You can't get any better than Evolve Media. I approached Tommy in January to see if he'd be interested in tackling an off-beat educational video series with an unusual style, a demanding schedule, and even more demanding clients (my team and me). Tommy made the effort to meet with us in the East Bay on two occasions, figured out a way to make our budget work, and accepted the job. We are now in production on the third video in the series and Daniel, our producer, has made the entire process so seamless. He's quick on email, and he always picks up his phone -- heck, I even have his attention on Facebook, if need be! Daniel spends an entire day in storyboard meetings with us; the production crew is always on time for equipment set up and take down; the equipment is top notch; the editors are competent and work tirelessly; the visual effects are like BAM!; and all of this work is done with the utmost professionalism and cheer. As mentioned above, this project is totally experimental--a blend of academic-style lecturing, improvised art and live-action sketch. We interviewed many candidates for the job, and many of them were unsure of how to execute these videos. Tommy and his team were up for the challenge, and with every video, they rise to the occasion in terms of execution, creativity and excitement. They love our project as much as we love our project -- and we couldn't ask for more than that. The best decision I ever made was to hire Evolve Media. read more

My company asked me to find a video production company in San Francisco to capture some footage at one of our retail stores. The request was handed to me on a Saturday afternoon for an "event" that was scheduled to take place on Tuesday. In my search, I happened upon Evolve Media Productions and based on their published work and customer reviews I decided to send them an email inquiry on Saturday night. Within minutes I received an email from Trevor Dudeck. Trevor and his team were willing to take on this project despite the short (3 day) notice and helped guide me through the entire process. They were amazing to work, extremely responsive, detailed oriented and professional. They did a site visit the day before the shoot, coordinated all of the logistics with our onsite staff and captured exactly what we were looking for with regards to footage. They absolutely lived up to and exceeded their reputation as being a professional company willing to accomplish the impossible. I highly recommend working with Evolve Media Production and I believe they will be a great resource for us with future projects. read more

I have a website http:www.clearbumper.com and I wanted a video on it that will show why you need product ... I shopped around for pricing ect and was shocked at all the different pricing and all the bull that everyone threw at me explaining why they are so expensive. Tommy on the other hand didnt do that at all. He shoots from the hip and produced exactly what I wanted and worked with the budget I had set aside for this project. If anyone wants someone who will listen to what you have in your mind and produce it the way you want. Well then Tommy is the guy. Oh and what was even better is after the video was done I still wanted to add a few things and in the past dealing with people like him they get uptight and tell me that they will have to charge for the additional work.. NOT WITH EVOLVE... they did it without even trippin.. all he said was.. "is there anything else you need me to do Mark? that in itself shows he/they are top notch... read more

We are an enterprise software company and we hired Evolve Media to work on a product marketing video for the global launch of our new product suite and our new brand. We had a tight deadline at the end of the calendar year and a team located in the US, Europe and Asia. Trevor and the whole Evolve Media team was amazingly responsive since we first approached them, met every single milestone we set, worked seamlessly across timezones, and the end result exceeded our expectations. Their approach is very client-focused, their animation is always creative, their production is pro-level, and they are always there when you need something. Our product marketing video is now in four languages in addition to English and used all over the world. I would definitely work with the Evolve Media team again without a second thought. Top-notch creativity & professionalism! read more

Evolve media has a reputation on Yelp for accomplishing the impossible and demonstrating what it means to be professional in the video production business. I would have to say that they have met and exceeded even that reputation, and I couldn't recommend them higher. I approached Evolve with a project with an insanely short timeline and constrained budget, and was given a pragmatic assessment which both met our goals and turned out to be spot on in terms of production timelines to meet the deadline. Their crew worked tirelessly to get things perfect, and that level of artistry shows in the final product. I would choose Evolve for future work, and would heartily recommend them to others looking for a production company in San Francisco. I would also heartily recommend Daniel, as Tara's review summarizes his responsiveness and ability to make everything work. read more

We hired Evolve to do an instructional DVD for our company. We were nervous in picking a company to work with since we had a negative past experience with a different production studio. We also had some specific needs that we were not sure they would be able to capture. From the first day working with Tommy and gang we knew that we made the right choice. Our video is amazing, edited perfectly and they make the process seamless. They are SO professional and can execute to the exact point your brand and desired outcome. We will for sure use them for all our media needs. read more

My company used Evolve Media for our recent event Globalpress Summit and I couldn't be more pleased. Evolve took care of the Audio/ Video for the event and also recorded all presentations to generate videos for different companies websites and technology publications.

I would definitely use them again. read more

This guys are real pros. My company was on a serious deadline and frankly, had the gall to ask the impossible. Evolve didn't even bat an eyelash. They bent over backwards, broke their backs to meet our deadline, and exceeded our expectations in every department. Their animation is top notch, production is pro-level, editing skills are incredible, and they do it all with a friendly smile. I'll be returning to them again with more business! read more

Evolve Media will be doing a marketing video for us in the next couple months and we are very excited to work with them again. read more

We hired Tommy to rework some old materials from shows we were featured in into one streaming PR piece. Wow! I was extremely impressed. The completed work was much better than I expected.

Tommy and his team were recommended by a colleague to help us create a promotional video for our high school.

We will definitely choose Evolve for future projects. read more

I have worked with Tommy and his amazing crew on two seperate occasions and could not be more happy with the Videos. My latest project with Evolve included many interviews with individuals who were not so comfortable in front of the camera. Everyone at Evolve made them feel comfortable and were patient with the numerous takes; the finished video is amazing. read more

Evolve Media, specifically Oscar, were a dream to work with. We had 4 videos to do about a tough concept.

I highly recommend this great group for any project!! read more
