I was extremely pleased with the work that Big Dog Little Bed Productions did for my bachelorette festivities and bridal shower. Janice was wonderful to work with and successfully captured all the great moments of the weekend in a non-discreet way that didn't make you feel like there was always a camera on you. She made everyone feel comfortable and I was amazed at all the great shots she got when I watched the film. She was also extremely quick in getting the video done and I had a final video within three days of the event which I was amazed by. Her artistic style perfectly captured these important events and I have found it is just the right length to send to friends and family who shared the weekend with me or who weren't able to be there and it made them feel part of the fun. I have watched it numerous times since receiving it less than a week ago. She will be filming our wedding and I can't wait to see that video. I highly recommend using Big Dog Little Bed Productions for your special events. read more

Janice and her team with BDLB were incredible. From the very beginning you can tell that Janice has a passion for this. On the big day her team captured what felt like every single detail.... WITHOUT feeling like they were in the way. I barely even noticed that they were there! Brides, if you are anything like me, you remember going to weddings when you were younger while some older gentleman walked around with a 75 lb camera on his shoulder asking everyone if they had "any advice for the happy couple?" ..... This is NOT that. Janice and her team are so talented, they made our day in to a movie that we can relive and replay over and over again. Not only for us but for our family. Without a doubt, hands down, hiring Big Dog Little Bed was the best decision we made for the entire wedding. So many details go in one day. One. Do yourself a favor and capture it permanently. read more

Janice and Big Dog Little Bed have so far made 2 fantastic Instabrands for my businesses. Before she comes in with her expertise and her cameras she had me fill out a questionnaire about what my business is about, what excited me about my business, what did I want to make sure the camera captures..... From the questionnaire she created questions to ask while filming to draw out my knowledge, my interests, my expertise. I was nervous, and all tongue tied for the first Instabrand, and she was still able to create a super great 90 second video that explains my work and my philosophy on teaching the Alexander Technique. The second Instabrand was just plain FUN to make. It was for my yoga studio, she full on captured the spirit of my little piece of heaven on Earth called Ashtanga Yoga Club Durham, and yes there are dogs in my little heaven on Earth. read more

Early in Big Dog/Little Beds career, we were fortunate enough to have them capture our daughter's wedding. While the day can be hectic and overwhelming (just as much for the MOB as it is for the bride!), I can honestly say that the video representation gave me a wonderful view of the day, where so much happened, it was easy to miss highlights. This will forever remain my vision of the event, the videographer was always in the background, the shots were memory invoking, and whenever I hear the music, I go immediately back in time to that day! I have watched it many times, where I can honestly say I have only looked at the album a couple of times. It is a living, breathing, emotional record of a treasured event in our lives. While I realize many can't imagine a wedding without a photographer, I can say that the video was more meaningful to me! read more

BDLB was an excellent choice to help us film our company's promotional video. This was our first professionally-shot video, and we had an idea of what we wanted, but Janice was able to take our vision and make it 10x better. She spent a lot of time with us on pre-production planning to make sure our days of filming went smoothly and captured everything we needed. After filming, Janice was able to take hours of footage and weave together a concise and captivating video that told our company story perfectly. The video was a huge hit with our employees and our customers. We are already planning to use Janice and her team for future videos! If you're considering hiring a videographer or production company for a corporate video, I would highly recommend Big Dog Little Bed. read more

Janice put together a beautiful video time capsule of my in-laws' love story in celebration of their 50th anniversary. She managed to flawlessly weave video footage of their anniversary party with interview footage she'd shot with my in-laws and all four of their adult children. The end result was a beautiful journey through 50 years of marriage (and a high school courtship!) that moved every single person in our family to tears. You never know how much time you'll have on this earth, so to be able to leave the legacy of your story to your children and grandchildren is truly a priceless gift. Our family can't thank Janice and her team enough for it. read more

Love these guys! They made us our first ever promotional video and we couldn't be more happy. It was obviously very important to Janice to capture what it is that makes our business special and she did just that. It was so neat to see our work through the eyes of someone else. From the initial meeting, to the filming, to the end product, Janice was a joy to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough if you're looking to give your business a special edge. We work in coworking, which can be a difficult business to market, but with our new video, we're confident that visitors to our website know exactly what it is we have to offer. Thanks, Janice! read more

