Laughs were shared by all! I was blown away when I received my footage back from the team. The production quality made it look like we pulled the scene straight out of a movie! Sound, editing, direction -- all were impeccable! Since putting my reel to use, I've been getting called in for every project that I submit for with my reel attached. I owe it all to Southern California Reels. Thanks team!

These ladies and gents are the best. I got stunning footage from them, shot originally in 4k, and…read moretheir directors are actually top notch and make sure to get the best performance from you. I was so pleased with their service, and two key reasons are: A) I had more control over what type of scene we'd do to tailor how we're presenting me as an actor with the best scene to showcase that and B) the footage looks more professional than most of my short or student film footage, it's equal to real TV show quality due to the camera, sound and lighting quality. This is a great crew, highly recommended.

I produced a small shoot at Central Station Media on 10/24/15. Cast and Crew size = 12. I wouldn't…read moresuggest having a cast and crew over 15 unless you have staggered call times. Our shoot day was split up into two parts, inserts and a green screen news segment. The pre-lit greenscreen was a plus as it saved time. Also, the HMU/Kitchen area is very convenient. The size of the space worked fine for what we needed and the staff was very helpful in assisting us with our needs. There is limited parking so I had to feed the meters for my small crew every two hours along Ventura Blvd. which wasn't a big deal. However, you are given several parking spaces on the top lot which I used for my talent and it was very convenient. I only have two minor issues with the space: 1. Since they are new to this location, the organization of the Grip and Electric package wasn't as great as it could have been but I'm sure that will improve in time. In addition, a few more flags, floppies and small frames and diffusion options (or even some gels) would have been helpful. No biggie though. 2. There is an audition space just adjacent in the same building and we had people coming into our little foyer area often looking for their audition. Not a big deal but a little more clear signage provided by CSM for our doors and parking spaces would have definitely helped out. Again, no biggie. All in all, this is a great space and I will be recommending it to all of my colleagues. If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would! Upinder and Keven are great guys and I will definitely use them again.

Excellent service, right on Laurel Canyon in Studio City. Every aspect of what we needed was handled with ease. This also included DVD's as well as email friendly video files we can use. For some reason they don't seem to have a website. I found them in the yellow pages. But don't let that deter you. We had our job done in an hour on the same day we needed it.

In the beginning everything seemed fine. We got the price we wanted, amount of hours for the day and a decent video package. But in my hurry and last minute timing, I did not realize that I booked a vendor with little experience. The trailer and short film were ok, but we got the feeling that the team who worked on the edits had their own vision of our trailer and short film. On the day of the wedding they wanted me to write a note in a card so they can use it in the video, but that was just not my style. Good thing we were short on time, so I didn't do it. Then, as they were sending us the drafts of the trailer and short film, the music we requested were not used. We tried to make changes and edits, but only a couple of our requests were completed. Then came the documentary video, dun dun dun. This is where we had the most problems. My issues were that the sound quality was not consistent and they did capture of the most special, surprise moment of our reception - a flash mob. They could did not show how this moment unfolded, from start to finish. We were very disappointed since they had more than enough time to make it 'perfect.' And after many emails, texts, and even a call from our wedding coordinator, no response. They even got the wedding date wrong on the DVD and had to remake a second set. Pay attention to detail!!! I guess it isn't that important when this is just a side business.

I was just re-living our wedding by watching the SDE (same day edit) that they created for us, and had JUST said to my husband "what a great job, I'm so glad we picked them as our videographers, we had so many money shots that others wouldn't have picked up". The entire team was very professional. When I hire a vendor, I am entrusting their expertise and expecting them to perform flawlessly from beginning to end. We did not even know a SDE was going to be made for viewing during our reception, it was an extra they threw in for us. Needless to say, nary a dry eye was left after all our wedding guests got to relive our festivities with us. Enough from me, here's our feature from Style me Pretty with the video attached.

