"We always love working with Dragon not only because of the excellent quality of the work on screen,
but also because of the clarity of communication and ease in coordination.
I can't recommend Dragon highly enough."

"I've worked with Dragon on multiple projects now and not only are they a pleasure to work with,
but I've also found them to go well beyond what's expected to realise the final product.
From the grade to the VFX, they've made my films look infinitely better,
whilst giving me constant confidence throughout the process."

"Our experience working with Dragon throughout the shooting and post production of Last Summer was second to none.
From rushes delivery through the edit, vfx delivery, online and final grading process, Paul and his team
were exemplary and provided us with a service that would be hard to beat."

Jonathan Jones, Director / Writer

"I have worked with Dragon Digital with great success and enjoyment to finish ten of my films over the last decade.
Being based in Devon I make the two and a half hour drive to Dragon's facility and spend several days working with the colourist finishing my projects in the calibrated theatre before returning home. I love working alongside the team at Dragon."

Leo Dickinson, CEO ADVENTURE ARCHIVE

"I've chosen post-production outfit Dragon Digital for five of Western Edge Pictures' features to date, three of which I directed myself (Third Star, Mr Calazghe and Pistorius) and two of which we produced for writer / director Alice Lowe (Prevenge) and Ryan Hooper (The Toll). Each time, they have proven to be the masters of their technical game, the most dedicated of problem solvers and always on board with the necessary creative direction so that the final results match up with, if not improve upon, the original artistic vision for the film. Above all, considering their location in South Wales, they are so much more competitively priced than London post houses and therefore represent the best value for (the ever squeezed) production budgets."

"Paul and the team at Dragon have collaborated with Nimble on a number of projects over the years for national and international broadcasters. The standard and quality of grading and finishing at Dragon is why we keep coming back. The attention to detail and care and attention to bring our content from high-end sport documentaries for BBC or sport-entertainment properties for Red Bull, is vital to us as a company that our work looks the best it can be, and with Dragon, they always deliver."

Dylan Wyn Davies, NIMBLE DRAGON

"When using a post production facility for the first time it is always a very stressful situation for a post production producer. Especially when they are eight time zones away. There is no time to "figure things out." The Dragon Digital Post team handled every request in an extremely quick and professional manner. When we threw multiple cameras, multiple episodes and multiple formats at them, all on the same day, they did not bat an eye. Footage arrived in our cutting rooms the next morning and we were able to move forward in our very tight post production television schedule. Paul worked with our timeframe and budget making it a very painless process. They even supplied us with office space to allow our directors to remotely cut with our editors back in the States. We were extremely satisfied with their services and would absolutely use their facility again."
