“We greatly enjoyed working with Zenergy on a new video program for Introductory Spanish learners. This was a complex project with many moving parts, shooting locations all over the world, tricky logistics, and extensive pre- and post-production work. Josh and his team were professional and organized, traveling to regions near and far to capture people’s stories, surroundings, and activities as we highlighted an array of cultures from Spanish-speaking countries. Josh and his team are expert storytellers and did a fantastic job of presenting each person’s truth with stunning images and sound.”

“Working with Josh and team at Zenergy was one of the more seamless projects I’ve ever worked on. Early on, clear expectations were set and agreed upon, making the project run as smooth as possible. They understood our creative ideas and were very helpful from the storyboarding process to hearing our feedback in post. I’ve already recommended them to another department in my organization!”

“Zenergy is a very creative and easy-to-work-with outfit we engaged for our most recent video commercial endeavor. They continue to be consistently reliable and on-time in their deliveries with our current second project.

It is always difficult to know how well a vendor will click once a relationship begins, even with an initial good feeling about them. Zenergy has by far exceeded all expectations. I am very satisfied with the quality work they produce and look forward to many future projects!”

“During the production of five marketing videos, showcasing our company’s international assessment delivery capabilities, Zenergy designers and producers effectively applied creative direction to illustrate our complex concepts. Within the confines of imagery, symbolism, and sound, they were committed to matching the final product to our international vision. Offering iterative reviews, being receptive to feedback, and looking for ways to exceed expectations, I found the experience of working with Josh and his team positive and dynamic. Zenergy’s team is responsive and thorough: they are effective communicators, proactive project managers, and detail-oriented designers.”

“I worked with Zenergy on a project to develop a series of 24 short Astronomy education videos. They ran the location shoot professionally, did an excellent job of editing footage from three cameras, and delivered gold versions of the videos on time and on budget. But, most importantly, the videos have been a hit with our customers — astronomy professors and their students. I look forward to collaborating with Zenergy again.”

“Josh and his team were wonderful to work with! While they planned extensively for the shoot, they were also flexible and adaptable when those plans needed to change. I had never been called on to do video work of this length before, and the whole team really went the extra mile to help me be comfortable in front of the camera, maintaining a relaxed, low-stress attitude, yet sticking to the shooting schedule. I could not be more pleased with the production quality of the videos, or the quality of the experience—if we were to make more of these videos, I would absolutely request this team again.”

“I can’t say enough about the great experience I had working with Josh Barinstein and Zenergy Films. They produced a series of short videos (both for marketing and editorial purposes) for us to support a ground-breaking new Statistics textbook we were about to publish. In the planning stages, Josh and his team took care of all the location scouting and arranged all the facilities, and they brought expert creative guidance and insight to the table as we worked together to design our video strategy. During the shoot, they were efficient, energetic, worked wonderfully with our author team, and got the job done in record time. The post-production process went smoothly, and they delivered an enormous quantity of beautifully executed videos on time and within our budget. I will work with them again and again.”

“Fairchild Books worked with Mr. Barinstein and the talented team at Zenergy Films to produce twenty short videos to accompany a bestselling fashion history textbook. Not only did Mr. Barinstein guide us through the new waters of film production — from script development to final edits — he and his team brought a wealth of experience and offered solutions and suggestions at every turn. The precise attention to detail and clear communication throughout the process made for a dynamic and collaborative relationship and a wonderful final product.”

“I really appreciated Josh and Zenergy’s willingness to listen and fully understand the scope and the specifics of my project. Their ability to integrate me (the textbook author) at every stage of the video development process (from concept, to casting, to editing) was a breath of fresh air.

Their openness to feedback (I truly appreciated the adjustments they made to various segments based on my commentaries) and the fluid communication channels established — and maintained — throughout the project all contributed to an excellent experience.

Zenergy was able to surpass my expectations. When my concept was susceptible of improvements, they implemented those improvements making the final product actually better than expected. That amount of *extra initiative* in their work truly sets them apart!

But above all, I truly appreciated the superb technical quality of all the video segments (the casting, staging, lighting, sound, editing, etc.) — impeccable!”

“I worked with the Zenergy team on a large number of animations in both Anthropology and Political Science — they were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. After having them produce an initial batch of Anthropology units, I asked them to produce more in that discipline and work with me on a large number of Political Science animations I had slated. I found them to be very communicative, creative, and personable. I look forward to working with them again in the future!”

“I worked with Zenergy Films to create a series of developmental reading and writing animations. The project was on a tight deadline and budget and Zenergy worked closely with us to meet our needs. To save time, they proposed that we start with detailed storyboards before animating any of the elements, which proved to be a brilliant idea saving us a lot of time in edits. Given our small budgets, we could only afford to use stock images and video to create the units, but Zenergy was able to transform them into professional quality, engaging animations.

I am continuously impressed with Zenergy’s work and have received a lot of compliments on the work they have produced. They are my preferred vendor for video and animation projects and I would recommend their services to anyone looking for high quality video production work.”

“I worked with Josh Barinstein and Zenergy Films to develop a series of videos in Psychology and highly recommend this company.

Josh and his group completed a complex video package that included shooting three separate sets of videos – for marketing, demo, and chapter intro purposes – and providing all post-production services. They managed to do so while remaining true professionals and were a pleasure to work with. Throughout both the shoot (at our offices) and post phases, Josh and his team were communicative, timely, and flexible.

I have numerous colleagues who have worked with Zenergy in the past on similar projects, and they, too, have had positive experiences.

Josh and Zenergy have rapidly become one of my preferred vendors, and I highly recommend them for the work on any media project.”

“Zenergy worked on a number of interactive projects for me during my tenure as Director of Digital Design & Development at W. W. Norton — in Political Science, Music, and Chemistry. They were sharp, timely, and a warm bunch to work with — always eager to help and produce awesome results. Their good work gradually expanded over the years to other Media Editors at the company, for whom they have shot and edited video, exercised their animation skills, and created further interactive content — such as graphing tools and map-related materials.

I would recommend Zenergy to anyone in a heartbeat.”
