The Hutchins School Hobart

Charles Minster Productions have worked with Hutchins School for many years and we have found their work exceptional.  The company has an innate flair for capturing "the moment", for understanding the particular needs of its client and for presenting a finished product that is excellent.  I have also been impressed by their professional approach to the shooting of footage, by their willingness to shoot at odd hours on any day of the week, and to maintain a patient and tolerant air when I ask for things to be edited, re-edited, and edited again as we work towards the finished product.

Tasmania Fire Service

Tasmania Fire Service has continued to use the services of Charles Minster for over seven years to produce a number of Corporate, Promotional, Training and Public Education Programs initially in video format but more recently DVD’s. Minster has acquired an insight into our organisation, our people and our culture and the professional quality of the end product is a reflection of the time he takes to understand not just his client’s needs but also that of the target audience.
