We undertook a large scale qualitive research project for a major studio (NDA). From 2023 to 2025, we spoke 1:1 with over 330 crew members about training, skills, career development and freelancing.
Our team of 17 specialist researchers from within the industry spoke with crew members across 14 different departments, from heads of department (including multiple Oscar winners) down to junior crew, often spending an hour in conversation to capture their thoughts on a variety of topics.
All interviews were conducted in confidence and our department specific expertise and knowledge uncovered feedback and insight to help shape a new project within the studio and implement the most crew and production friendly version of the offering.
We used a structured questioning framework to uncover real-world experiences and actionable insights. Our insights were distilled into executive-ready reports that translated our research into clear, strategic direction.
We delivered an overview report for all crew and 14 individual departments. Each document was short, focused, candid and provided clarity for next steps.
