TESTIMONIALS
Luke Jurevicius
Director and owner of Vishus Productions
Vijay is a highly skilled professional, who knows how to deliver quality work under high pressure deadlines. As one of Vijay’s international clients, I felt confident and assured that my projects were in very good hands. Vijay has a refined directorial eye and a strong sense of design. His illustration work is lovely! He also led the storyboarding team for 108 minutes of 2D animation for one of our projects (Larry the wonder Pup) with minimal retakes.I fully endorse Vijay and would highly recommend him and his studio (Varchas Animation Studio) as a rock solid Pre- production facility that won’t disappoint!
Ginger Gibbons
Director
I was the director of 78 x 6 min episodes of Ella Bella Bingo for NRK TV, Norway. I worked with Vijay Raibole (Varchas Media) very closely for two years on this project. He was in charge of the design, the storyboards and the layouts. The work he provided with his team was accurate, inventive, well thought out, always on time and very professionally produced. I also found that Vijay was very easy to work with. I would happily work with him and his team again and have no hesitation in recommending Vijay and his company to other Directors and Producers.
