David Boemia - NAB Retail SA & NT 20 Jan, 2016
Watch the Corporate Video
“We selected Big Egg Media because their cost was
very competitive and when we spoke to them over the phone they were very helpful, organised, easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble, which made
them an easy choice to select.
“We were very happy with Big Egg Media's
professionalism and their whole team's attitude
towards helping us make the day fun, enjoyable and purposeful. Their willingness to assist us prior and during the event was first class. The final video was exactly what we wanted and helped make the day
memorable for all who attended.
“On the day Edwin and his team were relaxed and
happy which made them easy and great to deal with. We will definitely look to use Big Egg Media again in the near future.”
Tim Patrick - Bible College SA 9 Feb, 2016

“Big Egg Media produced Bible College SA's
fundraising video and we couldn't be happier with
both the process and the result. Edwin and his team did a great job of guiding us through the planning and scripting stages of the project before arriving to conduct a highly professional shoot that captured
everything we needed without disrupting our busy
operations.
“It was great interacting with Edwin during the editing process as he took good time to hear and understand our feedback, and he was also very precise in making the changes we wanted. The final product was
delivered on time and is now a key resource in our fundraising kit.”
Rachel Crawford - Suburban Taxis 4 Mar, 2015
Watch the Training Video
“The professionalism and creativity behind Edwin and his team at Big Egg Media is outstanding. When
presented with a brief, they exceeded our
expectations to create short videos that captivated the audience and added a huge amount of value to our
training courses to which they are shown in. We would highly recommend Big Egg Media and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
Anne Summers - Anne Summers Reports
15 February, 2014
“We had a very positive experience working with
Big Egg Media on the production of the DVD of
my ‘Conversations with Julia Gillard’. We selected Big Egg Media “cold” from your website and we
were very happy with the results.
“You produced exactly what we wanted, to a very
high standard and to a very tight deadline. We
were very impressed by the way you were able to
edit out from the original music we did not have
the rights to use on the DVD with no appreciable
impact on the quality of the final product.
We have had nothing but praise for the DVD from
people who have bought it.
“We will certainly use Big Egg Media for our next
DVD production.”
Col Hilliard - RMD Australia 16 May, 2014
Watch the Promo Video
“RMD Australia engaged Big Egg Media to
produce a video of our construction equipment
that would be erected to over twelve metres high.
The design brief changed numerous times and
Edwin was flexible enough to continue working
with us as the scope evolved. We were involved in
numerous draft versions and editing sessions, with Edwin also supplying backing soundtracks and
voiceovers.
“I thank Edwin and his team for their excellent
approach and output and have no hesitation in
recommending Big Egg Media to any organisation
seeking a flexible and easy to work with team for
professional filming and video editing.”
