(Note to volunteers - we love you, but if you can't finish what you start, then please go home and work on that skill first). Crushpix was willing to step in and fulfill some 'community service hours' - and by "some," I mean over 50. They finished the job beautifully, including shooting more footage where it was necessary. These people are extremely detail oriented - no frame is except from editing it might need. They are artists - I found they were always thinking critically about how the final viewers will consume the video and adjusting it accordingly, sometimes with astonishing technical creativity. But more than that, they will not stop until they get it right. I never once felt like I had to "push" to get my video intense attention and quality control. At the same time, I was deeply respected and listened to the entire project through. And this whole experience was provided PRO-BONO. I wonder what paying clients get!!

We love our videos which introduce Spring Fertility and help illustrate how we approach egg freezing and infertility. We've received many compliments from our patients and from colleagues in the field. Everyone at Friday's Films was so wonderfully professional, collaborative, and dedicated in making sure our messaging was clear and videos beautifully shot and presented with the desired tone and voice. They were so careful in addressing what can be sensitive topics and incorporating our feedback while being mindful of patient privacy and crafting the right narratives and stories through all the editing in post. Perry, David, Roger, Vanessa, Rosie, and everyone at Friday's - thank you so much for all your your hard work! It was so great working with you - we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend -- good people, skilled in their craft.

There are so many independent videographers in the Bay Area, it's easy to go wrong with picking one. I feel very lucky to have found Kosmografia, and Erin Lee, early on. I wish I would have had the same luck with my website development! What makes Kosmo's so great? First off, they have excellent service, great at meeting deadlines, and promote competitive pricing. But what really makes them special is the creative force behind their leader Erin Lee. She not only shoots great video, she's a creative genius when it comes to knowing her subject and audience. She'll take how I like to be portrayed, exactly how I need to market to my demographic, and make it a reality with very little editing feedback necessary. She also excels at producing special effects and moving graphics with in the video. Did I also mention Erin has a wonderful way of producing humor on videos? I highly recommend giving her creative freedom. Check out the videos Kosmografia has created on our sfmixology site! You can't go wrong with them, their goal is to make clients happy - which I have been for many years. Thank you Kosmo! Shawn Director, SF Mixology, LLC

We produced something that required interpretation, creativity, focus and a lot of work in a very short period of time. Micha excelled on all fronts. His concept was unique.

I will most certainly hire Micha again. He's good at what he does -- and he's even a nice guy. :)

So, it sounds silly, but OMG!!!!!…read more I'd been thinking about a good quality music video for a long time, and found Triple Spiral Productions through some mutual connections in the Irish Music Scene. I saw one video and was completely blown away. This Video Production Company/ Director/ Filmmaker Crew is freaking briliant!!!! Not only did he take the time to map out storyboard narrative down to the last detail, but every part of the planning, filming, concept was so far and above any experience I could possibly have dreamed up for my video. This Company goes to such great lengths to get you exactly what you need that I was literally stunned by the quality of the final product. It's now a Telly Award Winning piece, and has been shown in front of more and broader audiences than I'd even thought. It's earned me domestic and international business as a performer, it's opened doors with venues and concert spaces everywhere and directly boosted CD sales both domestically and abroad. Note: Have a clear vision, and willingness to communicate everything you need as the project progresses, have integrity, present payment, and all of your end of the highly professional contract, and you will get the most amazing and effective film work you could imagine, (and in my case, even better). M. Dunston's professionalism with Triple Spiral Productions is without Parallel, and I can't recommend them highly enough. I would/ will go to Triple Spiral for all of my video work in the future, and you'd be foolish to go anywhere else if you want the best there is.

We contracted with Desire to Inspire Studios to develop a short (3-minute) promotional video for our fundraising, volunteer recruitment, media relations, and general support requirements. The DTIS team came to our large facility in Terra Linda, interviewed our program's co-coordinators, captured the wonderful interaction between the students and our volunteers, and the intense excitement of a school of third-grade students filling their book bags with ten free books to take home. Not only was this video exceptionally well produced, especially the visual and sound quality, but it captured the very essence of our all-volunteer nonprofit organization. I highly recommend any nonprofit or for-profit organization to explore a promotional video, or a longer video story, with the exceptional DTIS team. Bruce B.

I highly recommend checking this out - it's free and a great way to get a sense of what Retainer Media is capable! I never ended up having the time to make a video on my own, but instead hired Retainer Media to make the video for me. Benjamin is fantastic - he's creative, funny and a pleasure to work with. Retainer Media meets you where you are and gets the project done. I really appreciated that was willing to tell me what would make a good video, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. There were definitely some unfortunate hiccups in the video making process that were out of Retainer Media's control. They went above and beyond to make this right - even though it wasn't cheap for them to fix a lot the problems. Overall, I would highly recommend Retainer Media!

I met Tiffany on my search for a photographer to take photos for my fashion blog. After talking to Tiffany a few times via phone and text message, we finally got a time and date set to take pictures. When I arrived and met TR Proz, I was so happy we were working together. Tiffany was very opened with what I wanted on my blog. She took me to Merrit Lake in Oakland to take photos. The day we took photos was beautiful outside. There were several people walking around, probably hundreds. However, in the pictures you can't see one person. That really amazed me. During the photo shoot I had several outfit changes. Tiffany was patient and helped me out with my accessories and matching the perfect shoes. We spent about two hours taking pictures. She got some amazing shots. She was creative in her positioning of the pictures and certain angles. The shoot ended and she said that she'd get back to as soon as possible with proofs. A few days later she sent me several pictures from the shoot. They were great! She did such a great job with the photos and the editing. My family and friends saw the pictures and they loved them. I'm looking forward to working the TR Proz again. I'd highly recommend!
