testimonials
“Working with Argentum Productions was a delight. Our research team sought to create an educational video on a health-related topic in both English and French, and Gillian’s expertise and creativity were invaluable throughout the process. From our initial consultation to the final product, Gillian demonstrated exceptional professionalism and skill. She listened attentively to our needs and ideas, offering valuable insights and solutions to enhance the project. Despite numerous edits and revisions given the nature and purpose of the project, Gillian remained patient, responsive, and committed to delivering a high-quality video that exceeded our expectations. The final product was really great – I would highly recommend Argentum Productions to other researchers seeking top-notch video production services!“

“It was a pleasure working with Gillian. She took the time to understand the topic that we wanted to present in our video and really captured the tone and message that we wanted. We had some late-stage requests and she delivered them quickly and with ease. We definitely plan to work with her again in the future.” Shelley Lambert–Forêt Capitale Forest
“Over the past 18 months, Gillian filmed and edited twelve short-form documentaries for our environmental non-profit, Eco Echo, including a multi-image montage for an ecological art project. Her creativity and ability to produce excellent work on a modest budget were deeply appreciated.”
