Pollution Studios

Who better to give my first review to than Atomic Studios. I have used them on 5 different…read moreproductions now and I couldn't ask for a more helpful or accommodating location to shoot at. Phil and Daniel go above and beyond to make sure that your shoot is a success. Not only is the huge studio space equipped with awesome equipment, but it's an extremely comfortable environment to work in. They never put pressure on you to hurry up and get out, or charge you more for each piece of equipment you use, or have strange fees popping out of nowhere. What you get charged is exactly what they say you'll be charged. As a independent producer, having no hidden fees is exactly what I need to hear! This studio has a HUGE pre-lit green screen, and HUGE white cyc, tons of flats, fabric, props, set dressing, state of the art equipment...the whole works. It really can be a one stop shop if you know how to shoot in a studio. You get a free build day, and a full 24 hours to shoot on your shoot day. So even if you want to bring in a build team and then bring in your full crew after, you have plenty of time and don't feel like you're getting charged by the hour. I'll post some photos from some of my shoots if anyone is interested in seeing what can be done there. It can be completely transformed into so many different looks. If I need a studio, I always know who to call. The flexibility and relaxed vibe of this place makes it a no brainer. I'm a fan :)

Willow Studios

Villain's Tavern is HUGE on Yelp... so if you've been to Villain's and saw the large warehouse in…read morethe adjacent parking lot... then you have feasted your eyes on Willow Studios: a 100,000 sq foot warehouse-converted studio building. Willow Studios' website boasts and features photos of elaborate standing sets (this means sets which are already built-in and don't require set designers or set dressers-- think "pre-made") such as jail cells, kitchens, loft apartments, showers, etc; and also contends to having many props and furniture available for production use. Well... I was here for a very long music video shoot from 7pm-5am with multiple set-ups and since I had one of lead roles, I saw many aspects of the building and let me tell you: it is not like the website demonstrates. It IS very spacious and does have some of these standing sets but they are somewhat shabby and still require a set designer to spruce it up in a major way. The props and furniture are outdated, not matching, and basically just look like a garage or attic with old furniture. The "basement" standing sets which means the actual warehouse, is creepy and looks like the set of the "Saw" movies so it's great if you are seeking such production space. The ceilings however, don't provide proper set-ups for a lighting grid. It is very relaxed though and there isn't any studio personnel or up-tight folks trying to invade your shoot and boss people around. Willow is ultimately an abandoned warehouse building which you can rent out for your production at leisure. Plus, there is a Thai boxing studio on one of the floors, so you can always bust in on the class if you need an extra for a boxing scene.

I didn't get a chance to venture through probably even a quarter of the rooms because I'm certain that I would have gotten lost, died, and become an interesting fixture to the studio. I think the biggest pitfalls are that because there are so many sets, a couple of them are not quite up to par. And another issue which is only an issue in this generation, is that there is no cell or data services available in parts of the studio. This can sometimes hold production for a few precious minutes. Overall a wicked fun space with a lot of options and not a lot of supervision. Check it out for yourself.

My writing partner and I won a free day of shooting at TVE via the Hollywood Comedy Shorts Fest. When Danny Davalos, the manager, gave us a tour, one of the 1st things he said was: "Tell me about your film and what I can do to help." This sincere desire to help us realize our vision, and Danny's follow-through that backed it up several times, is what puts this place several notches above being just a top tier professional facility. One of the selling points for getting cast/crew to work pretty much for free was the fact that we were filming in an actual sound stage. Our DP had shot there before and was happy to do so again. Now that we've shot there, we feel the same way. Also, Danny spins great tunes while the crew sets up/breaks down equipment, so thumbs up for musical tastes as well.

Long Haul Films

I met Tom and Melissa from Long Haul Films when we photographed a wedding at the Fairmont Copley…read morePlaza together last October. In a world of in-your face videographers I was immediately impressed with their unobtrusiveness and professionalism. I often see wedding videos from my couples and they're kind of like moving versions of the still pictures but when I saw the trailer film that Long Haul had produced I was wowed. It perfectly complimented the still pictures. I know a lot of couples are on the fence about getting a wedding film but I think if you see one of Long Hauls films not only will it tell the story of your day there's something about having footage of yourselves, parents, grandparents actually moving and talking. I would mortgage my house to have this kind of film of my grandparent's wedding day, this is a perfect investment for future generations. With all of that said, I have been thinking about doing some kind of promotional film for my photography business and so I approached Tom and Melissa about my initial ideas. They were a dream to work with. I went back and forth about a bunch of things and our schedule kept changing but they were endlessly cheerful, provided me with so much great information and helped me make a number of big decisions about what to include. Melissa conducted the interviews with my past wedding clients and she has a gift for making people feel at ease and drawing out little stories. When I saw the raw footage I was blown away. I will admit the control-freak part of me wondered how they would possibly edit it all down to tell the best story however I figured I would have complete trust. I've just seen the finished films (one main one and a number of smaller vignettes) and I am in awe. The lighting is superb, the editing is perfect, the color fantastic, the sound/music just right but most importantly Long Haul have perfectly encapsulated the message I wanted to tell my future clients. I couldn't recommend them highly enough for wedding or commercial work. I've had the pleasure of working with them on both types of film and they are just brilliant.

