Testimonials
At Big Banana we have many satisfied clients, here are some of the things they have had to say:
_______________________________________________________
We started to work with Rick / Big Banana on our campaign shooting in Malawi in 2010. We were so impressed by his scouting and abilities as a fixer that we have worked with him ever since. Even outside Africa - where he seems to know every stone - he has become our man.
He worked with us in India (Mumbai and Rajasthan area) and Russia (Moscow and Western Siberia) , Indonesia ( Java and Flores ) and currently we are preparing a shoot in Nepal. A Camel Active shoot means as many locations a day as possible, long working days and lot’s of travelling. I really appreciate that Rick is well organised, structured and has a good eye for our settings. And not to forget – he’s fun to work with!!!

Dear Rick
Thank you so much for all your support in realising the project on the ground; especially for Lusitu and the Kariba Dam – both priceless locations and stories - we really couldn’t have made this film without you.
When Jody first talked about you he never mentioned your peerless screen acting skills – no one could have realised the drowning South African hand-liner than you – what’s the equivalent of the BAFTAs in South Africa? – do you need me to put a word in?

Hey Rick,
We just got back yesterday and shit, exhausted. Just going over the scouts again this morning and what can I say? A top notch job all around (with a bit of fun thrown in).
Thanks again for taking care of me (us), I really hope that we get a chance to work together again soon.

Hi Robin
Now that I’ve had a couple of days to recover I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help in South Africa. We had an amazing trip and the shoot went really well. I’m delighted with everything we filmed. We really appreciate all your hard work, efficiency and good humour! The access you organised to both people and locations was superb, and will make for a very special film. I’ll definitely be coming back to South Africa.
All the best,
