Merlin Films Testimonial: “I had the great pleasure of working with Matt and Merlin Films on a mitigation obligation for the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and the Depot District Bus Depot project. UTA needed to demo the historical Denver Rio Grande Locomotive Shop for the project and the Utah State Historical Preservation Organization asked that they document the building and the history prior to removal. Matt was provided LiDAR data from the contractor which turned out to be corrupt and unusable. Matt didn’t let that stop him and made an amazing video that showed the exterior of the former building and interior using historical photos that he embedded into the video. The video included an informative narration with historical facts. Additionally, Matt provided an interactive model with hot buttons the user could click on for facts and pictures. The video and model turned out amazing, was delivered on time, within budget, and more than satisfied the obligation that UTA needed to fulfill. The video and model can be observed on the UTA Central Depot District Garage Project page (The Central Depot District Garage (rideuta.com)). I would not hesitate to use Matt and Merlin Films again.” Buffie Chournos – UTA Environmental Compliance Administrator “Matt has been a professional in every aspect of his work with us. He communicates well, listens to a clients needs and brings creativity to a finished product. He’s timely with delivery and fair with price.” Mark Smoot.
