What do you like best? The team. Each member approached the project with creativity inside the standards of sound instructional design. The account manager handled each stage and a major photo shoot with creative problem-solving and meticulous planning. The designers interpreted input intuitively and saved time by applying all feedback and edits accurately and with rock-solid creative judgement.
What do you dislike? What is there to complain about when the experience went so smoothly and the results were so solid and efficiently delivered?

What do you like best? I couldn't ask for a better partner to execute on our vision in a way that is instructionally sound, visually stunning, and budget savvy. Dan Keckan (CEO) takes a personal interest in the quality and success according to our desired business results. The scientific approach to instructional design through thorough analysis will serve us moving forward as we continue to mature our learning offerings. We are a movie exhibitor and Cinecraft gives us a cinematic and immersive modern experience.
What do you dislike? The only thing I would prefer is if they were closer to our corporate office. But their willingness and ability to coordinate with talent agencies, technical crews, and locations across the US, this never impacted the project. In fact, they were extremely resourceful in giving us options to pick the best local talent to fit our learning scenarios for a realistic product.

What do you like best? The e-learning creation steps allow the customer a good view of how the modules will work once completed. The tools are easy to understand and allow the customer to provide feedback/track changes. The project plan set delivery goals for both Cinecraft and the customer which helped keep us on track. Weekly check-in meetings were used to review issues and provide feedback.
What do you dislike? The document tracking process is challenging when there are multiple versions due to changes; specifically the storyboard. I think hosting the document on a platform where the document can be checked in and out might make it easier - e.g. Microsoft Share Point.

What do you like best? We've been working with Cinecraft for occasional video projects over the past few years and have no complaints. Dan and the whole team are always flexible and turn out a great product in an often abbreviated timeline.
What do you dislike? Honestly, can't think of anything. They always to a great job and work well with our fast-paced timelines.

What do you like best? What I appreciate most is that Cinecraft truly consults with us. They work hard upfront to deeply understand the need and propose solutions that we might have not thought about otherwise. In many cases, we've come to them with a proposed solution, and they consistently raise the bar beyond what we thought might be possible. I'll add that because they do due diligence upfront, their cost estimates are typically more accurate than many other providers.
What do you dislike? There really haven't been many negatives. All projects have "bumps in the road." Of course, everyone wishes this wouldn't happen. However, whenever we have had "bumps in the road" on projects with Cinecraft, they have been proactive, communicative and collaborative.

What do you like best? A very responsive, creative organization that helped us realize our goals for an online LMS. Their support in translating our product information and training best practices into an entertaining and educational series of courses, has really helped to keep our audience engaged. Other positives: Always delivered assets on time, support multilingual versioning, able to troubleshoot and support any specific requirements we had as a client, fair pricing
What do you dislike? I have no complaints. In the capacity that we have worked with Cinecraft, they have delivered consistently and have met or exceeded expectations every time.
