Fantastic experience with Ian Stout at Vertica Productions! We created two video classes,…read more"Navigating the Nervous System" (90 min) and "Shifting Pain: The New Science of Pain and the Nervous System" (45 min). Ian made the experience as easy and low-stress as possible. He watched to make sure that my hair and clothing was arranged, made sure the audio quality wasn't interrupted by traffic sounds, and coached me on my delivery. Then during editing, he listened to my preferences and adapted to the pace and tone that I wanted for the class. We did some of the editing together so that I could have enough control, and then he did the vast majority of the tedious work on his own. He snipped "ums" and made me sound more eloquent. Along the way, he expressed appreciation and enthusiasm for the material - the fact that he valued what we created made it even more gratifying. Ian doesn't use Yelp so be sure to contact him at https://www.verticaproductions.com.

He quickly put all of the pieces together from my book of work and delivered an exceptional reel that is compelling and dynamic. He was so positive and patient, even during the revision stage. It's so difficult to find people in this industry who offer the complete package: excellent service, unsurpassed talent, and a great demeanor. Vertica Productions does it all and more. I'll be hiring them again in the future!

The team at Mosaic Studio is simply the best -- and I don't say that lightly…read more I've been in luxury real estate long enough to know that your photographer and videographer aren't just vendors -- they're brand partners. Tony and Alex get that completely. They bring creativity, professionalism, and genuine care to every shoot, and the results consistently reflect the quality my clients expect at this level. What sets them apart beyond the quality of their work? They take feedback without flinching. I've asked for changes -- including telling them the music in a video wasn't working for me -- and they pivot immediately, no defensiveness, no drama. That kind of collaborative flexibility is genuinely rare in a creative partner, and it makes the whole process feel effortless. This team has become an integral part of my business success, and I recommend them without hesitation. If you're a real estate agent who takes your brand seriously, stop overthinking it. Call Mosaic Studio. -- David Merrick | Realtor, Cascade Hasson Sotheby's International Realty

He figured all the angles out like a pro! He also brought some cool lighting that really spiced up our video! We did the same choreo in two different outfits. Rico had done a great job editing the videos and playing with angles that in the end we literally got two amazing videos! He also got those videos to us quickly! Thank you Rico for your professionalism, great communication and beautiful product. We are already thinking about our next project with you!

DO NOT HIRE CINEMAGIC STUDIOS! Cinemagic Studios are…read moretotally unprofessional, and should be called CINETRAGIC Studios. I have bought 6 videos from them and each one has been worse than the last. The videos, taken over the course of 3 years, all have the same dirt spots on the camera lens, with more spots each time, for he never bothers to clean it. Some of the spots are burnt out pixels, the same ones seen since 2008. He uses an old camera that goes all to pixels whenever anyone moves or the lighting is low. These videos waver drunkenly in and out of focus, and sometimes the picture is lost in pixels or fuzz. Several times the soundtrack has been a mess too. Cinemagic Studios won't put even one chapter in an over hour long video. The director of the event even diplomatically talked to him about the declining quality of the DVDs, and he was dismissive of her concerns. Apparently it isn't profitable enough for him to do a better job on these videos. I am required, if I want a keepsakes of the videoed events, to purchase videos from Cinemagic Studios. I do want a keepsake, but I cannot support this unprofessional hack who does such a shoddy job. I will never purchase another video from Cinemagic Studios again, because the quality of work is so poor and careless. I get very frustrated when I watch the videos, which is not how I want to feel about a keepsake. If Yelp offered no stars was an option, I would give that to Cinemagic Studios. If you care at all about your videos DO NOT HIRE CINEMAGIC STUDIOS. He will do a completely crappy job of photography with his grimy camera and then be rude to his customers when his DVD is of extremely poor quality and they dare to complain. Don't bother to contact him if the video is crappy, because if he gets the chance, he will pull some passive aggressive nonsense like sending out the next video really late or screw it up in some other way and leave the customer feeling ripped off, frustrated, and abused. There are plenty of better and more caring video companies in Portland, so don't waste your time of money on Cinemagic Studios. You have been warned. CINEMAGIC STUDIOS SUCKS!

Purchased a video of my kids dance production that cost me $30. My kids spent MONTHS preparing for…read morethis showcase and did an amazing job, as did their friends. Our family doesn't live in state so rather than have them all fly in to watch the showcase in person I suggested we pass the DVD along from family member to family member and each could express their joy over the phone. Boy, did that plan backfire! Got the video in the mail today and was so excited to stick it in the player and watch. Not only are there spots on the camera lens (that get larger as the picture zooms in) but the quality is so incredibly poor that you can't make out a single face. At times the camera connection seems to break up a bit and the sound quality is that of an old casset tape. I'm so incredibly disappointed. I've seen productions on film in this same kind of lighting so I know it is possible to achieve a good quality recording. Overall, I'm bummed they wont let parents film because the only memory we are left with after all their hard work is a useless video.

I've been a client of Thot Communications for over 9 years. I'm ashamed that I'm just now giving…read morehim a Yelp review. During that time I've been personally taken care of by the Owner and Creative Director Jim Allison. He is one of the easiest people I've ever worked with in any industry - ever. His prices are fair and I'm sure he routinely puts in more hours than estimated just to avoid raising the price. He really wants to get it done right and on time. He even plays nice with other designers and creative professionals! I can't tell you how much that means in an era when doing those basic things well is so rare for businesses. He knows his stuff and has designed some amazing things for me and the companies I've worked for. I've bought just about everything a guy can from Thot Communications: Brand and Logo Development; Business Cards; Stationary Designs; Brochures (sometimes, very fancy and complicated ones); catalogs; websites (yes, websites); Online art elements; clothing designs; food packaging; shipping boxes; mailing campaigns; art directing photo and video shoots; movie presentations; email campaign designs; did I miss anything? I like to try to leave some critique on my reviews so that they can be objective and useful, but I can't think of anything that would warrant it. I'm happy with my 5-star rating above! Basically, if you're looking to work with a designer who can just about do anything and doesn't have an ego, then this is the one.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dan since the mid 1990's, working side by side and have also used/worked with Video Media services since about 1997. I can safely say, with his 25+ years experience behind the camera and editing video back when it was VIDEOTAPE, he and his staff definitely knows his stuff! Not only that, but he's a nice guy, great drummer (in case you didn't know, he's the drummer for Portland's own Dan Reed Network) and one funny guy! If you need video production that is top notch and want to work with someone professional and creative, yet fun and forward thinking, I would definitely recommend Dan Pred and Video Media for your video production needs. I always look forward to working on a communications or video project when I know Dan is in the mix! Thanks again Dan.
