Adapting to COVID-19: Evans Chou Studios’ Response to the Pandemic
Statement on Wednesday, 18 March 2020
As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, we at Evans Chou Studios want to reassure our clients and employees that their health and safety are our top priority. These unprecedented times have led us to implement several changes to how we operate, ensuring the continuity of our services while minimising risks.
Adapting to Remote Operations
To comply with health guidelines and reduce physical contact, we have shifted to a fully remote working model, as we have operated without a physical workplace since day one. Our team is working from home, utilising the latest digital tools and platforms to continue providing the same high-quality service and creativity you expect from us. Although we may not be physically present, we are always connected and ready to collaborate with you online.
Maintaining Strong Client Relations Virtually
We understand that communication and collaboration are critical to the success of our projects. That’s why we’ve enhanced our virtual meeting infrastructure to ensure seamless interaction with our clients. All client meetings, consultations, and project reviews are now conducted via video calls and virtual platforms. We encourage our clients to reach out to us through email, instant messaging, or video calls for any updates or questions.
Remote Filming and Post-Production
While physical distancing measures might prevent traditional in-person shoots, we have adapted by utilising remote video shoots, client-provided footage, and stock media libraries to continue producing high-quality content. Our post-production workflows are entirely digital, allowing us to edit, enhance, and finalise projects from the safety of our homes.
For projects that require unique footage, we work with local freelancers or production teams that follow strict health and safety protocols. This ensures that even during lockdowns, we can source fresh, original content without compromising anyone’s well-being.
Commitment to Employee Well-Being
Our team’s well-being is crucial to maintaining a productive and positive work environment. We have introduced flexible working hours and ensured that our employees have the resources they need to work from home efficiently. We are also promoting mental health awareness, encouraging breaks and providing access to online support services during this stressful time.
Encouraging Contact-Free Interaction
For the safety of our clients and employees, we strongly encourage contact-free communication. This includes utilising digital signatures, online project submissions, and virtual feedback sessions. By reducing physical contact and implementing safety precautions, we can contribute to slowing the spread of the virus while maintaining business continuity.
Looking Ahead
As the situation continues to evolve, we are closely monitoring guidance from health authorities and will adapt our approach as needed. We remain committed to serving our clients, even in challenging times, and will continue to provide creative solutions through innovative, digital means.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the pandemic, and we urge all our clients and employees to prioritise their health and safety. Together, we will navigate through this crisis and come out stronger on the other side.
Stay safe, and don’t hesitate to contact us for any assistance or enquiries. Let’s keep connected and creative during these difficult times.
