Overall Experience: Origin Films are very easy going and open to all ideas. Working with Origin have been a very smooth process, and they are always open to feedback. Whenever I have to give edit notes or feedback, they are quick to make the changes I've asked for or help troubleshoot wherever needed. They are very respectful of company deadlines and have always been able to meet them. Origin Films are very communicative and easy to reach. They often take initiative in setting up meetings and times to connect and follow up. They've also go out of their way to provide resources to help the projects that we're working on. They show great passion and initiative, with a willingness to learn and accommodate. They also really impressed me with how at ease and confident they make me feel before every production day. I can always trust in them to deliver high quality work.

Overall Experience: I hired Origin films in beginning of September, they were exactly what I was looking for as a film and production company. They helped me put together my fitness commercial, a motivational video for fitness and we did a photoshoot. I got results after posting the first video and had customer traffic come my way. They did such an amazing job with producing it, organizing everything and their hearts were in it to help you succeed. Pouya and Danny are very driven and passionate about what they do and care so much for your success, they care so much on improving and getting better. They are seriously people before profits and they even bought special equipment just for my production alone. They both are very professional and have such a high skill producing high quality films and videos to help drive you to success. The best part about these two are that they educate you in so many areas of business and website and customers to help you succeed as well improve on. Thank you So Much Origin Films Thank you Pouya and Danny Bon.

Overall Experience: We hired Danny and Pouya to capture the highlights of our company's activities during Pride Toronto, and couldn't be any happier with the service! They were extremely professional and flexible. And although we didn't have a lot of video production experience, they were helpful with the process. Very easy to work with! Will definitely come back for future opportunities, and would definitely recommend!

Overall Experience: We get assistance from Origin Films Inc. for our photographic and video production needs. Our initial collaboration with them was working entirely remotely. Although Meghan (Producer) connected us with a team in Los Angeles for a project we had, our firm is situated in New York. We created some video material featuring two celebrity brand ambassadors for our client with their assistance. We first brought a mood board and a concept for the video to Origin Films Inc., where we also had a conversation with their videographers about what should and shouldn't be in the film. We also discussed how our mood board would be reflected in the video and how it would be shot.

Overall Experience: Origin provided video and photography services for an event that I was speaking at. They were professional and service oriented. What impressed me most was the video editing that they completed of the event. They were able to edit a one hour talk down into several, one minute highlights that were a great tool for marketing. they had an intuitive senses of what was most important and included that in the videos.

Overall Experience: I was most impressed with the excellent work ethic that Origin Films brought to the table. Before we even started shooting, they had a well thought out storyboard and plan for the music video. During the shooting process they were very accurate with every aspect of the video (angles, lighting, clothing). Finally, their editing skills and attention to detail played a huge part in creating a perfect and enjoyable music video that I am proud to say I was apart of. I would recommend Origin Films to anyone looking for a high quality to build their career.
