Throughout the process, my team and the team at GJ were in continuous contact, had regular and ad hoc meetings, and communicated through direct message interface. This allowed the work to be completed professionally and efficiently, within the agreed timeframe. The team at GJ was always receptive to our feedback, our requests for modifications, and added their own creativity to enhance our vision. We were very happy with the process and extremely satisfied with the quality of the final product.

It was been a pleasure working with Groove Jones on our project. They were very open to hear our ideas and helped contribute with creative problem solving. Everyone who has seen and experienced the project was impressed by the quality of work. The entire team was very responsive and communicated clearly throughout the process. The management team worked extensively with us to understand the budget and timeline constraints so that both parties could meet expectations. Highly recommend to others!

I was the consulting producer and writer who brought in Groove Jones to build and bring to life a real time motion capture CGI Otter for the Saint Louis Aquarium, and I am extremely glad that I did! With a challenged budget and schedule, the folk at Groove Jones came up with great solutions. They created a very simple and intuitive system which allowed me to train the actors and get them up to speed in two days. Amazing and great people to work with!

I have worked with Dale/Gary/Dan over the years on various projects, and that brings with it a layer of comfort and stability that I appreciate during the hustle & bustle of our schedule. Beyond knowing that they will deliver, they are tremendous collaborators who bring deep knowledge of leading tech innovations to the table that really help bring a concept to life.

Groove Jones was great to work with. They completed two projects simultaneously for us, and nailed both of them. Great to work with, and kept us looped in during the whole process. Will definitely be working with them again.

What can I say about Groove Jones that hasn't already been stated? They were professional every step of the way from pre-production to even the event itself. The end product, a VR app, was the talk of our booth and impressed our executive team. Groove Jones, while they only had to build the app, were on hand to assist our team in showing the finished product. Overall, very happy with what we did with them and I would recommend them to anyone needing VR/AR.

We embarked on a very aggressive project on a very aggressive timeline. Although Boyden & Youngblutt hadn't worked on a VR project prior, we "are" very proficient at storytelling and producing television spots. Couple that with Groove Jones's attentiveness to detail and ability to bridge the knowledge gap and you have an extremely successful outcome. One of Groove's greatest assets is the effort to work as a true partner — not to mention the comfort they bring in terms of their experience.
