Waters / Water Tree Media - Video/Film Production Near Me - Long Beach, California

Megan was able to take care of all the details even though she only had 2 days to prepare for my Mother's zoom funeral. Megan was the most professional, organized and thorough business person I have ever worked with. She knew exactly what I needed before I knew I had a need. She was in constant communication with me and allowed me to relax and be in the moment. I truly felt I was in excellent hands during the entire time and the final product was outstanding. Megan is kind, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. I will absolutely look for many other opportunities to work with her again and again and again. read more

Product pictures are extremely difficult pieces to capture but Water Tree Media did such a phenomenal job! We gave them 8 products that we had no idea how to take pictures of and not only did they deliver amazing photos, they provide different file sizes for web and print purposes, properly label everything, and provides you with information for photo tagging! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an expert behind the camera. read more

Unprofessional, No Customer Service or Compassion, and Incompetent Based on my family's experience using Waters Tree Studios to live stream our father's funeral so that friends and family can be part of the service, given Covid limits on in person attendance, and Waters incompetence in handling the job, and unprofessional attitude after the screw up, I would not recommend using Waters. The entire experience was very troubling and put more emotional stress on us then we should have had to endure. In short, they screwed up the live stream of our father's funeral by failing to have sound during most of it, failed to quickly ascertain and fix the problem, gave excuses that made no sense (blaming wifi but the video streamed fine), and failed to be responsible and professional about rectifying the problem and making things right professionally. They did NOT even seem to care that I was going to post negative reviews and send letters to most major cemeteries and mortuaries in Southern California about our experience and recommending they not use Waters. Most professionals would have bent over backwards to "make things right" with a customer. At least 2/3 of the live stream of the service (50 min out of the 1 hr 20 minutes of the service) had no sound. Namely most of the eulogies etc. People were posting live comments asking about the sound almost immediately. It was at least 10 minutes into the service before Waters even acknowledged via a post that they were working on it. Again and again people complained and Waters kept saying they were working on it. 50 minutes worth of trying to fix it! Obviously, they did not check the sound before going live, nor were they listening and checking during the service, nor were they competent enough to quickly figure out what the issue was and quickly fix it (or have a backup). Since we were giving our eulogies and participating in the service, we did not know there was a problem with the sound until the end of the service when Waters approached us and said they had a Wi-Fi issue where the sound dropped out a few times. Like it was no big deal. Ok a little sound here and there. Seemed understandable. But later I learned there was no sound for most of the funeral. I immediately called her and left a VM. She responded that she was at another event and would upload the recording later. (later? I would have done whatever it took to get it uploaded immediately. she had remote wifi after all). Throughout the afternoon we got messages, emails or spoke to friends and family very disappointed that they could not be part of the service. We told them that Waters would be posting the recording with sound soon. And despite her saying she would get the video with sound posted, 7 hours later, when I returned home and checked, it was not posted. I texted her and she said she was still working on it and would upload it soon. Working on it? And then when she posted it about an hour later, it was at another URL (she said it was a Youtube issue). I had to ask her to put a link on the original URL, which she did but I have to say but for my looking for it I would not have seen it. Given it was now almost 10pm, we did not send everyone the new link till the next day. Normally, one would not live stream a funeral. Nor would you hire a videographer to record it for posterity. But Covid, with the limitations on in person attendance and friends and family scattered across the country and not being able to travel, makes a live stream of a funeral the only way to share the experience and support the family in such an emotional time. But to Waters, the failure was no big deal. Did they immediately upload the recording with sound? Nope. 8 hours later they did. Did they post during the live stream an apology to all? No. Did they post any kind of apology or give us one we could send out to everyone? No. Did they offer a refund or partial refund. No. Did they do anything to make it right other than hours later posting the recording to a different webpage with a link on the original webpage that I only saw because I was looking for it? Nope. They seemed to think the fact they were recording it, like the weddings they do, and they could post it later with the sound would be the solution . They were engaged to do a LIVE stream. Recording it for posterity was not the intent. Nor do people watch funerals over and over years later. Waters might be competent at recording a wedding for posterity, but I would not count on them for anything live, nor for them to be professional if they screw up. read more

I have used the Water Tree Media studio for a couple different photo and video projects and wouldn't hesitate to use it again.  The owner Megan is easy to work with. The studio is beautiful space, with lovely natural light from the giant windows on the north wall. It's well equipped with soft boxes that hang from the ceiling and can be mounted on many different light stands they have available. The space is always clean and organized. They have a full kitchen and counter space the comes in handy during long shoots. There are multiple client areas with couches, wifi, and large monitors. Everything to keep you and your clients happy. Another big plus is that there is plenty of parking and its in a nice area, not in like other studios that are tucked away in the warehouse districts. Its also close to many different food options for when lunch rolls around. This is affordable and flexible space for both photo and video needs and Megan is great. read more

I had the pleasure of experiencing Water Tree Media's photo booth at a recent holiday party! It was the best photo booth I've ever used! The booth itself was beautiful, clean, and easy to operate. It also comfortably fit 4 people with room to squeeze in a 5th if you wanted! The props were all in good shape, fun and festive, with both goofy/funny and fun/pretty options. The pictures came out beautifully. You could both get a copy right away and they were texted or emailed digitally to you immediately as well so you could share on social media or download! One of the coolest features was a big TV screen outside the booth showing the pictures being taken so that onlookers could see the pictures too! It was pure entertainment for everyone! I highly recommend Water Tree Media for your next party! read more

Megan is awesome! Polite, timely and professional. She puts her heart and expertise into her work to ensure that her clients receive an outstanding product.

Our son lives in LA and he plays in a band at his firm where they do a fundraising event each year. We always try to go and watch the event. We were not able to attend this year, but did not want to miss their performance. Water Tree Media was referred to us and they have been a joy to work with. Megan is awesome and very flexible. She understood exactly what I wanted to achieve. I very specifically wanted the raw footage so the husband could make our own edited video for family sharing. They had three cameras and they gut us great footage!! Almost as good as being there in person. I have added them to my address book and will definitely use them for future events. Valorie read more

I found myself in need of professional but creative photos that I could use for my website, blog, etc. Not knowing where to begin, I sought help from Water Tree Media. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was for them to capture photos that were professional and yet engaging. Water Tree understands the importance of media and the many ways it can be used to promote a business. I didn't just get great photos from this experience, I also got excellent coaching in what types of shots to use in different situations. I am beyond pleased with the outcome and I know I'll be working with them again. If you need professional photo or video, I am confident you won't find better than Water Tree Media. read more

We are so pleased that Water Tree Media helped us with our Real Estate video. They made our listing look so beautiful... it really brought our listing to life.

I love this little Gem of a studio tucked away in Huntington beach. Great space and wonderful staff! I rented it out to have my headshots done for theatre and the studio worked great for our needs. Plenty of lighting equipment to use. If you want to shoot with natural light this space Is perfect with its large windows. I definitely recommend this studio! read more