My experience with JIG Reel Studios became much bigger than just getting footage for my acting…read morereel. One of the biggest things Justin teaches is that acting is not only an art -- it's a business. He pushed me to think beyond simply auditioning and hoping someone gives me an opportunity. I learned how to approach my materials, representation, networking, and career with much more intention. And the results speak for themselves: during my mentorship, I started seriously submitting for representation, took meetings, and I GOT SIGNED! That was a huge milestone for me and something I'm extremely proud of. I also took another major step in my career by producing and acting in my own short film. Justin constantly encouraged me to stop waiting for permission and start creating my own opportunities, and that mindset completely changed the way I approach this industry. If you're willing to put in the work, ask questions, and actually apply what you're learning, there is so much you can take away from JIG. I came in wanting a stronger reel and walked away with a better understanding of the business, my own short film, representation, and a completely different mindset about my career. I'm incredibly grateful for Justin, the mentorship, and the growth that came from my time at JIG Reel Studios. Thank You! MW

You can tell he's an actor as well because he really took the time to discuss our characters and the scene with us before we filmed so we could make strong choices and breathe so much life into our short scene. The set, lights, sound, and camera was of the highest quality. Everyone on set was very talented and the team worked really well together! Thank you to Newton, Kenzo, Shaina, Carter, Veronica, and Justin! Definitely recommend JIG to all actors who are looking for professionally filmed clips for their demo reels!

A word of warning to my fellow filmmakers! Totally wasted…read moretime and efforts! Absent and misleading communications! Had one of the worst experiences in past month with Dream Reach Media, company of Daniel Brea. Received an e-mail from Daniel with words: "We have a thriving channel with thousands of views per day and we're finally opening it up to projects outside of our own". In the follow up form was stated that "If your project qualifies we will contact you to discuss the licensing terms." Even before had mixed reviews from my fellow film creators about Dream Reach, but decided to judge by myself, not words of others. Being currently in talks with couple platforms willing to license recent film, my team decided to reach out to Daniel's company and look out what is it. No direct answers were provided to my e-mails about what is this channel and where can I look at it, and what is this "licensing terms"? Instead I was constantly referred to book so called "Filmmaker to Producer Chat". Even after phrase "Here's the link to our channel" provided link was to the same booking website. At this point it looked already slightly suspicious and as a waste of time, as usually such as my questions on other platforms can be answered in couple short e-mails. But my team decided to go whole way. Booking was just a continuous mess. Booking system not allowing to select more, that 3 days ahead. Only available time of my team was coming next week, in 7 days. Followed a whole bunch of e-mails back-and-forth, with "please try this link" again and again - and nothing was changing, as system was not allowing to book more, than 3 days ahead. E-mailing was another addition to poorly organized process - instead of reply to older e-mail under one subject as conversation, each new message from Dream Reach team would come as a new e-mail, forcing to go back and forth through bunch of messages. Took a week of such exchanging messages to book what supposed to be just 1hr call. At last, it looked like we settled with person "MAAX" from Daniel's team on "I'll manually arrange your booking for Tuesday, Oct 17, between 10 am - 12 noon. I'll confirm shortly." Have we moved somewhere? Not a chance with Dream Reach. Coming Monday, no new messages. On inquiry is there a booking for tomorrow - "Please try booking an appointment again via this link". At this moment it starts looking like one of those scam-schemes spread over web, which just trying to get money, without providing anything or doing a simple thing. Ok, book manually for tomorrow for said time. Received a whole bunch of messages confirming said booking and link to lenghty video of Daniel himself, where he states that he "value your time!". As it turns out - that statement was simple lie. Coming Tuesday. Automated e-mails keep coming. "Your appointment is starting in approximately 1 hour." "Your appointment is starting in approximately 10 minutes". So, do I have at last some kind of meaningful communication? 10 am. Nothing. Ok, I usually let people be late 15 min, everything can happen in this life. 10.30 am. Nada. 11.00 am. Nope. 11.30 am. Send an e-mail, trying to clarify. Was it canceled? Rescheduled? Some emergency? 0 answers. No apologies, or any kind of communication followed in next two days. So, what we have in the end? Misleading advertisement e-mails - at this point I doubt that  "The channel is part of our Dream Reach Media community" exists at all, or that they do any kind of "licensing". Blatant lies that "we value your time". My team wasted week on e-mails and I lost 1 hour waiting for booked and confirmed call. Lack of simple professional ethics - if you schedule meeting or call - you follow it up. If you can not do it - you reach out before, or after. If you can not help this person in any way or do any kind of mutual business - again, you reach before, apologies and explanation. It looks like it is easier to reach Moon by yourself, than anything at all with Dream Reach Media under Daniel Brea.
