"Lisa Skinner recently worked with me as a 1st AD and her work ethic was exemplary and her temperament constant, even throughout sometimes very difficult and challenging situations.She always brought us in on schedule with a smile and was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. I have no doubt we will work together on many projects in the future and continue to forge our growing friendship."

She is both strict and fair, keeps to schedule and balances the pressure of the shoot with warm hearted good humour. An asset to any production."
Anton Burggraaf, Showrunner
"Ultimate Braai Master is one of South Africa’s biggest reality shows and as series director, I cannot ask for a better right hand than Lisa Skinner. Having had extensive experience as an AD in large-scale reality shows, Lisa is able to firmly manage productions, offer keen insight and still be an immense pleasure to work with. Lisa's instincts are sound and her ability to pre-empt any potential issues and come up with solutions are exemplary. Myself, cast and crew feel sublimely confident when Lisa is on the floor. Formidable, respected and so likeable, I cannot recommend Lisa Skinner highly enough."
Geoffrey Butler, Series Director
STILLS PHOTOGRAPHY
"I have been lucky enough to be able to work with Lisa on many productions over the last 11 years. Lisa’s work is always impeccable. She has an amazing eye for getting the exact shots that we are looking for on every occasion. Lisa understands set protocol and if it were not for her amazing energy and personality we would never notice her sneaking around the set getting her job done. From being stuck in a rain storm on a tiny island in Mozambique right through to glamorous studio shows, Lisa always manages to deliver, while having the perfect energy to make crew, cast and contestants feel truly comfortable on every occasion."
Ryan Deacon, Series Producer
"Lisa’s talents behind the camera are abundantly evident, whether she is shooting stills on action-packed live television shows, or styling her own shots in the studio. Her effervescent personality, coupled with years of invaluable experience, means that she is able to put at ease even the most nervous of subjects, while consistently delivering work of the highest calibre. From the first shot to final edit, Lisa’s work is impeccable."
Ingrid Engelbrecht, Publicist
"Lisa's expert understanding of the kind of images a production needs make her an asset to any set. Her work ethic, the ease with which she effortlessly blends in with the crew and her ability to make contestants (who are often nervous) relax are a gift to any show. Her work is so versatile that it can be used for social media, advertising, and media coverage. Her combination of personality and professionalism are a blessing to any production!"