Janice produced a Brand Story Film for my Brand Styling & Marketing Business, Sue Forrest Agency. Working with Janice was easy, comfortable and rewarding. She put me at ease in front of the camera and was able to capture just the right images and content to showcase my business most authentically. Everything was so down to earth and real. Potential clients looking to get a sense of what it's like to work with The Agency get just that, a real glimpse into the relationships we build with our clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Janice to other business owners looking to give potential clients a glimpse at what they offer. read more

BDLB Productions is absolutely amazing!!!! Janice gave us an incredible way to look back on the most special memories from our wedding day. She captured the most precious moments and put them together in such a unique and meaningful way. My husband and I could not be more pleased with how the video came out. We watch it all the time and I still get tears in my eyes. The music, the clips...everything about the video is flawless. Finally, words to describe BDLB: trustworthy, professional, well-managed, organized, timely, high-quality, INCREDIBLE! I could go on and on. I would HIGHLY recommend BDLB! Thank you!!!! read more

I recently attended (albeit virtually) a workshop put on by BDLB covering video content marketing. I am a small business owner of my lifestyle and wedding photography company. The information that she provided in the workshop on how to conduct brand marketing was insightful and really helpful and applicable. I feel more confident to actually put some of these suggestions into practice. Janice brought a great level of expertise to the subject, and I trust her knowledge in this area. She is an incredible resource and worth your investment- both in time and money. She is also just a really great person to hang with. read more

Janice and her team exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. They were prompt, professional and responsive-- if I wanted something captured on film, they got it. If something was running late, they were flexible. I never once felt like there was a camera around, they were discrete and out of the way. Best of all- my video is incredible and captures my wedding day absolutely perfectly. I could not have asked for a better product! Easily worth twice the amount she charges- the value is priceless!! I agree with a previous reviewer- I rarely look at my still photos, but I watch the video regularly! read more

BDLB did our wedding video 2 years ago and to say we were overjoyed with entire experience and end result is an understatement! Janice is amazing and super sweet and relatable! On the day of I didn't even notice she was there though so there was no camera shyness at all. Then while we waited for our video she sent us some screen shots which we totally loved and made us even more anxious for the video. Once we watched it, if I didn't know before I knew right then that my decision to make room in my wedding budget for video was soo worth it! I would highly recommend BDLB to any and everyone!! read more

Outstanding about sums it up! BigDogLittleBed productions was so professional. Janice was right on time, fully prepared and "did her homework" regarding our business. She floated around our shop as if she wasn't there. Caring for every detail that we had hoped for. I was in tears when we received our first draft, completely blown away with the final product. I would highly recommend BDLB for your business, wedding or any venue/project that you are hoping to tell your story. Sincerely, Michele Riggs (owner) DownTown Knits Apex, NC read more

The Big Dog Little Bed Production team is incredible. I worked with Janice on a series of school videos and she was so easy to work with. She let me know what she needed and then ran with the project! She also completely understood what the key messages that needed to be in the video -- great to work with someone who "gets" the education space. The entire experience -- from planning, to creating, to providing feedback on the final videos -- was so seamless. And the final product? SO SO good. read more

Working with Janice was an incredible experience. We were a very young company just starting out and were not able to clearly articulate the story we wanted to tell about our efforts supporting schools during COVID-19. Janice was able to gather a few hours of interviews from a handful of people and worked her magic. We were all incredibly impressed. You can see the finished product here: https://vimeo.com/477265704. We'd happily work with her again. read more

Janice exquisitely captured our wedding in an absolutely flawless highlight video. She caught so many special moments and glimpses into the scenery that we missed! She was not only our videographer, but became our close friend was part of our family that day. We cannot recommend BDLB enough, especially knowing her passion for animals and rescuing, we knew we had to work with her, there was no question! read more

Janice helped us create beautiful and thought-provoking content for a virtual event. She took time to research the topics and people we were highlighting to weave together a meaningful narrative that was carried though each of the 5 films throughout our event. She has a very good eye for stunning shots and is a fantastic storyteller. Do yourself a favor and have Big Dog Little Bed make your next film read more

Janice was great before, during, and after our wedding day. She met with us to discuss our vision beforehand, made us both feel super comfortable on the day of the wedding, and produced a video for us that we absolutely loved! We're so glad we had Big Dog Little Bed capture our wedding. We love looking back on our wedding day, and got so many compliments from our friends and family on our video! read more

I am such a fan of BDLB Productions - they create meaningful stories & present them beautifully. So when I found out that they were creating virtual workshops teaching about all things video, I jumped at the chance. Each workshop has been hugely valuable - clear, concise & actionable. I would encourage anyone to engage in their services / attend their workshops. read more
