“Taylor James is the complete package. They really do a fantastic job guiding you through the whole asset creation process and at the same time offer great creative solutions and suggestions. We had a fantastic experience working together on Subaru.”
Ines Soto, Associate Art Producer, Designory
“This project for KME was a really complex project, which required a lot of attending and fine-tuning of copper materials and products. But the great team of professionals at TJ helped us overcome any logistical problems. We chose them, not only because we needed a good team to assist us, but also one which would bring added-value to our creative solutions. Quality is important to us, so we always look for professionals. Together with TJ we made a brilliant team.”
Francesco Guerrera, Executive Creative Director, TBWA, Italy
Working with only one production company throughout the Derdubor project had a very notable impact on production- on a pressed deadline, we still managed to tune the look and feel of all the aspects in a great way with a consistent look and feel across various media platforms. Their involvement from the photo-shoot in the Norwegian Fjords to the finishing touches on the print and TVC ad, this just added to the consistency and quality of the project. This also impacted the budget significantly- especially since the client didn’t have to pay for separate artwork for both print and interactive… The client and ourselves were very happy with the results. As we’ve worked on several projects with Taylor James we were confident that they would be hands on, precise and give the project that extra little love.
Christian Westerberg Thoresen, Co-founder and Creative Director, Soulpolice
Innovative, original, visionary, just a few of the qualities shown by Glen and the team at Taylor James. I’ve collaborated with Glen on a number of projects, all of which have given our clients access to outstanding, forward thinking, creative talent.
Shea Kelly, Business Development, Keenes, London
Working with Taylor James was a well run operation throughout. There were very clear process stages and the team were always on the ball offering plenty of help and creative suggestions. They were willing to work within our budget and you know what you receive will be top end. Very impressive!
David Frost, All City Media, London
Taylor James has an amazing portfolio. We were attracted their high-end work and proven ability on working with CGI in the automotive sector. They have also worked a lot with creative teams and have a great understanding of working with interactive teams and when to push the use of CGI for the appropriate jobs. We worked with TJ to create a proof of a concept we had for Aston Martin. This was a key note at Microsofts Mix08. They produced a stunning result in a short amount of time, in keeping with the exceptional brand that is Aston Martin. I highly recommend their work and with CGI, you really can do anything.
Mark Leeks, How Splendid, London
We were very happy with the final results working with Taylor James on our latest project for Migros. Taylor James remained very professional throughout the whole process and we’ve really appreciated their endurance in the test and research phase…We also really appreciated their creative input on every stage of the job. It’s nice to have the feeling of working with people who also want to make the most out of a project. CGI was actually one of the reasons we decided to work with them on this project. When we evaluated different studios for this project we knew using CGI would give us a freedom in the overall composition that could never be achieved with photography. We’re still convinced that it was the best way to go and positively impacted the overall concept in the end.
Fernando Perez, Creative Director at Jung Von Matt, Zurich
The one thing that I always say about Taylor James is that you’re not just punctilious technicians you’re artists. Anyone can read a manual, anyone can retouch, operate a piece of hardware, and not everyone has artistic ability. Couple Taylor James with a photographer/artist like Garry Simpson and you no longer just have commerce you have something more.
Lance K. Ferguson, Art Director, TBWA/Chiat/Day, Los Angeles
Taylor James has been second to none for me over the last five years on all aspects of retouching, consistency, attention to detail and creatively.
Simon Thorpe, Photographer
The animation and still images created for Citrix brought to life the sense of simplicity and power these ads were meant to convey. Both the web and print media have produced great results for our client. Working with the teams through postings, tight email communication and phone conversations proved to be no obstacle to creating great work in spite of the time zone differences. Additionally, work on NetApp earned great results- the entire team was wowed by the reality and perfection of the elaborate “server factory” that was created. Integrating photography of a human worker into the scene at the last minute went seamlessly with Taylor James’ fine CGI and retouching teams. We couldn’t be happier with the outcomes.
