"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Duncan on several projects, and I can say without hesitation that he’s exceptional at what he does. Duncan is a highly talented director, producer, and animator with a rare ability to combine creativity with absolute professionalism.
He created the animated music video for Hold On, a song I wrote and produced, bringing it to life through the brilliant character of Mr. Match. The result was an outstanding piece of work — visually compelling, emotionally resonant, and executed to an incredibly high standard.
Duncan is reliable, thoughtful, and creatively fearless. He understands a brief instinctively, elevates ideas, and delivers consistently strong results. He’s also a pleasure to work with: calm, collaborative, and deeply committed to the craft.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Duncan to anyone looking for a first-class creative partner."

"I had the great pleasure of working with Duncan on our movie, Doom Room. In his capacity, Duncan was responsible for editing an assembly of the movie as well as converting and organizing all of the footage. Duncan is one of the most dedicated, hard working people I have met and did an oustanding job in all that he did for us - including finding several vital shots we needed for the edit that we were able to pick up during production. Within a few days of wrapping production, we were able to sit down and watch the movie from start to finish. If you want someone that is imaginative, creative, knowledgeable and a real team player, look no further than Duncan Catterall."

“Duncan is fantastic talent to work with, marrying years of video & animation production experience with a brilliant mind for creative. It's been such a pleasure working on projects together over the years, and I always appreciate the depth of knowledge for video and animation, as well as the upbeat attitude that he brings with him. Would highly recommend!”

"I worked with Duncan on videos for three of my studio albums and he always made the process so enjoyable and seamless. From the original storyboarding to shot selection to shooting to editing, Duncan was a total pro on all these aspects and it was such a pleasure to work with someone who is such a creative and collaborative expert."

"We had the pleasure to work with Duncan for two of our songs, OVER AND OVER AGAIN and TWILIGHT. From concept to release Duncan has proven invaluable. He followed the projects with passion and professionalism, turning simple ideas and limited resources into top quality videos we are extremely proud of. We'll definitely work with him again, not just because he's serious business, but also because he's a great person to work with. Thanks Duncan! You're the best xx Alice, Dan and Jon at Aliceissleeping"

“Clearly, when you’re in a band you meet lots of people who want to get involved, but Duncan genuinely shone miles above anyone. He just seems to know exactly what you’re trying to achieve, asks the right questions, does the right research and then delivers exactly what you were aiming for. Its not rocket science, but honestly, nobody gets hold of a concept and nails is on the head like Duncan does. I’ve been involved in projects costing 20 times this and the results didn’t even come close. And, don’t even get me started on his after sales service. Honestly, if I could tell people not to use him, just so I could keep him for The Thespians, I would.”

"Having worked with Duncan on a total of six music videos so far, four live action, and two animations, it's pretty safe to say that I love what he does! Our most watched video on Youtube now has almost 250,000 views, but all of them have been great tools for promotion. Duncan has a very friendly approach and a great eye for detail, he's always willing to take your ideas and suggestions onboard, as well as give his own, and will even travel to remote locations to get the shot, he always comes up with a little story board in advance and keeps in touch about progress as the editing process moves along.
Great music videos don't come cheap but I've always found Duncan very good value for my hard earned money, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others or use him again myself!"

"What I like about Duncan was his in depth approach to listening, relistening, and reading the lyrics in detail to come up with a visual representation of our music. Communication is key, and Duncan is no exception to that. He clearly knows what he's doing and what he wants, next to that, he's just easy going and a real fun guy to work with!"

“Duncan understands the importance of WHY! Rather than hearing our ideas and thinking about HOW he would do them, he spent a lot of time trying to understand WHY we wanted certain things to happen, and why they had to be in the video. With that knowledge he was then able to understand what we wanted, and better interpret our wishes.
Often whilst Shooting we would see a smile appear on Duncan’s face and this would be followed by ‘I have an idea’. It is these spontaneous bursts of creativity which mean that no two shoots will ever be the same, and it is that creativity which attracted us to working with him in the first place.”

"Duncan hit the nail on the head in terms of what we were going for. He listened to what we wanted and helped visualise it. Creatively and technically, Duncan's passionate about what he does. An excellent collaborator."
