Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the communication manager and spokesperson of the University Hospital in Brussels. In 2009, I began a PhD focusing on the doctor-patient relationship. The thesis explained patient empowerment and gave insight into complex of power dynamics.
For what projects/services did your company hire BluBlu Studios?
BluBlu Studios produced a unique explainer video to promote my doctoral thesis. I plan to use the video on websites, upload it to YouTube, and show it during trainings and speeches.

How did you select this vendor?
I found BluBlu Studios through their professional, creative website.
Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.
I didn't expect BluBlu Studios to analyze my thesis. Instead, I sent them a basic script with amateur drawings. After on a Skype consultation, we agreed on a timeline and process. They sent me a mood board, from which I chose colors and character stylings, and delivered a script with text, drawings, and motion descriptions. After exchanging adjustments, they invited me to comment on the first version.
What was your vendors' project management or feedback process?
Two BluBlu Studios employees were involved, and it was clear who my contact would be. Through regular email updates, they gave a clear overview of project phases and deadlines. The process was simultaneously formal and informal. It's challenging for a company to apply clear project management procedures while developing a personal relationship.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
I plan to use the film widely, but have already shown it to small groups and individuals. I always get positive comments. The video looks professional and is subtitled in Dutch and English, which is crucial for mobile users. Even more importantly, its message and story come across as intended. It achieves its objective!
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
BluBlu Studios applied a transparent, effective process. We never wasted time or effort.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
BluBlu Studios always understood what I wanted. They were reliable, flexible, and respectful of my deadlines and budget. They produced the film in three months, which was exactly what I wanted, and charged an honest price. The film grew a bit longer than planned, but that didn't ruin me. I enthusiastically recommend BluBlu Studios.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Honestly, there were none. I was extremely satisfied with the result and with every aspect of the collaboration. I would work with BluBlu Studios again without hesitation. They deserve the highest praise I can give.
While not yet released, the high-quality artwork meets expectations. BluBlu Studios was diligent, responsive, and delivered on time.