Melinda Estey, Vice President, Senior Art and Broadcast Producer, Young and Rubicam, San Francisco
Having one production company throughout the project definitely had an impact in the project. Taylor James was instrumental in conveying the creative vision. In particular the explanation of the Motorola campaign was pivotal. With their help and questions we collaboratively fabricated the creative vision. Using CGI as opposed to photography on the project made the impossible possible. They were incredibly organised and managed the production seamlessly.
Julia Parry, Art Buyer, JWT, London
We would have never been able to showcase the entire island if we would have gone with live action for the TV ad it would’ve lost the personal touch of the island as all live action. Their creative direction on the project proved that using live action and CGI provided the perfect balance of beauty and realness we were looking for. Their problem solving is impressive as we didn’t have a blank slate. We had to hit specific areas on the island that appealed to the consumer. So the “fly-over” technique over Bermuda had to be really well thought out. There were a thousand technical decisions that had to be rendered just so in order to make the trip engaging and they came through.
Desmond Hall, Executive Creative Director, GlobalHue, Detroit
Having Taylor James on board throughout the project had a very notable impact on the overall creative vision of the brief. We were able to directly envision our initial creative ideas and more nearly realise our branding objectives by having a close working relationship with their creative team. Their creative direction allowed for us to determine the best possible technique to achieve the concept of the brief. Using CGI, we found we had more control over the project and the ability to edit the detail that we wouldn’t have had had with a live action production of the ad.
Sarah Haythonthwaite, Head of Marketing, Calor Gas
From the first time we met you guys prior to even working with you we were incredibly impressed by both the level of execution as well as the buttoned down production process. CGI, for the print work made the images absolutely seamless. Using CGI for the print work not only made the images seamless but it also allowed you to dramatically enhance the shot we wanted…The Toyota IQ was incredibly impressed with the final result-for me the triumph on this was to see it printed 40ft high wrapped around the IMAX. We hold this work up as something we need to always aspire to in any future work we do on Toyota. As Glue we are equally proud of this work and it takes pride of place in our showcase reel.
Dan Griffiths, Head of Design, Glue Isobar, London
Taylor James brings so much more than technical skills to the table. They bring along a unique point of view and imagination that set them free from relying only on a program to tell them what’s possible. It’s that sophisticated, finely tuned artistic vision that every Art Director hopes for in order to achieve something truly special. And they delivered.
Mark Thompson, GSW Worldwide
The work I produce has to meet the most rigorous standards—it must be appealing to the eye, be effective in the marketplace, and meet the exact specifications of our clients and our creative team. Taylor James helps me to produce this type of high-quality work time and time again—on a deadline, on budget, and from thousands of miles away. Their capable and conscientious staff, their sophisticated computer network, and their own expertise all contribute to create a superior product that we can all be proud of. They couldn’t be better—and I couldn’t be happier.
Dan Southwick, Senior Art Buyer/Print Production Manager Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco
They not only worked on our NYC time, but they worked NYC overtime as well. Day went to night, crowds multiplied, and additional seats arose. A grand shot became a beautiful ad with the work of Taylor James.
Duffy Higgins Art Buyer, BBDO Worldwide
Faultless in their execution, sympathetic in their finishing- the perfect balance for a wonderful campaign.
Bill Gallagher – Deputy Creative Director, M&C Saatchi, London
Working with Taylor James [on Amex ‘Gold Premiere’] we had such clear lines of communication with all team members throughout the entire process things moved along very smoothly. The end result was really amazing and the imagery was incredibly detailed and truly beautiful- beyond my expectations.
Mary Beth Sheridan, Senior Motion Picture Producer, Digitas New York
TJ is a peerless company. Our Motorola Second Nature project called for a website that was a seamless blend of 3D CGI and photographic elements. TJ were the creative force that brought all the elements of the project together in harmony, from conceptual treatment to print production to interactive design.
