    Daphne B.

    My sister used Awkward Turtle Media for their wedding at a vineyard in Pleasanton a few weeks ago. I was shocked that within a few weeks they would have a number of the photos ready to preview and wow do they look wonderful! Andy was crawling all over the place to get a shot. I remember thinking um, that's going to look weird and then he would show us the photo and us being like, oh damn. Of course one of the gals would then try to take the same exact photo with their cell phone a few seconds later and we would all start laughing, because it would look just awful. They were very professional and a pleasure to have at the wedding.

    I debated whether I wanted a videographer for our wedding for quite a while. I didn't want to drop…read morea ton of money on a short music video as a lot of other companies advertise because I preferred something less "cinematic"/was looking for more of a "documentary/authentic style" of the highlights and ceremony. Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn't feel like you're on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I'd highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!

Graham is very responsive and easy to work with. The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special. Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch. Thank you so much Graham!!

    I work for a PBS documentary crew, and we needed a green screen space on short notice in Oakland…read more Luckily someone recommended Artichoke Productions. What a neat space! Paul was an excellent host and willing to have us on a Sunday morning. The space was perfect for a sit-down interview with green screen. A relaxed atmosphere made the crew and the interviewee comfortable for the shoot. There is nice garden patio outside perfect for lunch on a sunny day. I would highly recommend this space if you have a small crew and need an interview space. I hope we can go back next time we shoot in the Bay Area.

    The day we selected Paul Kalbach of Artichoke Productions as Director of Photography for our…read moreindependent feature, The World Famous Kid Detective Agency, was a very good day. Throughout pre-production, Paul advised us on crew, predicted the snags we would hit and offered practical solutions, and was a consummate professional as we worked to finalize our scheduling, crew and locations. I can honestly say that he was the rock on which we, the producers, built the production. He called me personally when he noticed an oversight that could have cost us dearly. He also generously shared his contacts which led us to an absolutely ace crew who came through every day of filming. As a low budget film, we could not supply the full crew to support him, but that never stopped Paul from pushing for quality and getting the absolute best that our grueling schedule allowed. He is an artist and combines that sensibility with decades of experience in the world of independent film. His genuine easy-going temperament kept many of us going when our locations/circumstances were challenging. And our locations/schedules were always challenging. Our director constantly spoke of Paul in the highest terms, an opinion shared by everyone on set - cast and crew alike. As Director of Photography, he was instrumental in getting us through our pages. And we made our days every shooting day, letting us stay on schedule and budget. And, in the first stages of post production, I can say the footage is excellent. The use of his Zephry cam (an amazing steady cam mounted on a Segway) gave our film production values far exceeding our budget. The jib shots he designed are beautiful. His technical knowledge of his equipment is expert level and his prices beat every rental house in the Bay Area by a significant amount. I do not believe that we could have made this film without Paul and on behalf of the producing team for The World Famous Kid Detective Agency, I recommend him without reservation.

    I hired Marina's team to film a One Person Play called The Father Daughter Dance in San Francisco…read more It was a two camera shot and the results are tremendous. The quality of the video I received was first class. The way the team integrated both cameras in the shot came through was perfect. Marina was superb to work with. She was diligent about scoping out and creating a contract from my needs. She was responsive and flexible when we discussed what her work would be that night. I loved how her cameras were small and high quality not taking up a lot of seats in the theater was really valuable as I could sell more seats. Her work post production was remarkable. She was professional as we iterated on that the ultimate video looked and sounded like. I'm SO happy I hired her to do that post production work, no way I could have done that myself. Finally, she created a great trailer clip that I can now send to any potential venues that I want to book my show at. I strongly recommend Marina's team to work with you on shooting a theatrical performance like mine or any other video needs.

Not only were they friendly and professional throughout the day, but they even went above and beyond--helping us when our car got stuck in the sand at the beach after our wedding! As someone who is into videography as a hobby, I was looking for a production team who could deliver great production value, look, essence, and capture each moment of our wedding so that we could be transported back to that day every time we rewatch the footage. Mike and his team absolutely delivered. The videos turned out beautifully, capturing all the important moments and emotions in a way we'll treasure forever. Mike kept us in the loop, stayed in great communication, and provided preview edits so we could give feedback before finalizing everything. The final products were polished, creative, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Sesno Media Productions for weddings or any special event in the Bay Area. Mike and his team truly care about their clients, and it shows in both their work and the way they go the extra mile.
