    Bill Bentley Productions is a unique and extraordinary resource in the Bay Area! Bill is a seasoned…read moreprofessional who is highly skilled and knowledgeable about music recording and production. He is multi-talented as a musician and is creatively innovative with the ability to know exactly what a song needs to bring it to excellence. Best of all Bill is colaborative and easy to work with. As a novice I came to him with a dream project of making an album. His kind attention to detail, respectfull patience and sensitive ability to nurture emotion out of a song is a rare quality in the business. His studio is a welcoming and supportive environment that cannot help but create a product that is both high quality and heartfelt.

    I have been recording with Bill for years now. He's amazing! He really listened to what I wanted…read morefor what I needed to bring my musical compositions to life! He's speedy and efficient, and really knows his way around any instrument. I'm truly amazed when we work together with his ingenuity. I tell him I need a certain instrument and bam, he pulls it up and knows how to use it to its best ability. He is also very reasonable with pricing, being $80 dollars an hour. I know it sounds like its a lot, but the amount of work that gets done in that hour is a lot. He's a built-in one man band, though he also has a lot room at his disposal in case you have a band, and can make a drum beat, play guitar, base, mandolin, and pretty much anythng else you need to complete your work. I'm truly happy with his work, and will continue to keep coming back to complete my album.

    I debated whether I wanted a videographer for our wedding for quite a while. I didn't want to drop…read morea ton of money on a short music video as a lot of other companies advertise because I preferred something less "cinematic"/was looking for more of a "documentary/authentic style" of the highlights and ceremony. Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn't feel like you're on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I'd highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!

Graham is very responsive and easy to work with. The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special. Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch. Thank you so much Graham!!

    Jason and his team shot our wedding in August 2021. From initially reaching out in 2019 to the day…read moreof the wedding, Jason was very responsive, accommodating, and professional. We appreciated how level-headed and calm Jason and his 2nd shooter, Jeremy, were on our wedding day despite us falling behind schedule and so many things going wrong. They were so professional and made sure we got the shots we wanted. There were two specific shots we wanted and discussed with Jason and he made sure to capture them beautifully. The end result of our highlight video was beautiful and we can't wait to make it a yearly tradition to watch it on every anniversary. I also want to mention that we reached out to Jason to postpone our wedding twice. We only ended up postponing once (from 2020 to 2021), but Jason was so kind and understanding both times. He's just a real nice guy who's in this business for the right reasons - to capture a once-in-a-lifetime event that the couple will cherish for the rest of their lives. It's so refreshing to work with a wedding vendor that cares about delivering great service and a great product to their client instead of just seeing them as money bags. He was one of our favorite wedding vendors! Thank you Jason for capturing our special day and being so patient, kind, and accommodating throughout the whole process!

Jason was easy to work with, very patient and absolutely knew what he was doing from start to finish. His sense of direction made our wedding day run so smoothly and it came out beautifully in the video. We finally got the highlight video and OMG, they did an AMAZING job with the music selection we chose. We watched the video so many times as soon as we received it and immediately shared with loved ones the final product. Thank you Jason for capturing our Wedding day. We praise you guys highly!!! To everyone! Don't hesitate and just hit them up already! You will not be disappointed. =)

I felt comfortable with them during the getting ready process, I did opt out of them coming to my parents home for the hair and makeup since we had the photographers there but they were able to get amazing footage at the venue of my mom and maid of honor buttoning up my dress etc. so I don't feel like we missed out on anything. Thank you so much for the amazing videos that will help us relive the most amazing day whenever we want.

    Finding the perfect videographer was one of the toughest vendors for us to nail down. I must have…read morewatched over a hundred different wedding videos before finally asking my friend who she used. That's when she introduced me to Eisen from Lumitone. He was great to work and communicate with, made booking and paying easy, and was very reasonably priced. On the day of our wedding, Eisen and his buddy showed up on time and worked hard all day to capture every moment. When we got our video, we were absolutely speechless. It was edited so well - from the music to the speeches with seamless transitions - it perfectly summarized our wedding day in under 8 minutes. I love it so much and every time I watch it I'm so touched and floored by how amazing our video turned out. Of all our wedding vendors, Lumitone is one I have zero regrets booking and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer. Thank you Eisen and Lumitone for giving us the best wedding video we could ask for and letting us relive our big day over and over again!

    Do not hire Blue Lotus Films for your filming needs!!…read more I hired Blue Lotus Films to make a professionally edited film of a live performance I created. The quality of the film they created was beyond unprofessional. Sarah, the lead of this company, even admitted to me in emails that some of the footage from the videographers she subcontracted was below professional standards. To name a few issues with the video: -whole parts of songs are cut off -bows and speech at the end are missing -there is shaky footage throughout whole video where it jumps off the stage and into audience, audience's heads cutting off what's happening on stage (one of the videographers was videoing "hand-held" instead of on a steady tripod) -there are misaligned end credits with incorrect titles (e.g. "production" instead of "cast) -there are black spots in the video where it goes blank -the sound file was misaligned with video in certain parts -different color/lighting from the 2 cameras that were being used (one is dull and one is bright) -there are missing key parts of the show that I requested ahead of time to capture (both on the phone and in writing) - because of this lack of following direction, there was only 1 camera shooting for about a third of the show. -corrupted files which meant that end of show was completely cut off. After all this, I requested a refund, as the footage was completely unusable, and Sarah refused. Terrible business ethics. If you want a professional video and to work with someone ethical, find another company.

    Sarah is an awesome videographer and even more amazing person!…read more We worked a couple of times on different projects and she is easy to work with which makes it an overall great experience! Reasonable prices and excellent quality work! I highly recommend!

She was going to a school in Lafayette that was way…read moremore expensive and i don't know if she was as challenged there :) Now she is challenged and she is watching Youtube channels on piano on her own! She used to complain about going to piano and now she loves it. we love Village Music!

    I've been a student with Village Music School for numerous years. Firstly, It's important to note…read morethat every instructor will teach differently from another, and so a student may thrive with one instructor, but not quite as much with another. So far, all of the instructors I've been with--4 or 5 thus far--have been good. As is to be expected, I didn't "click" with some of them, but I still learned and progressed. So if you don't "click" with an instructor, there's always the option of switching. Do give them a fair chance though; I can attest that I feel all of my previous instructors were good teachers, simple each with their own strong suits and personalities. The instructor I'm with as of now is Kyler Svensgaard, and the lessons are very productive and enjoyable. My goals are focused on classical music in piano, and he's been very responsive in helping me progress in this direction. He may bring up specific aspects of my practical playing to improve on or theory applicable to the piece(s) at hand, which I feel is of much value. And, if there's a new piece I'm trying to learn, we're able to readjust our plans accordingly. Lastly, the recitals at Village Music School are a fun way for students to demonstrate their hard work, progress, performance of their favorite songs. Over the years, I've participated in a few of those recitals and have good memories of each of them (despite my moments of stage fright, haha). All-in-all, my experiences with Village Music School have been positive, and, soley from a learning perspective, I would recommend them to anyone interested in musical lessons.
