TESTIMONIALS

We recently worked with Dave to support us as a colourist on a video production project. He perfectly understood the brief and what we were looking to achieve, and was very collaborative in making sure that we got to a place that both us and our client was happy with. Will definitely be working with Dave again.

Kieran Edwards - Dead Pixel

It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with David from the initial conversation right through to delivery. He is always contactable and really cares about not only the high-end final look of the grade but also the clients enjoyment of the process. David is an outstanding colourist and a great communicator. We all loved the grade as it really did give justice to the beautiful rushes. All in all David is a great guy and an expert in his trade and I look forward to working with him again soon.

Geoff Brooks - Groundbreak Productions

David created a video for us to raise the awareness of what marine invasive non-native species can be found in Wales and the impacts they can have. With a tight timescale to work within, David produced a professional, high-quality video on time and within budget. As the project progressed, several edits had to be made to the video and David did these quickly without hesitation. We are looking forward to launching the finished videos soon.

Holly Peek - Natural Resources Wales

We brought in David to colour a large/complex video project with a lot of moving parts and deliverables. David pitched a flexible and clever solution for managing the workflow as we worked side by side on delivering the project. Aside from the technical approach, we were very impressed with David’s skills and competency in delivering the colour grade 100% on spec and in line with the clients expectations. Exceptionally communicative, collaborative, and creative. We’ve had a great time working with David and look forward to doing so on our next project.

Deryn Carr - Grit Pictures

David is an extremely professional colourist, who finds no trouble in going in the extra mile for the work we’ve sent him. The work and final product shows for itself – beautifully graded, high quality, and the result of intricate detail. No job is too big and the quick turnaround, when needed, has been massively appreciated.

Jimmy Allen - Quarantine Productions

It was an absolute pleasure to work with David, I would highly recommend him as a DoP and would definitely work with him again. He was fantastic with the clients and was key to the smooth running of the shoot. He offered great creative input and a great eye for detail when it comes to filming to get the best shots possible.

Michael Sutton Director - Media Zoo

David and his team were fantastic from the first conversation. His skills, knowledge and passion for filming underwater helped us achieve the very best results for Casio. Very strongly recommend for any and all underwater filming!

Mike Scott Director- Holster Films

We worked with David at Scarlet View Media to capture dynamic underwater footage for one of our health & fitness clients. From pre-shoot support and advice through to execution, we were really impressed with the professionalism and quality of the service we received (and of course the footage was superb!). Highly recommended!

Stephen Hughes Director - Upstart Productions

I’ve used David and Scarlet View Media on two of my features – Palindrome & Blonde. Purple – his work and work ethic is immaculate. He consistently makes sure the client is happy and that he also produces the best work he can whilst keeping communication fluid and present. Will be using him again

Marcus Flemmings Director - Blonde.Purple

David has been fantastic from start to finish with the colour grade on our production. Technically on point and very aware instinctively of what we needed. Creatively it was a joy to collaborate with him and everything David brought to the table was sublime and really helped to enhance the finished series. Cannot recommend David highly enough

Will Nash Director - Obscenities

David at Scarlet View Media is the go to man for time critical colour grades. After the first job we knew we would work with him again to deliver our high spec projects to important clients. His communication is great and always has some suggestions to help take the concept to the next level. Highly recommended.

Shan Qaisar Owner - IQ Studios

The Hidden Seas project at Natural England developed a great relationship with David at Scarlet View Media. David’s genuine interest and dedication to our seagrass film was clear and present throughout the work from planning, execution right through to post-production. We really appreciated David’s creativity in bringing life to our film and we hope to work with David in phase 2 of our filming later on in 2020 or 2021.

Dylan & Lou Project Coordinators - Natural England

We booked David to work as our cinematographer and editor on our promo video for our function band. and couldn’t have been happier with the final product. From start to finish David was professional, easy to work with and genuinely passionate about our project. He went the extra mile to cater for our needs and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Sam Gannon Bookings Manager - Das Happy

David’s work is first rate – working with my film PALINDROME, he had to provide 3 distinctive colour schemes which had to elevate the story. He did so and then some. Great communication, efficiency and technical knowledge.

Marcus Flemmings Director/Producer - Palindrome

I had the pleasure of working with David on a TVC. His instinctual creative choices especially when editing remotely, coupled with his easy going attitude made him a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled Editor and Colourist.

Stephen Ribeiro Company Director

David at Scarlet View Media was an absolute pleasure to work with; he was super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly from day one, all the way through to completion of the project. His input and professionalism were integral in delivering a piece of work we can all be proud of. We’d love to work with David/SVM again, and would highly recommend them to others looking for colour grading services.

Marc Grundy - Coolbox

We recently had the opportunity to work with David on a small shoot in York and it was a pleasure to work with him. It was fairly short notice, with some last-minute changes by the client but he was easy going, professional and knowledgeable throughout, in both client-facing and technical situations, whilst producing the highest quality of work. Looking forward to our next opportunity to work together.

Lee Morgan - Obscure Films

I noticed from the word go that David was a very good listener, a good communicator and above all very professional. I have never done a song video before but he made me feel like I have been in the industry for many years. His level of communication did bring me to a point where I could not change my mind on hiring him. I have really liked the way he works and the patience he has for someone like me who has never done a live video before. David also advised my husband and I how to respond in public when we were going to shoot in public. If this advice was not given, I am sure the results would not have been as good as they were. I easily get distracted but he made sure that I stayed focused. I will definitely hire him again and recommend him.

Eunice Kwallah - Music Video

I worked with David at Scarlet View Media on a 5-minute commercial. He is extremely accommodating with what is possible and made sure that the deadline was hit. His communication was professional, instant and informative when it came down to what was needed from his side of the project. When having tight deadlines for a project I find this to be a valuable quality from a contracted freelancer. Should I need a digital colourist for any future project, David/Scarlet View Media will be my first call.

