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.

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.

Ehsan's ability to identify setting, tone, and duality of elements really elevated the entire experience. He has a keen eye for detail and an intuitive sense of timing that made every shot feel natural and effortless. Whether it was the perfect lighting or the subtle interplay between subjects and surroundings, Ehsan knew exactly how to bring out the best in each moment. I never once felt rushed or awkward, and he always made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot. I couldn't be happier with the final results -- they exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for someone who combines skill, creativity, and a genuine passion for capturing the essence of a moment, Ehsan is your guy. Highly recommend!

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!!

Beyond this attention to detail, Michael is a true popular culture aficionado bringing his enthusiasm for film and television to every project. No matter whether it's "a screw in a door hinge" or "a supporting beam," Michael treats each video production as part of the mighty edifice that is our culture's media legacy.

He understands how to recommend improvements that will create better final products (and hence performance). He is responsive to customer requests and questions and if he isn't able to accommodate the job (which is rare), he's more than willing to recommend someone that can fill the gap. I actually hesitated writing this review -- if he's booked going forward -- I'll have no choice but to delete it!
