October 2026 | Great Missenden & Thornbury, South England

Bristol Video Co. recently joined forces with creative agency &Robin on a testimonial video production for Rodenstock, the international optical lens manufacturer at the forefront of biometric lens innovation.

Taking us from Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire to Thornbury, just outside Bristol, the production brought us into two independent optical practices to capture the people and expertise behind the technology.

Through a series of authentic interviews, we explored how Rodenstock’s advanced eye scanning technology and connected software are helping opticians enhance their everyday workflows and deliver a more personalised customer experience.

Our role was to bring these stories to life through professional interview filming, considered lighting and sound, and supporting B-roll that captured the character of each practice.

Testimonial Video Production: Putting Real Experience First

Customer testimonials are an effective way for businesses to communicate the practical value of their products and services. Rather than relying solely on marketing claims, they give existing customers and industry professionals the opportunity to explain their experiences directly.

For Rodenstock, the objective was to hear from independent opticians about how its biometric measurement devices and connected software support their day-to-day work.

We filmed at two reputable opticians:

• Susan Collier Opticians in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire.
• Johnson & Furze in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire.

Each interview was designed to provide a natural, informative account of working with Rodenstock’s technology, from biometric eye measurements and lens consultation to the wider customer experience.

The approach was deliberately conversational, allowing each optician to communicate their knowledge and experience in their own words.

Exploring Rodenstock’s Biometric Eye Scanner and CNXT Technology

A central topic of the interviews was Rodenstock’s DNEye® Scanner, which uses biometric measurements to capture detailed information about individual eyes. This information can then be used in the design and production of personalised spectacle lenses.

The production also explored CNXT, Rodenstock’s connected software platform, which helps opticians manage elements of the customer journey, from consultation and lens selection to ordering.

The wider discussion covered several technologies within Rodenstock’s optical ecosystem:

• DNEye® Scanner: Biometric eye measurements used to support the creation of individualised lenses.

• CNXT: Connected software that brings together measurement data, consultation and ordering workflows.

• ImpressionIST®: A digital centration system used to capture precise fitting measurements for spectacle lenses.

• Rodenstock One: The wider ecosystem connecting Rodenstock’s devices, software and supporting services.

The interviews were intended to demonstrate how these technologies fit into real optical practices, providing useful insights for other opticians considering or already working with Rodenstock.

Corporate Testimonial Video Production Across the South of England

The production took place on 5 October 2026, beginning at Susan Collier Opticians in Great Missenden before travelling to Johnson & Furze in Thornbury.

Working within active retail environments required a considered approach to camera positioning, lighting, sound and the available space. Both locations presented different interiors and practical considerations, so each interview setup was adapted to suit its surroundings.

Our aim was to achieve a consistent, professional visual style while preserving the natural character of each practice.

Alongside the interviews, we captured supporting B-roll footage, including practice interiors, exteriors, optical equipment and details of the working environment.

This additional material provides visual context for the interviews and allows the editing team to illustrate the topics being discussed.

Working With &Robin on a Healthcare and Technology Production

The project was produced in collaboration with &Robin, a creative agency specialising in healthcare marketing and communications.

Working with the agency and Rodenstock’s marketing team, Bristol Video Co. provided the on-location production services required to capture the testimonial material.

The production included:

• Pre-production coordination and shoot planning.

• Professional interview filming using Sony cinema cameras.

• Interview lighting and location audio recording.

• Supporting B-roll footage across both practices.

• Organisation, preparation and delivery of footage for post-production.

The shoot was completed across both locations in a single production day, with the footage subsequently prepared and transferred to the client for editing.

Why Testimonial Videos Work for Healthcare and Technology Brands

For organisations developing specialist products or services, explaining complex technology can be challenging. Technical specifications are important, but prospective customers also want to understand how a product performs in practical situations.

Testimonial video production helps bridge that gap by bringing real people and their experience into the conversation.

For healthcare, manufacturing and technology companies, well-produced interviews can be used to communicate several important messages:

• Credibility: Hearing directly from professionals who use the products.

• Practical applications: Demonstrating how technology fits into everyday workflows.

• Customer experience: Explaining benefits from the user’s perspective.

• Product understanding: Making specialist technical information more accessible.

• Versatility: Creating interview-led material suitable for websites, campaigns, presentations and digital marketing.

The strength of a good testimonial lies in its authenticity. Professional production supports the message without making the interview feel overly scripted or promotional.
