Lamp Studios is a small film and documentary production company at 120 Victoria Avenue in central Whanganui. The studio is upstairs, and a visitor found it hard to locate for that reason. The website says the team of creatives is small, works closely together, and is led by Abby, the founder and owner, who has run the company since 2010. Abby manages the logistics and sees each project through from start to finish. Jeremy Cooper is the editor, mainly using Premiere, and Paddy works on set. The website says the team has an open-door policy unless they are shooting, so visitors can drop in to talk.
Customers praise the storytelling and cinematic work, with a strong documentary feel. They describe the team as passionate experts who make communication and the process enjoyable, and who turn ideas into finished work. One early visitor could not find the studio, and was contacted by the owner, who explained the purpose of the visit. Reviewers mention storytelling and communication. Our pick in Whanganui for documentary and film work with a small, close team.
