At last a magazine with content that any person in the video industry would want to read. Excellent articles, very interesting and informing, covering topics that are essential reading. Having read many different magazines in the past aimed at the video community I can honestly say that the iris publication is without any doubt the best I have come across.
Well done and I look forward to reading future editions.

I must congratulate you all on an attractive and colourful design. You have managed to achieve a good balance between white space, images and a good sized readable font. I found the mix to be just right between articles, software, equipment reviews and looking at what is new in the videography world. I also like the fact that I can easily access each issue online.
Keep this format, keep the font size and keep the white space. Be proactive and continue to set the standard for others to follow.
Well done to your team.

I've always been one to embrace new technology to increase the production value for my clients. I found the 1st edition gives an informed view on all the latest kit and will certainly help me in my choice of next camera and editing to invest in. A must read for anyone in the industry. I'm looking forward to issue 2 already!

Finally - I have just received my Iris mag, give yourselves a huge pat on the back, had a quick browse as it's Friday afternoon, yes it's 18:10 I could have been gone over an hour ago but started flicking through the pages…. Well done from layout, script size and all inclusive tech report/info which is like talking to your mate.
I don't know how to express this any other way than "bloody well done!" It's going home with me for the weekend for a proper read.
I wish you all the best - just don't land up cramming it full of junk later - I know you gotta pay bills but... NICE!

When you work as an independent producer/director, keeping up with current news and thinking can be a challenge. The Iris keeps me in the loop with the latest happenings in the industry, is impartial and well laid out.
Nigel Schermuly, Bandaloop Productions
Absolutely brilliant magazine which fills a definite gap in the market. Gives information about Hi Def and a variety of subjects in a way which helps us to demystify a lot of the new technology and its implications for professionals.
Thanks, very good.
Brian Trenerry
Fantastic mag. Great and clear information. Decent sized text! Can only ask for more!

At last the answer to a maiden's prayers. Well not quite a maiden but a grey haired old cameraman who thinks your magazine has hit the spot that others fail to reach. Quite simply, there is a whole crowd of people who work in this industry and just can't fully understand the technology and the jargon that goes with it. Most magazines leave me feeling frustrated and stupid as they assume you have a degree in digital technology. Here we have a publication which explains in an easily digestible way - along with a bit of humour - the complexities of the digital video world we live in.
May I wish you every success in the future. I will certainly be looking forward to your next issue.

Really nice size, quality feel. Huge amount of information contained in a small format. As someone trying to make my way in the industry from scratch, I particularaly liked how the magazine managed to place information & products in front of me that ranged from the aspiring to affordable which I think is important if it is to refelct the breadth of the industry. Well done. I feel inspired!
Duncan Souster, Sous Produuctions
What a great mag! Love the layouts - big photos on a white background. Info on new equipment, plus paper feel. Articles on editing systems & formats are all good stuff. Definitely an attractive job - that's also what I tell my wife !!
Don Reeve, Star Quality Video productions
Nice to see a magazine that isn't afraid to have a bit of fun, too many broadcast magazines I read are boring, expensive, have no kit reviews - just analysis of market trends, who's being commissioned by whom and for what. I'm a Videographer, I work for a living, but I also work because I enjoy it and want to have fun! I don't want to be bored!!!!!
Thanks for giving me something interesting to read (my accountant may not thank you as I will find more camera kit to buy, but who cares what he thinks!!!)
Chris Clements
Loved the first issue of the mag. I think you've struck an excellent balance between the technical and the humorous - something which is more often than not overlooked in most of the other magazines.
If you'd published this as a web-based mag, I'd have been impressed but to go to the trouble of actually printing it?!? I'm REALLY impressed as it shows your commitment to both the content and the readers, so very well done.
Thanks again for an informative and innovative mag!
Andy Brining, Brining Photography
Very informative, well laid out, well illustrated and a refreshing way of explaining technical `stuff` in an engaging and simple way without even a whiff of patronising the reader. The Guru`s guide to going tapeless was inspired - whoever wrote it deserves a huge pay rise!
Tim Hurst, Lighting Cameraman
Excellent edition. The articles on tapeless workflow (including Top tips) and choosing an NLE system were especially useful, and gave me at-a-glance comparisons in the table that I have struggled to find anywhere else. I look forward to seeing what you will come up with in future issues!
