Testimonials
“Frans has an inexhaustible knowledge of commercials, movies and general audio-visual referencing, along with loyalty and dedication.”
Saffron Fabig - Director of Broadcast; SMLB South Africa
“[Frans’] almost encyclopaedic knowledge of film references together with his undoubted skill as an editor has resulted in many ‘rip-o-matics’ which have always been way beyond our expectations. They have not only impressed us, they have greatly impressed the people who have subsequently become our clients. If you are employing him I would ask you one small favour. Please don’t have him work on a pitch against us.”
Michael J Petherick - National Creative Director; J Walter Thompson
“[Frans] is probably the finest exponent of the “rip-o-matic’ in the country. A number of agencies will testify to this.”
Mario Bozzone - Owner; Fresh Eye Film Productions
“To say Frans goes the extra mile in sourcing reference footage and cutting TV pilots is an understatement in the extreme and his knowledge about film and commercial footage is encyclopaedic to say the least. What has always impressed me most, however, is the added value that Frans puts into every job. In fact, I cannot think of a single occasion when Frans didn’t exceed my, or my colleagues’, or my clients’ expectations.”
Meirion Griffiths - Group Creative Director; The Agency
