Then, I saw the price and I was like wow, one of the ones that I like the most is actually the most reasonable for a change. I thought that everything would go beautifully. Unfortunately, that is not how things went down. Jason, the videographer for my wedding, did a great job of being invisible. He captured all of the key moments. I felt like some of the decor shots could have been better but, overall, I was very pleased with what he captured. While the moments captured were nice, the quality was questionable. Even the website sample films looked grayed out and fuzzy. I noticed this, but I put it to the back of my mind in my pre-wedding euphoria. In retrospect, the video quality is not professional at all--the color is dark, there is a persistent gray haze and fuzziness over everything, even in bright sunlight. This is a question of equipment quality, which no amount of editing will fix. I would not make the same decision again based on this alone. Don't believe me? Look at his sample videos side-by-side with those of another videographer, and you'll see it. This is the HD age, and the videos do not even look as good as what you might get from still images from a cell phone. The problems came during the editing phase. I was well aware of the contract policy--1 hour of free revision, $50/hour subsequently. I don't expect anyone to work for free. Time is money. Well, ever notice how Silver Streak is the only one charging more for full-length videos than highlights. How does this make sense? The by-the-hour pricing is completely abused from the time you get your first cut. This way, the final price of the highlights video comes out to around the same as the full-length or more. Why so many edits? You tell me. My ceremony was well under an hour, yet the unity candle ceremony was not in my highlights video. We only had 7 people in our bridal party, yet not all of them appeared in the video. My brother escorting my mom down the aisle was absent. What was there were 3 shots of the cake table, 2 or 3 shots of the table décor, and a horrific clip of my dress hanging lifelessly in front of what looked like the door to a preschool classroom. The father-daughter dance clip was two seconds, none of it with my dad dipping me or spinning me, and he did an awesome job of making his dance very cinematic. It was fun, not just dancing around in a boring, endless circle. Why were these things curiously absent? It's elementary, you see--remember the $50/hour charge. Mike was not trustworthy in the end. He left out key moments intentionally, forcing you to buy more revision time. That is the story behind those videos that you do not see. Unfortunately, he was just out to take advantage of the wedding euphoria. You want the perfect video and you'll pay for it, whatever the cost.

Denise Hood, the owner of Creative Juices, worked for me for approximately five years…read more Unfortunately, due to what I believed to be her inability to keep her southern-bred politics out of the professional space, we parted ways in a not so amicable manner. Notwithstanding our unpleasant farewell, it would be unfair to characterize Ms. Hood's work as subpar. On the contrary, over the years I have been quite impressed with the work products of Creative Juices. Ms. Hood, in my view, is one of the most knowledgeable experts in social media and marketing in the country! I found Ms. Hood to be very hardworking, honest, and responsive. I greatly value the work that Creative Juices completed for me. The aforementioned sentiments are entirely in keeping with previous review comments that I have offered in support of Creative Juices. I simply, at the time, chose not to express my growing discomforts with Ms. Hood's perceived ideology. It seems to me that there are two types of "clients" when it comes to hiring a social media professional -- the client who cares only about whether the social media professional has the technical expertise to get the job done; and the client who, in addition to expecting technical expertise, also cares about the quality of the overall experience. I fall in the latter category. Solely on the question of technical proficiency, I would give Ms. Hood the highest possible score. I truly think she is one of the best technical experts in the field! However, on the basis of what I perceived to be Ms. Hood's failure to separate her political ideology from her professional role, I would not rate my experience with Creative Juices very high. Thus, my overall rating of three stars. Actually, my 3-star rating is quite gracious, as has been my accolades in this review. In addition to my frustrations with Ms. Hood's perceived ultra-conservative ideology, which is her right to hold, I did not cite here the supervision time I invested pointing out sloppy work (in my view) on occasion. I wish to keep this review as positive as possible. Yet I anticipate a strong defensive reaction from Creative Juices, as opposed to introspection. That would be consistent with my experience whenever I tried to point out errors to the owner. Quite frustrating, though I will not downgrade to a "2-star" rating. I wish to be as fair as possible. I am grateful for all that Ms. Hood and Creative Juices did for my office over nearly five years. I wish her company much success in the future, though I will not be returning to this company as a client. Shenandoah Titus, Esq.