We cannot recommend Tom and Melissa highly enough! They really captured the day, particularly what…read morethe photos can't capture, the audio from the vows and the speeches. They both have a terrific eye for light and form, and are very talented in the editing room (knew to get rid of a couple cringe-worthy moments I'd prefer not to remember :) We have a short "trailer" and a fully edited DVD with the events from the whole day complete with audio and music. Everything is edited to tell the story of the day - weaving between the two parties getting ready - the venues, ceremony, cocktails and the reception. The video is perfectly timed, and somehow concise, while capturing the weight of the whole day. It leaves you satiated yet wanting more - and never wanting to fast forward. We were hesitant to use a videographer - we didn't want to feel like we were being followed by paparazzi (not exactly my element). The day of we barely noticed them (no big spotlights or awkward interviews). A couple months after the wedding they sent us our cut to review. The spirit, laughter and the emotions of the big day were perfectly captured - we both got choked up at a few parts (and still do - again and again). I can honestly say we'll watch our wedding video on our anniversary every year. It was one of the best decisions I made planning. It's absolutely worth it.

My uncle brought a big ass camcorder to my brother's baptism in 1991, and all of us were fascinated by the camera and had never seen one before. It's the only recording of my brothers and I as children and of my dad who has since passed away. When I started hearing about VHS digitizing services, I was super reluctant to mail the only copy to a stranger, especially after how many stories there are about these people losing photos or videos. I started seeing Z Stories advertise in my neighborhood Facebook groups and with tables at local Burbank events. I loved that they were local, I didn't have to ship my video far away, and the reviews were impeccable. I texted the owner, John, to find out more about their services and he seemed more than happy to take an order of just one tape. He gave me different options for submitting the tape (they even deliver and pick up locally!) and I ended up dropping the tape off at A Express Mail in Burbank, for Z Stories to pick up. When we had tried the tape on our VCR at home, the sound cut in and out and there was static and blue squares over a lot of the picture. I was worried that maybe I'd waited to long to digitize a 35-year-old tape before it deteriorated. John picked the tape up within an hour of me dropping it off and texted me with updates and questions (like whether we wanted to keep the football documentary that had been taped over!) and the finished product was ready within 24 hours! He met me at A Express the next day and seemed excited to show me the finished product on his laptop. I was ASTONISHED at how amazing the video looked. The quality looked even better than I remembered the original video looking in the 90s, and both the picture and sound were crisp and clear. I was completely blown away at how they were able to make the recording look so great. These are experienced professionals who obviously take pride in their work and care very much about helping people to preserve their irreplaceable memories. The total cost was only $17 because they provided a flash drive (if you provide your own, it's only $10.) We are going to use Z Stories to digitize all my in-laws' home movies, and I would wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone.

Pollution Studios is a place where you feel creatively inspired, both by the facility itself and their crew and services-- they understand production. Furthermore, they can provide everything you will need to get the job done. Pollution studios gives creatives at any level an equal opportunity to express themselves freely and the project always wins in the end. Additionally, there are no negative surprises, only positive. They agree to a deal and stick with it. They also go above and beyond the terms which you expect and transform them into expectations, which they exceed. I will be going back to Pollution Studios every chance I get, and this having worked in what are considered some of the finest facilities the world over. There is a reason you will not find any negative reviews, find out why yourselves, your production will be thanking you. read more

Within the time of meeting these additional teachers, the way they teach may not be aligned with your demo coach so it's almost like you paid extra for nothing and the small time you have for the $175 you pay PER SESSION isn't enough for you to get to know these additional coaches for proper training. It's all a money grab. Unless you have a few extra $200 to spend PER EXTRA NEEDED SESSIONS, because the THOUSANDS you paid for your demos will never be enough time to get properly trained, you're just throwing money away.

The lady, Maria was initially nice and helpful on the phone when I called, but she was perturbed when the other salesperson asked her to help me and snapped at him, telling him and me that she has to be at her desk to process orders and cannot be at the reception desk all the time(yellow flag #1 for me). I asked her a few questions and emailed her my files but didn't hear from them for a couple days until I called them(another yellow flag... but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt again...). I needed this printed within a week or so but when I called and asked, she couldn't give me a completion date. Instead, she told me "I was in the queue" which could mean 3 days or one week(?). When I sent her the files, she sent a proof showing all 4 images were 2ft w x 4 ft h, which is what we ordered. All 4 images shown on her proof were the same size. However, when I picked up the final product, one banner had a white border, which was NOT shown in her proofs. When I explained the border was not in the proof she sent, she said it was not her fault and that she just sends the images and "uses the file I send and does not alter it." However, based on the images she sent in the proof, ALL banners WERE THE SAME SIZE. I get it. My file was wrong, but that's why a proof is sent to the client, so the client can review and catch any issues before printing. Proofs are for clients to review and if there was a border in the file, it should be shown to the client. I would not have approved it if her file showed the border. She also argued the proof is only for color and writing. However, her proof agreement does not say it's only for color and writing. When I explained her proof is incorrect, she tried to sway me by saying the product "looks good with the border" and that "no one would notice". Really? You've got to be kidding me. The four banners are made as a set. It is noticeable if one is different. She told me she could reprint it but would have to charge me. What absolutely terrible customer service!Yes, the file was not correct. However, she "copied" it on the proof showing all sizes were the same and misled me (contrary to the argument that she does not edit my file!) and I received an unsatisfactory product. Had she copied "as is", it would have shown one banner to be slightly smaller than the other 3. And then to argue with the customer was the nail on the coffin for me! You're better off using an online site. Unfortunately, I have to give a bad review based on my experience which overshadows a good product with the 3 other banners. I was really hoping to find a new printing company we could use for all our signage needs, one I could trust and have a good business rapport with. But I will never use them again and don't recommend them to anyone.