Martin Bilsborough - Film Distillery

I hired David to film some interviews on location in Wales for a conservation project we are working on about Whale Sharks. I found him to be great to work with, very knowledgeable and professional and also really good at putting the interviewees at ease. He has a great manner behind the camera, getting great answers from the way he phrased his questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a professional friendly crew member.

Pinky Robinson - Pinky Productions

I have recently had the pleasure of working with David when he graded a short film for my production company. Throughout the process I was impressed with Davids communication skills and professionalism. The Quality of work he produced was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending him

Mark Quinn Executive Producer - Cotton Wool

David is an incredible colourist and collaborator. He brought so much to the project, he captured my vision exactly on screen and considered everything from the QC to my personal aims with every shot. David went above and beyond at every turn for both the production company and myself. He is always personable, professional and easily contactable. As a colourist, he always aims for that cinematic film look, he’s guaranteed to give anyones’ film a completely unique and fitting look. I can’t recommend David highly enough and look forward to working with him again.

Nick Connor Director - Cotton Wool

Working with David Diley for Scarlet View Media was an absolute pleasure. He was the colorist for our TV movie Maternal Secrets. As a producer, it gave me great comfort to have fluid communication with him. He always updated me with the process and gave accurate ETAs for turnaround times. David took on the challenge of dealing with two creative visions from both production and the director to bring together a product we are really happy with. There were challenges with this film (just like every production) and in this, one of the difficult looks for the film was the flashback scenes. We did go round and round with different ideas and ended up right at the beginning. David worked with us to make sure we were satisfied and was completely understanding when working through the changes. Finally, when it came to deliverables David saw this project right through to handover with the distributor. He took on an extra voice with even more feedback in his stride and worked with me to see this movie right through to completion (which helped significantly with my stress levels). Thank you David!

Brooke Williams Producer - Triventure Films

I was fortunate enough to collaborate with David when he coloured my short film. The whole experience was an absolute joy thanks to David’s exceptional knowledge, diligence, enthusiasm and communication. He ensured that every aspect of his work was in-line with the look that we were after but was also able, with his expert-eye, to substantially improve on this vision in ways we could never have imagined beforehand. David worked incredibly quickly without sacrificing any quality whatsoever and kept us involved creatively throughout. The result is a grade that we are delighted with and a much better film! I will certainly be using David at Scarlet View Media’s services again and again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. In David you will find the perfect creative partner and any production would be lucky to have him.

Will Jeffs - Funnel Web Films

David has undertaken a number of filming projects for us at Aqua Sphere UK and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. His thorough approach means that he truly understands our vision each time and the final results show this. He is always a professional but makes sure that we have fun on set and that everyone is at ease during filming. We wouldn’t look anywhere else for our filming requirements and we look forward to continuing working with David on future projects.

Stacey Langlois Marketing Executive - Aquasphere UK

David Diley, of Scarlet View Media, filmed and graded the music video for my song “Tea”, directed and edited by HARUKO, as part of my debut album “Heart Of Stone.” I was nothing short of impressed by the outcome. With one camera, and less than half a day in Yearsley Forest in North Yorkshire, David easily and beautifully captured the essence of my song. His ideas, and shots during the filming were uniquely captivating, practical and technically sound. The cold and intermittent bouts of rain only served to make the filming more adventurous. I look forward to working with him again.”

Eleni Skarpari Echo Wants Her Voice Back - "Tea" (Music Video)

Title Role hired David Diley for a programme ‘Crimes That Shook Britain – The Marchioness’ detailing the events of the historic disaster which was commissioned by the Crime & Investigation Network which broadcasts on Sky / Virgin / BT & TalkTalk Title Role were provided with a clear understanding of what was possible and how long it would take to film taking into account the safety procedures. Scarlet View Media take their safety very seriously when working underwater and Title Role felt at ease with their expertise and good practice. The final filmed footage was fantastic, it was clear well focused and gave the right amount of mood we were after and the majority of what was filmed made the final cut in edit.

Ian Bradshaw - Title Role Productions

Working with David has been a pleasure. He approached us with great ideas and has worked flexibly and creatively throughout the process. His attention to detail is second to none and his willingness to go the extra mile to get the right shot is apparent. He very quickly got under the skin of what we were trying to achieve and perfectly interpreted our ideas and ambitions for our films. The work that he has delivered is outstanding and not only meets our brief, but far exceeds our expectations. We’d be happy to recommend David as both an individual and as a professional, you’ll find him fun to work with, easy to work with and very capable of delivering fantastic, engaging work.

Fiona Walker, Marketing Executive - Apeks Marine Equipment

We approached David Diley of Scarlet View Media to help our company produce a short corporate video. The brief that we gave David was quite complex due to the end result that we required. David quickly and easily understood our needs and translated these into an end product that more than met our expectations. I found David to be very professional and diligent in his work whilst creating a very relaxed and stress free environment in which to collaborate with our own ideas. I would highly recommend David as a film maker.

Peter Greenwell, Commercial General Manager, Apeks Marine Equipment

David is a hugely talented Film-Maker with a bright future. His creativity, passion and innovative approach to whatever he does ensures that quality and style are always of the highest level. His attention to detail, willingness to work harder than most and extremely high level of professionalism means he is a joy to work with and is one of the very tiny number of people we have trusted to get truly up close and personal with our Bull Sharks here in Beqa Lagoon. His friendly and personable demeanour also makes him an excellent man-manager, putting even the most nervous of people at ease when in front of the camera. We cannot wait to work with David again!
