Erin and the team at Room3 have always impressed us - their creativity and attention to detail begins from their pitching and goes right through to delivery. We love working with them at WaterAid; they've never produced anything less than a brilliant animation, delivered on time and budget.
Elle Spring
Communications Manager
CBM Australia
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Room3 across multiple projects.
From creative conception to film completion, Room3 are incredible to work with, bringing stories to life.
Their flexible approach and commitment to honouring a person’s story, result in impactful films that go beyond project targets – never did I think our films would reach the world stage at the United Nations in New York, but they did – twice!
Robert McKechnie
Multimedia Producer
Plan International Australia
Plan International Australia worked with Room3 to create an animated explainer video on the importance of girls’ education in achieving climate justice. Room3 helped us to tell this story in a clear, concise and really engaging way. Every step of the process was clearly explained and from storyboarding to the final outputs the project ran seamlessly. Room3 has helped us to tell a complex story with creativity and flair. Couldn’t recommend Room3 enough.
I was lucky to work with the Room3 team to produce a series of stories in Tonga and Samoa on transport – and how to build more resilient infrastructure in the face of increasing climate impacts. I have truly loved working with Erin, AJ, Lara and the team. They are wonderful collaborators, great communicators – and they throw themselves head first into the work. They are considerate, thoughtful and brilliantly organized, always thinking ahead and of different shots, ideas and inspiration to help make each production shine. In post-production, team Room3 is top-notch, delivering outstanding animations, edits and image choices that really help us deliver on our vision. Above all else, working with Room3 was FUN. I can’t wait to do so again – and can’t recommend them highly enough.
