“I have personally and professionally never been more impressed with a retouching service since I’ve been in the advertising business. The Operators, our retoucher who was referred to us by the photographer Tim Flach, not only went above and beyond our expectations—They gave creative suggestions and always gave us something back to be excited about. I will most definitely be using him again on future projects.”

The Dublin Theatre Festival job was an difficult composition of a large number of elements. The images were accompanied by the Line “get blown away”, referring to the emotions the viewer goes through while watching a performance. The tricky part of the brief to the operators was to match the correct expression to the correct body pose, as with this campaign line, the wrong expression would look either very sinister or the opposite, slapstick. Getting this tension right meant communication, and the abilty to view changes quickly online were key. The Operators online proofing system meant that ever though we were in different countries, it all happened seamlessly, and without a hitch.

“With 4 multi-part comps and tight deadlines to contend with, The Operators were able to deliver on time and excel on retouch. Highly recommended. ”

“The image was a tricky brief for a couple of reasons…. The Operators were unfazed by this, and took charge of the job, turning around a perfect result in a short space of time. It felt like they were coming from the same place as me and Bill, and anticipated our concerns. The online workspace worked well as the job had three way input. Very happy with the results, and keen to work again with The Operators ASAP.”

“Finding the right retoucher who can share the same vision and understanding of an image can often be a tough call, but The Operators have a great understanding which makes working with them very easy and their skills are excellent, a perfect combination for superb retouching work.”

“To be given a car picture shot in a studio and placing it into a landscape that needed manipulating is a walk in the park for The Operators and the option of directing via e-mail is common-place and so convenient. The ability Kai has for interpreting my sometimes contradictory and changeable art direction was intuitive and very skillful but the extra creativity he installed into the pictures feel and mood was accomplished and unexpected. This extra creative talent makes the hole process professional, relaxing and exciting – looking forward to the next one”

Simon Mills | Photographer

“It was invaluable having Kai on the set, it was a complex studio shoot, combining a massive set build with character actors. His creative retouching, seamless work flow, and ability to problem solve, kept the shoot moving at all times. The finished ad is brilliant as it really bought to life our original concept and the feedback we’ve had from gamers and non-gamers alike has been great too.”

Theo Bayani | Art Director | TBWA London

“Working with The Operators was great in my experience. They took the brief well and didn’t stop working on the images until we were completely happy. The Operators is clearly one of those companies you work with who cares about a perfect end result as much as you do. Using them again would be a pleasure.”

“In November ’08 we shot the highly confidential 200EX project for Rolls-Royce.

This meant being ‘holed-up’ in a Munich studio for several weeks.

Due to a large number of shots and an ambitious deadline, we needed a creative retoucher on location who could get started immediately and continue working as we shot in tandem. The Operators understood exactly what were trying to achieve and together with the photographer, Kulbir Thandi, produced a dramatic and beautiful series of images.”

Clive Parsley | Art Director | Andrew Aldridge

“Working with The Operators has been an absolute pleasure, from initial

Pre Prod meetings over to the final stages of the Project we where working on close togther. “The Operators really understand and read me well and do the up most to work hand in hand with the creative!”

The Professionalism coming out of the Operators is a true experience and they have

taken my images to the level I wanted. From an easy workflow over to the editing suit

Communication has never been made so easy and simple.”

A true experience, thank you!”

“The quality and professionalism of the work produced is superb. We had such a tight budget but The Operators’ retouch elevated the standard of the final images immensely. I found them a pleasure to work with and their input and ability would make me recommend them to anyone in the industry.”

Andy Lennard | Senior Art Director | Baber Smith

“What sets The Operators apart from the rest for me is the flexibility – The Operators joined me on set for the duration of the shoot so we could be in constant contact and make sure we had the right source images to work with from the start. A sterling service from beginning to end would recommend them to anyone in the industry.”

“Often the vision you have and the end result you want can be miles apart, we bring our goal-posts closer together by using talented intelligent people, The Operators exceeded not only my expectations but their own. Ideas that keep most Creative Directors on their toes mine especially, not that I am bias.”

The finished job certainly provided myself, and more importantly our client, with the ‘wow’ factor.”
