Our customers are our biggest fans.

Here are a few nice things folks have said about the Onset Assistant.

"Onset turned out to be a really valuable tool even on a small indie film set. I was nervous at first to introduce any new technology into the process - thinking that it may be more hindrance than help on such a small set - but it turned out to be hugely useful and really easy to work with. Every department used it throughout the shoot."

Millefiore Clarkes
Writer/Director Solastalgia

"I can't imagine going to another film shoot and having them say there's no Onset."

Donna Gorrill
Script Supervisor

"It was invaluable to help me spot bogies, reflections and focus issues."

Mahdi Selseleh
Camera Assistant

"The Onset Assistant instant playback feature for quick reference saved my hide hundreds of times a day by solving crucial continuity questions."
