My expectations for a videographer to film, interview the folks involved, get the right music,…read moreeffects, and clips to build a story were ricocheted out of the universe in what I thought could be done. The story involved folks in a rehabilitation hospital, who had unfortunate and unexpected disabilities and their journey to take their lives back. When I saw folks watch the video for the first time, they consistently had tears. It is hard not to be moved with the beauty, detail, folks in raw form during interviews, and authenticity in the moment. As I watched this being put together, I was won over even more watching the drone capture the environment on film. It is the details.

I'm thrilled to be working with Brad and Plant Base Films and highly recommend him. I was putting…read moreoff the production of an online video course for years, and I knew I needed to get some help to move forward. I decided to dive in and hired Brad, and boy did I make the right decision! (Not to mention his rates are so reasonable.) I can't imagine a better person to work with. Brad is not only focused on getting the job done, he does it with high quality standards, and with good humor and good will. He has been so patient and supportive, helping me feel at ease in front of the camera. As for production quality, with most other creative projects I feel the need to be on top of quality control, but Brad is so dedicated to the art and craft of film production I can let go of that and just focus on designing my course! He's also been great to bounce ideas around with as I am working out some of the details of course plan, and his musical background happens to be helpful for this project, too. Brad's involvement is the key reason this project is moving forward -- not in a stressful way, but in a fun and creative way. With him on my team I know the course will finally get done, and get done well. He is a hidden gem in the video production world, and he brings a purpose-driven, creative inspiration to what he does -- which is priceless. If you are thinking of filming your online course, music video, short documentary, or other purposeful project, I highly recommend hiring Brad -- you will be grateful and lucky you did.

I explained the material of the vcr tapes was of my deceased father, the only live footage actually and I had concerns/qeustions about the process being safe etc. he was reassuring and understanding.

All this from a legitimate full service production company in the industry which has won numeroud industry awards for their talents. Thank you James and crew for a great job done, you deserve this reviewa and then some..

Once in a blue moon, a company surpasses my expectations. When I first contacted Circle Video from…read moresearching online, I explained I had a fairly extensive video editing project and was under a very tight deadline. I was new to the Bay Area and had nothing more to go on than my first impressions over the phone. I explained that the project would involve three distinct "phases" requiring precise syncing to a soundtrack on specific musical beats, fast cut edits (3 seconds or less) with faultless transitions of over 150 photos into a 3-minute soundtrack, and setting multiple video clips to a timed soundtrack, balancing audios to enhanced voice-over-sound. I had a very special objective in mind. My stepdaughter was out of state at college, and I learned that she had a falling out with her dad. I knew she missed him, because they had always been very close. I was determined to find a way to remind her of all the happy times she had with him, and me, as a very special 19th birthday gift. The finished project was envisioned to be a time capsule of her life, through pictures put to a special piece of music, from birth to high school graduation. Part of the gift would be delivery of a 32" HDTV and DVD player for her to watch the video on. So this was a project that would demand a professional video production company. My first impressions of James over the phone were that he understood what I wanted, and I felt comfortable that he had the ability to complete the work. I liked the fact that he could schedule studio time right away so we could get started. I knew exactly what I wanted the finished product to look like, and so he suggested I sit in to provide direction as he edited. The session was long and very focused, but James never tired. He was friendly, attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable in his craft. Within days, James had completed my project for pickup. A week later, my phone rang. It was my stepdaughter who tearfully thanked me for her birthday gift. I knew the tv was not causing her tears. It was something else. I asked how she liked the video. She said all her friends had watched the 14-minute video and they were all blown away! And then she got quiet for a moment, choking back emotion. I waited. She said, "Mom, I called dad. After watching the video a few times, I realized we need each other." Rarely have I written a review because I'm almost never satisfied with customer service or results. But this is one company that truly met and exceeded my expectations. I can truly say James and Circle Video are outstanding! I would not hesitate to use their services again (and already am working on our next project) -- and I highly recommend James. He got the project done -- the way I wanted it, within the deadline I needed it! A father and daughter have been reunited. Mission accomplished! It just doesn't get any better than that! Thanks, James! Excellent job!!

The wedding video was the ONE THING my wife wanted so she could show her family overseas what the wedding was like. But no. I just get every email ignored with no updates at all. I would definitely look elsewhere for a videographer because it feels like this is just a side hussle for him and the fact that we've gotten no updates or explanations at all is going to be what ultimately is going to make me get my money back. All dude had to do was update me with whats going on and why it is taking so long, but no. avoid, avoid, avoid. Nico, if you see this, please just send me the raw footage and I'll edit myself. Ridiculous.

Nico has a keen understanding of the look and feel these videos need to encapsulate for the social media medium and is able to deliver us a final product that mirrors our storyboards and outlines to a "T". Nico has also been able to step in as an editor for some postproduction work when our team is overwhelmed or we have multiple deadlines at once. His editing skills are also top notch and can often match or outperform our in-house editors with little to no guidance outside of a reference sample of the edit style and maybe a basic outline. We will continue to use Nico without hesitation and he's highly recommended!

Chris is *awesome.* We seriously can't recommend him enough!…read more A bit of explanation: We added a videographer super last minute because my grandparents unexpectedly couldn't make it to our wedding, and I am SO grateful we found Spleeny Films. He was incredibly responsive over email and phone calls, always getting back to us right away and answering all our questions thoroughly. He really listened to us and made sure to capture all the footage we wanted. As stressful as a last-minute hire can be, I always felt like we were in good hands with Chris, and for that I am forever grateful. On the day-of, where we met for the first time (!), I knew we made the right decision: he was polite, friendly, and funny. He had some great ideas about how to capture everything, and worked wonderfully with our photographers. Best of all, we hardly noticed his presence (super ideal, since you don't want a video camera to be in the way all the time) -- and yet when we watched the video after the wedding, we were amazed at how much footage he caught that we didn't even realize he was around for! He had remarkably fast turn-around time so we could show my grandparents, and even went above and beyond to make us a beautiful short film in addition to our long full-coverage video. Everything is so wonderfully shot, with such great lighting; it just shows how great of an eye he has for capturing the right images and all the different emotions everyone has. We were especially impressed with his editing skills and how he was able to splice the footage together in such a way that it really told a story. I can't believe our luck at finding Spleeny Films, and will recommend him to any friends and family getting married in the area in the future. He's just what you want on your wedding day: a true artist who also happens to be an awesome person that you'd like to be friends with. Comparing our experience with our other married friends, we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found someone so personable, fun, and professional. Thanks, Chris!!

CHRIS IS AMAAAAAAAZING!…read more I had to go and make a yelp profile just to give this man the appreciation that he deserves. Words can not explain how happy my wife and I are with the product that Chris has delivered to us. Not only was the end result even better than we could have ever imagined, but the way he worked around our requests during our special day was phenomenal. Chris is a professional in every aspect...He arrived early, had plenty of cameras, extra batteries, worked around our schedules during and after our wedding to deliver the end result, and he even had a backup pair of shoes with him when one of his broke! The photographer we hired (not connected to/or recommended to us by Chris) was a different story. She made everything go her way and made it tough for Chris to get certain shots that he wanted, but you would never know by the end results. Our photographs look alright, while our video was breath taking. I can recall seeing our photographer quite often throughout the night, but only once spotted Chris. He is very ninja like. If we had to go back and do it all over, we would have just stuck with Chris, or used a photographer that he recommends. Thank you again for all of your help and sorry that this review took so long! You are definitely a professional in every aspect and I hope other couples have the pleasure that we did to have you capture their beautiful weddings. Thank you again Chris!
