TESTIMONIALS

Chris Scarffe of Madagascar Film & Photography (MFP) doesn’t have one title; he shoots, produces, edits, and directs. Whether above or below water, MFP brings an unmatched level of professionalism and commitment to all aspects of production. The teams positive attitude and ability to work in high stress situations and remote areas of the country was invaluable to our production. On top of that I was extremely impressed with the quality of their footage.

Images really matter when trying to portray conservation stories. Madagascar Film & Photography [MFP] has such an intimate knowledge of the many environmental issues in Madagascar and this really shows in their images. Their experience means they manage to film and photograph things which others would find difficult to access. Chris and Goff at MFP are a fantastic team and a pleasure to work with.

Madagascar Film & Photography did a fantastic job of bringing to life the vital role that Community Patrols play in protecting some of the most endangered species in Madagascar. They managed to get to really difficult to reach places and captured breath taking footage of animals, their habitats and the people they share it with. We can’t wait to work with them on future projects for Durrell.

I've spent more than a decade working with field producers and fixers from all over the world, and Madagascar Film & Photography (MFP) still stands out. We asked the impossible of them, and yet they delivered, securing unprecedented access to people and places under tight deadline pressure, Chris & Goff always found a way to make it happen. It's safe to say our story would never have happened without them, and I'm already eagerly anticipating the next story I can collaborate with MFP on.

Chris Scarffe of Madagascar Film & Photography captures alluring video, while telling a story that demonstrates the junction between environmental conservation and development challenges. In his footage from Mozambique and Madagascar, Chris was able to get close to impacted communities, and film moments that are difficult to observe from an outsider perspective. His work demonstrates that he lives the issues he films.

I had an amazing experience working with Madagascar Film & Photography (MFP) on a conservation education documentary they filmed for our organization Planet Madagascar. In spite of challenging conditions, visiting remote areas of Madagascar, MFP managed to get stunning and powerful shots and more to make the documentary possible. They offered a wide set of skills to help us get the documentary off the ground including writing, filming, and editing. I highly recommend MFP and I’ll definitely turn to them for any future filming needs

Working with Madagascar Film & Photography (MFP) was a genuine pleasure. Not only was the award winning film better than we ever imagined, their sensitivity and professionalism in the field were greatly appreciated. Working with coastal communities is an integral part of our work. Having crews like MFP, who understand the challenges and rewards of such work, gives us the confidence to continue to commission media projects that communicate the complex issues facing the marine ecosystem and the people whose lives are dependent on the oceans.

Chris Scarffe of Madagascar Film & Photography is a professional who fuels his work with his passion for the projects he works on and his own personal curiosity. We worked together to develop a story that dealt with very difficult access as well as very real dangers and Chris and his colleague Goff delivered more than we expected. Chris is also very unique because of his high skill levels as a producer, cinematographer, underwater videographer, and as a drone operator. Thanks again to MFP, the whole team is looking forward to working with you all again.

I recently used some of their images to illustrate a paper in Nature Sustainability ‘the last chance for Madagascar’s biodiversity’. Their powerful images helped bring the story to a different audience

The entire RISE team had a fantastic experience working with Chris & Goff at MFP. They provided us with very professional pre-production and production services. This included obtaining all the necessary film and aviation permits and advising on the most beautiful and meaningful locations to tell our story. On top of this Chris’s underwater and drone shots were incredible. We highly recommend their services for every stage of production and we would love to work together again.

I have worked with Chris from MFP on a number of marine conservation media campaigns and I couldn't rate him higher. Chris' professional mastery of both technology and technique is world-class, creating stunning imagery. Chris is also a wonderful, kind and diligent colleague to work with and really caring about doing a good job, as well as being passionate about the positive conservation outcomes of the work we do together.

Madagascar Film & Photography recently helped us get world-class photos of a sustainable development project we operate in central Madagascar – I highly recommend them for the quality of their work, communication and excellent client management. Goff was an amazing photographer, and beautifully captured the local stories, people and environments in a way that massively beat our expectations.
