complete the project. I was surprised when he delivered the film project around 4 am in the morning so that I will have time to get the project approve. Moving forward I will be working with Neal in future not because he is an editor with amazing editorial skills , animation, adobe, relatable, delivers on time, as a creative eye for detail, and works collaboratively with the director and he is not scared to edit and produce videos that are experimental and breaks old stereotyped genres. I would recommend if you need an editor who will work together with you and your team to produce a corporate video which he did for me or a film. Neal is your editor my audience loved the final edited version and made me proud. Neal, Thanks!
