I have Art Directed well over 30 different shoots at Ave. Six Studios over the years and have used…read moreall of the standing sets, their backlot, and installed partial and entire sets at the facility. From a design perspective, Ave. Six offers me the ability to created unique designs for my clients by providing what I call a "great foundation" to build on. For example, the wood plank floor in the East Stage would cost $1000's of dollars to install in a raw stage. By installing sets on this ready made floor, I can put my clients art budget towards other design elements more critical to their project. This also holds true for larger sets when I need to incorporate their standing set walls into my designs. Ave Six has great logistics (location, parking, truck space, easy load-in) They also have an exceptionally accommodating and wonderful staff whose goal is to help productions in their work, not hinder them. For example, on my last shoot there I was allowed to use Ave. Six backdrops in my designs from one of their stages not rented by the production company because it wasn't booked by anyone else. Ave. Six Studios is a great, unique stage facility and an invaluable resource for Art Directors looking to deliver the most for their clients. I would (and have many times) recommended them without reservation.

So overall if your looking for professional camera equipment...this is the place to be.

Have you ever felt the pressure of an impending deadline? Has your own livelihood ever depended on…read morethe speed and efficiency of someone you don't even know? If you are ever in this bind again and your impossible mission has something to do with Media duplication, replication, authoring or even getting your demo reel edited and posted online for that next big audition, then pull yourself together and contact the folks at Lightning Media. When I say they do it all, I mean it. They are a true full service facility that can handle damn near any post-production or multi-media need. In almost five years of utilizing their services I have NEVER been done wrong. And trust me; I've given them ample opportunity to mess things up. So on Friday my boss calls me at the end of the day and tells me to get a project dubbed on DVD...what me worry? Then he calls back just a bit later and tells me to "make it 100 copies and make sure you get them delivered by Tuesday, I'll send you a list of recipients" OK, by this time it's 6pm. That means I got til 4:30pm Monday to pick up a finished product and stuff who knows how many FED EX envelopes and make the East Coast deadline by 6pm. I was seriously looking at my phone sideways as he's telling me all this. Of course, I'll need to put custom artwork on the DVD's, and of course the person with the artwork needs to re-format it first. Naturally, I have a crazed look in my eye as I head out the door with product minus artwork. I walk into Lightning Media and they're packed (was there any doubt at this point?). I explain my mission to the young lady and then tell her I absolutely need it completed by Monday afternoon no if's and's or but's. She doesn't even flinch and then has me fill in the info on the work order. When she asks me if I'd like any artwork added to the DVD's I answer "yes, but I don't have it yet." Like a zen warrior she picks up a phone, mumbles something and then asks if I can have it by tonight... "of course" I reply. "Then it's no problem" she re-assures me. Dutifully, I verify that our artwork was emailed in by 7:15pm that evening. Later that night my phone rings at 10:52pm from a number I don't recognize. I cautiously answer, "hello". It's Lightning Media, I can come by at noon on Saturday to pick up my order. And just like that, my impossible mission is accomplished. Yes, there are cheaper facilities in town, but would you pay just a tad more for peace of mind? I would, and if my ass is on the line I want someone who scoffs at the impossibility of silly little mission's like my own.

I've worked with Lightning Media for a very long time when I was working for production companies…read moreand networks.

Octofilms is an excellent professional company for getting aerial footage via a drone. They…read moreactually have a number of drones they choose from depending on the specific job. I hired them for my work to get some shots around the city; a smaller and more stealthy one was chosen for the job to attract minimal attention. Size did not matter as far as imagery. The video was high quality (4K) and the skill of the drone operator and video camera operator were of exceptionally high quality. The video was smooth in movement (both flight and camera moves) and I was extremely pleased with the results. Shane and Jen were a delight to work with. They went the extra mile to make me, the customer, happy. Communication with them was clear & easy and their talent and symbiotic relationship in operating the system led to us finishing ahead of schedule - how often does THAT happen? Prices were very competitive and they adhere to a high level of ethics and safety. I highly recommend them if you are in need of aerial video.

If you have any videography needs, especially aerial cinematography needs, you can rely on Octofilms!!

I heard good things about this company from my various film industry contacts. I was really hoping…read morethat it was the case but unfortunately the experience with this sales lady was so bad that it motivated me to write a bad review (which I have never written before..) I dealt with a sales lady at event department for my event. It was a rather simple request for a price quote with a few legitimate inquiries. After three calls and two emails she did not respond. Usually production supply rental company responds with price quote fairly quickly, a lot of times within a few hours. After one entire week I called and asked about the price quote, she never even bother to apologize and simply said my computer has been down. Then she promised to send me a quote the next day but failed to do it. It's been a few days since and still no quote!! It's just unbelievable to think that top Hollywood production vendor would allow this kind of behavior to their employee. I would like to think it's just that sales lady who is an exception..

Horribly inaccurate lead times on items. I was trying to make a few end of year purchases as a…read morewrite off for my business and was referred to Abel by a friend of mine who had been doing business with them for years. It felt like every camera I wanted to buy I wouldn't be able to take delivery of by the end of the year so I made some compromises in order to get something from these guys. Even after being told my cameras should ship they were delayed and I missed deadline after deadline. At one point I even had to have them redirect my shipments to the 4 Seasons where I was staying on holiday in an attempt to actually take delivery of what I bought and they still didn't deliver. Incomplete shipments, incorrect shipments, and here I am months later and I'm still dealing with trying to solve an order from December. The only star I can give to the folks at Abel was in their support department. The guy they had me working with, Jason, did help me put together the package I wanted even if I couldn't actually get what he was telling me to buy. He had a fast response time even if every time I talked to the guy he was telling me things were delayed or he flat out didn't have them in the warehouse. I honestly don't know how this place does business since they never seem to have anything on the shelf and then after almost three months awaiting a lens that I tell them I don't want anymore they try to tell me that I have to keep it.

Usually within thirty min sometimes while you are right there! You get to choose which take you like best. Oh! I also love Brett and Joanne - as actors themselves they really care about making your audition look great so they will give little technical tips if needed that can help make the scene pop. I know I said I love love love -- but I had to add hat one more -- when you find a place that does the job right you gotta give the extra love ;-)
