Megan Elliott – Gingercloud Foundation
To whom it may concern,
I am so thrilled to be able to provide a reference for Lachlan Fletcher from Studio 18a.
Since my husband and I founded GingerCloud Foundation and started the Modified Rugby Program (MRP) in 2014, Lachlan has captured the heart and soul of our vision on film.
Lachlan captures every emotion and tells the story of families we support in a truly exceptional way.
What I love most about working with Lachlan is that I know he sees the story he wants to create long before he picks up his camera.
Every shot is taken for a specific reason to support the strength of the story he wants to tell.
His many decades of experience in TV shows in every shoot, in the way he interacts with people and his ability to draw out from them precisely what he needs.
Without Lachlan’s story telling on film over the past 3 years, the MRP would not be gaining the support it is today. His videography creates such powerful stories which has allowed us to show the true impact if the MRP on our children’s lives.
We honestly cannot thank Lachlan enough for everything that he has done and continues to do for us.
Please feel free to contact me on 0410 654 812 if you would like any further specific information.
Kind regards
Megan

In my role I work with a number of production studios, and I can confidently say that Lachy Fletcher and Studio 18a provide the best combination of customer service, competitive pricing and artistic style. Studio 18a is consistently my first port of call when developing films. Lachy and his team are flexible, fast, and accommodating of the special requirements involved with working with our organisation.
Having worked with Lachy for five years, I can think of many examples of when he’s gone above the call of duty, but the most recent was a job where he really saved my neck. I had booked a green screen studio for a film featuring a VIP; having never filmed there before, Lachy called ahead to talk specifics with the venue and discovered that it would have been impossible to film what we needed there. Lachy managed to shift all the arrangements around at the last minute, finding us a new venue and reworking the concept with me. I really appreciate that Lachy was looking out for us, and the VIP commented that she had never seen such an organised shoot.
Another element of working with Studio 18a that I haven’t necessarily found elsewhere is that I only have to give feedback once to have it pulled through all future films. General feedback like what copyright to use or specific things we like in films – this will be remembered and applied to future cuts without having to be asked. It’s a serious time saver and lets us focus on content instead of the little things.
Lastly, it’s just pleasant to work with Studio 18a – I know we can be a time consuming client, but I’ve never experienced anything but enthusiasm, patience and helpfulness from Lachy and his team.
