I HIGHLY recommend True View Productions for wedding videography services! I cannot say enough good…read morethings about Brian and Riley! They created an amazing highlight video for us and a full ceremony video of our wedding. They also helped with our day of wedding livestream for our out of state and out of country guests. The editing was absolutely amazing and nothing less than perfection. Myself and my wife and our bridal party were amazed by how well executed everything was and how good the videos turned out. Brian always provided excellent customer service and followed up with us every few months after we booked up until the wedding day to make sure we were doing okay and if we had any questions or concerns. That was something we appreciated. True View is nothing less than excellent and I highly recommended them. We now have great videos of our special day that we will always cherish! Thank you Brian, Riley, and True View Productions!

TL,DR: Found perfect fit: cost, quality, timeframe, happy!…read more Our team at Cookpanion became GNY members last December. We knew we wanted to create videos to show off our product and user success stories, but we only had a few rough ideas of what we wanted to make. Only one person on our team had ever done video production before. We all knew video conversion rates were really high, and that this could be the foundation of our small marketing effort. We wanted 6-12 videos to tell the whole story, and a way to version them for more emphasis throughout the year. After reaching out for bids to 10 of the "Best Seattle Video Producers", we realized the price per video was going to be in the 7.5k-15k range with anywhere from a few $100 to a few $1000 for our idea about versioning the videos, and adding some graphics etc. Well this quickly jumped out of scope for us so we spent the whole month talking to freelancers, and trying to do it ourselves, but we were wasting too much time and energy. Then Ian C reached out to my coworker over LinkedIn saying they had some end of year membership deals. Coworker said it sounded like exactly what we were looking for, which is hilarious, because the day before I had decided we should all stop looking and backburner the project for a bit. Why they get 5-stars in my book! 1) The customer service was fast, and actually helpful. 2) Membership got us 6 product videos, a custom intrographic, music, screencapture, greenscreen testimonials, background image, and graphical callouts. 3) It was roughly $700 per video (after tax). Freelancers were more expensive at around $1k per video. 4) They turned around each video in a week. 5) Their membership gave us 12 hours of consulting/practice time with their producers to talk about script, storyboarding, how to prepare to be on camera, which was really the gamechanger. 6) The studio wasn't flashy or expensive. It had everything but was still startup, funky, cool. My boss liked that. 7) Also it was a mile away from our offices, near the pike place market. 8) The videos we made were great. We didn't need a $15k creative piece, we needed something simple, but with better quality than the lighting and sound we could do in our offices. 9) Best of all, our 6 customers who provided the testimonials in studio had a good time. 10) Also, the clients who were in studio before us were like Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks so that was reassuring and a bit impressive. I guess no one can do it cheaper in house, haha. Anyhow, I thumbs up them. Much recommending. Ask for Ian, Eric, Troy, or Jeff. Cheers, Ian

He was polite, courteous and truly a professional! His work...We are waiting for our final production of our video but he did send us a rough version and we couldn't be more happy!

We met Ben through one of our friends' wedding. From seeing his work ethics first hand, our…read morefriends' recommendation, and his final work product, we booked Ben for our own wedding! We got married in Maui and Ben flew out to capture our days. I said days in this case as we had asked Ben to film a sunrise session and he was all up for it! Note that this session is the morning after our wedding (it seemed like a good idea during the planning phase - not so much when we had to wake up super early from an already long day before:) ) and Ben stayed about an hour away from where we were shooting. We met at 5am which meant he got little to no sleep the night before. But he was very energetic and enthused on the shoot. The day before the sunrise shoot was our wedding day, and he was there from the beginning (9am was when we started for the traditional tea ceremony and we ended at 10pm). So it was quite a long day! And it was hot! Every time and everywhere we looked, we see Ben hard at work. So we knew all the special moments on our big day was captured. He's a one man show, but he's super fast and his work ethics is very commendable. We highly recommend Ben to capture your special occasion! 10 stars on yelp if we could!

Magical Touch Media is rad. I loved working with Ben on a recent project at Seabrook, Washington…read more Ben filmed a two day styled wedding shoot that I designed and then he edited hours and hours of video footage into one spectacular, very emotionally evocative, and completely gorgeous video. I am so glad he was able to capture our time at Seabrook on film and tell a beautiful story of our styled shoot team in the process. Ben is so great to work with. He is a really nice and thoughtful person - and he knows how to be in the right place at the right time. Ben is also super professional and very responsive by phone and email. I am excited to hire Ben for some upcoming studio projects I have planned for the new year. If you are looking for a talented and creative Seattle videographer to document your special occasion and tell a truly original story that you will love to watch over and over again - don't hesitate to get in touch with Ben. PS. Tell him I said to ask why the word "magic" is in his company name. :)

While running for office in my hometown, I was connected with Evolv by a friend of mine who had…read morebeen recommending their services for months. With just a few weeks to go before the election, I had thought it impossible to get a video done in time. Enter Ben and Paul. Within 24 hours of making contact, these two were willing to get together for a meeting to discuss our vision for the video. Being that I am not very creative, I was lucky that Evolv was willing to guide me through the best structure and content options for a video like this. We shot the video the next business day after that meeting. Paul and Kaden made the filming easy and I credit their professionalism for the video's success. They were patient, dedicated to quality, and made the process comfortable. 24 hours after filming, the videos were cut and sent to me for any comments/edits/suggestions. Their team responded within 2 hours of every request. I was able to get the videos up and running on social media the next day. I would have never guessed that that caliber of video could be created using just an hour of filming. While the speed of this production was absolutely-incredible, I'd assume it would be very difficult to scale, but I mention it because it demonstrates the passion that Ben and his team have for providing world-class service to their clients. The videos were a huge positive for our campaign. It absolutely blew me away. They perfectly captured our vision and priorities. The engagement with my page, the average duration of the video(s) watched, the unique user reactions to the video, and both its paid and organic reach were something that I would have never thought possible for a video of my dorky self. We were able to succeed in the election, and I'm confident that Evolv's videos were a substantial factor in our victory. Thank you to Ben, Paul, Brennan and the rest of the Evolv team for your amazing work.

Nate was so patient, and great with the kids. He didn't put any pressure on them, and they actually were very responsive to him. He ended up getting a few really good family photos, as well as a variety of candid shots of the kids. He came prepared and definitely had creative vision, but also was very responsive to some ideas I had. Nate delivered the images to us in less time than he had quoted, and there is no complex pricing structure to getting the images. He truly made everything SO easy. We would definitely hire Nate again in the future.
