My 6 year old had a 2 scene selftape to do, and we got it done including the slate in a very productive 45 minute session. My daughter had time to do several takes of each scene for some options and we never felt rushed. She wasn't nervous and felt totally at home. The prices are reasonable and the person we worked with was AMAZING. The files were edited and sent to me within the 45 minute session and we got to watch them back. 2 solid takes for each scene. Perfect.

Visually, I was so pleased as well, with the takes turning out well lit, flattering and with a clean back drop. We ran my scenes many times as he was incredibly generous with coaching. I did my first session in the evening and he even went as far as to allow me to come back the morning afterward when I wanted to make a few minor tweaks to my work. By the time I sent in my tapes, I felt so peacefully proud of the work I did and the quality of the shots. I will most definitely be calling Self Tape Studio again and am recommending to all my fellow actors.

Her talent spans event…read morevideography (weddings, memorials, birthdays, anniversaries,...), business videos, performance videography, and more. She captures those perfect moments that a non-experienced videographer typically misses. Bonnie's talent doesn't stop at videotaping. Her expertise and creative ability to produce a finished project are jaw-dropping. I have seen some of her raw footage and what she can create from it, and it's a talent many do not have. Her superpower when filling business videos is her ability to make the person being filmed comfortable. She helps them create a video that connects to their audience instead of one that looks "canned" or over-rehearsed. I refer all of my clients who need videos to Bonnie and encourage you to do the same.

I was extremely frustrated with how my recent booking was handled. Joyce and the team charged me…read morefor arriving slightly early when I was only asking to be let into the main building to drop off equipment. One of the team members opened the studio early, which I thought was just a nice gesture. But come to find out he just wanted me to get charged an extra half hour. I did not ask to enter the studio when talking to Joyce on the phone, or begin my booked studio time early, so I don't think it was reasonable to charge me as though I had extended my rental. I just wanted to ask to be let into the building early if possible (since the exterior is locked). I liked some of their other locations where they had a keypad so you could enter the building slightly earlier but not go into the actual studio before your start time. I've also over the course of my rentals, have encountered multiple pieces of studio equipment that were broken or not working properly during my bookings. I've been reluctant to mention it because their rental rates are relatively inexpensive, and I've tried to be understanding about that. But after this experience, I felt it was important to say something.

This is the perfect place to do your podcast, independent video production or personal project! I…read moredid a podcast a few years back and I was amazed by the entire production. The studio is beautiful, the sound is perfect and the production work Felicia does during the taping is the perfect touch to any project. A little time after the podcast, my dad and I wanted to do a father/son interview. He was stricken with terminal cancer and we wanted to preserve a legacy and story of our family. The interview was done professionally and Felicia sent me a link to easily download the video. I immediately watch it, downloaded it and knew we had done something important for our family. My father passed last year and when I went to watch our interview the link and file still worked (we're talking four years later). I forgot to download the video again and my previous computer died. I thought I had lost my memory of my father. I reached out to Felicia (almost 5 years after the interview) and asked if she could help me find the link. 30 minutes later she sent it! Video in tact. Memory in tact. Legacy in tact. What an amazing soul. I was blessed by Felicia and I can't recommend her services enough. The entire operation is a class act! Thank you again, Poetess!!!

She runs her own studio, sound booth and talent stage. She does not outsource her production studio. She is involved with every single production. The best thing about this place is by far having the expertise of Felicia right there. She will go out of her way to make sure the customer is happy. The facility is nice, and a great place to bring clients! Very private. Must enter through a privacy electric gate, no through traffic where you enter. The studio itself is sound, clean and the people that frequent there are professionals. The lighting is beautiful! The facility also has other rooms, each with its own unique features including a green screen room, a conference room, and a step-and-repeat for photo sessions. Nice setup. Super effective - sessions are booked in one hour increments. Felicia is a perfectionist (in a great way). She wants to see you win! The final product will have her brand on it so she is very committed to polished execution. As the daughter of a famous disc jokey and a mentee of Cathy Hughes (Founder of Radio One) - listed as the second-richest Black woman in the United States, after Oprah Winfrey, who would expect anything different. Conveniently located in South Central Los Angeles, the professional podcast and voice studio is uniquely in its own lane. First class accommodations and service!

Eddie and Alex were right on time, at both locations before the wedding (for the bride getting ready, and groom getting ready). And that's not easy as he drove from LA to San Diego for our wedding. As soon as they arrived, they got right to work. They took control when it was needed, angled us for the best shots and caught so many wonderful memories! We were fortunate to get married on the beach and the sunset photos Eddie and Alex captured are absolutely breathtaking! We also hired them for the photo booth and their photo booth is not your typical one - it is a full on studio style setup with Alex taking the photos! Great shots and memories were made! When we were searching for a wedding photographer, one of our non-negotiables was to receive every photo taken, even if it was an accidental shot of the grass. We wanted everything. Most photographers we spoke to would not agree to this. But Eddie was open to it and worked with us on it and ended up giving us ~3600 photos (40GB)! Yes, 40GB! :) That doesn't include the photo booth photos (which were another ~175). His honesty, hard work and incredibly friendly personality won us over! We can't say enough about Eddie and his team. Thank you very much for giving us years of memories to look back on. We recommend South Bay Studio to any and everyone from San Diego to LA!

Now for our wedding, his whole crew did a great job. They were very professional and on top of everything. Whatever we needed we came first to him and did all he could to make our day memorable. We received our pictures not to long ago and they came out perfect. I would recommend Eddie to anyone that needs a photographer for their wedding day. You will not regret it. Just as a side tip we look around and priced around for many different photographers and we went with Eddie. I am that person that is always double guessing my decisions especially when these are the pictures you are going to cherish and look back on your special day for the rest of your life. So trust me when I say Eddie is the person you want to go with. You will not regret your decision.
