We’ve loved working with Humdinger (formerly Stupid Old Studios). The team is friendly, flexible and just make everything easy. The studio itself is first class; clean, well-equipped and genuinely built for high-quality production. Definitely an ongoing relationship!

Andy, Emma & the entire team were super friendly and accommodating with all our requests. We reached out to the team regarding an April Fool's video for Vuly and they helped us in every step from ideation to filming to post-production. The video produced was exceptional and we are certain we'll be working with Humdinger again in the near future.

The team at Stupid Old Studios are great if you need a comedy special filmed. Easy to work with, quick return on the edit and easily incorporated any notes I had, plus they didn't mind me taking them aside for hours at a time to try convince them to join my pyramid scheme multilevel marketing company. The special has come out looking great thanks to their hard work. They offered reasonable rates and Evan himself promised to come round and tuck me into bed and kiss me on the forehead goodnight. Would work with them again.

Stupid Old Studios managed to help me turn my concept into the best possible version of what it could be. I couldn’t believe the scale of what such a small team was able to achieve to the highest possible standard and I’m so lucky to have been able to work with them on my project.
I definitely intend on continuing to work exclusively with Stupid Old Studios on all future projects.

We held our Annual Member Meeting at Stupid Old Studios and it was a great experience.
We were thrown a few curveballs on the day and the team accommodated for this and made sure everyone was comfortable and the process was seamless.

Humdinger is a very professional, high quality production company. We use them regularly for a variety of video shoots, including drones/aerials. They have a great understanding of client’s needs, they’re responsive, and importantly they love what they do and that comes across in the high quality of everything they produce for us.

It was wonderful to work with Stupid Old Studios. They were able to accommodate a quick turnaround, were easy to communicate with and produced a great product that exceeded our expectations. The icing on the cake? They were the most affordable out of the three quotes we received. We will certainly use their service again.

Stupid Old Stupids are an excellent team. They are obliging, cooperative and imaginative. Their creative talents really brought the project to life.

We loved our time at Stupid Old Studios. The studio is modern with all of the connectivity we needed for our live stream. The LED wall has a low pitch and came up beautifully through the cameras. We had full flexibility with the brightness and other settings to make our shots perfect. Emma and Evan were there to give whatever support we needed. We would definitely recommend and use Stupid Old Studios again.

Visual Communication Victoria has worked with Stupid Old Studios on 4 occasions and each time has been a pleasure. The films that have been produced are professional and edited with style and care. The interviews have been organised to make the interviewee feel relaxed and open, and everyone who has been involved with the filming has enjoyed the process and commented on how much fun it was to work with Stupid Old Studios.

The whole team did such a great job. I had a thought last year, and I've had it again in 2023: the crew are indistinguishable from the best I work with on the ABC.
