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!!

Paul was an excellent host and willing to have us on a Sunday morning. The space was perfect for a sit-down interview with green screen. A relaxed atmosphere made the crew and the interviewee comfortable for the shoot. There is nice garden patio outside perfect for lunch on a sunny day.

The day we selected Paul Kalbach of Artichoke Productions as Director of Photography for our…read moreindependent feature, The World Famous Kid Detective Agency, was a very good day. Throughout pre-production, Paul advised us on crew, predicted the snags we would hit and offered practical solutions, and was a consummate professional as we worked to finalize our scheduling, crew and locations. I can honestly say that he was the rock on which we, the producers, built the production. He called me personally when he noticed an oversight that could have cost us dearly. He also generously shared his contacts which led us to an absolutely ace crew who came through every day of filming. As a low budget film, we could not supply the full crew to support him, but that never stopped Paul from pushing for quality and getting the absolute best that our grueling schedule allowed. He is an artist and combines that sensibility with decades of experience in the world of independent film. His genuine easy-going temperament kept many of us going when our locations/circumstances were challenging. And our locations/schedules were always challenging. Our director constantly spoke of Paul in the highest terms, an opinion shared by everyone on set - cast and crew alike. As Director of Photography, he was instrumental in getting us through our pages. And we made our days every shooting day, letting us stay on schedule and budget. And, in the first stages of post production, I can say the footage is excellent. The use of his Zephry cam (an amazing steady cam mounted on a Segway) gave our film production values far exceeding our budget. The jib shots he designed are beautiful. His technical knowledge of his equipment is expert level and his prices beat every rental house in the Bay Area by a significant amount. I do not believe that we could have made this film without Paul and on behalf of the producing team for The World Famous Kid Detective Agency, I recommend him without reservation.

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.

I hired Marina's team to film a One Person Play called The Father Daughter Dance in San Francisco…read more It was a two camera shot and the results are tremendous. The quality of the video I received was first class. The way the team integrated both cameras in the shot came through was perfect. Marina was superb to work with. She was diligent about scoping out and creating a contract from my needs. She was responsive and flexible when we discussed what her work would be that night. I loved how her cameras were small and high quality not taking up a lot of seats in the theater was really valuable as I could sell more seats. Her work post production was remarkable. She was professional as we iterated on that the ultimate video looked and sounded like. I'm SO happy I hired her to do that post production work, no way I could have done that myself. Finally, she created a great trailer clip that I can now send to any potential venues that I want to book my show at. I strongly recommend Marina's team to work with you on shooting a theatrical performance like mine or any other video needs.

First, a little background story: My wife and I got married at beautiful Kauai, HI in August 2016…read more We hired a photographer/videographer who showed promise via their new website, and we thought we had a good deal working with one company for both video and photo combo- we were dead wrong, and received a video that TOTALLY missed our expectations. It didn't have ANY of our vows, officiant's speech, reception speeches, or any candid shots of the beautiful setting, scenes or key objects that were part of the wedding. We basically received a 5 minute music video which barely brushed through everything that happened that day. It lacked substance, it lacked a story. While we took the necessary steps to make sure the original photographer/videographer were held accountable, at the end of it all the wedding was done, what was captured was done- and we were devastated beyond belief. One year later, right before our 1 year anniversary, I decided to see what we could do to re-edit the video- I searched on Yelp and found Gusto. He was willing to sift through ALL of the raw footage that we were able to salvage from the horrible works of the original videographer, and with his amazing editing skills he was able to magically produce something that we are not embarrassed to show to our family and friends. Gusto was very clear in his communication, expectations, pricing options, and was open & flexible to work closely with me on details regarding certain scenes and music I wanted to include. He checked in with me regularly. He reassured me that he would try his best, and and the end he did not disappoint! My wife and I are SO thankful to have found Gusto, and highly recommend him to document (or re-edit) your wedding!!

We fell in love with REB6's emotional storytelling style and we were instantly sold. We originally planned to have a wedding with 200+ guests in December 2020. Unfortunately, COVID was surging during that time, so we decided to downsize to a microwedding. We continued to work with the majority of our vendors including REB6Studios. Our experience with Sig and his team was exceptional and the final product will be cherished for a lifetime. When we changed venues and significantly reduced our guest list, Sig was very understanding and accommodating given our situation. We mainly communicated via email and he was always responsive, helpful, and professional. On the day of the wedding, Sig and Mariane were very detail oriented, adhered to the wedding timeline, gave incredible direction, and worked well with our photographer. When we received our highlights video, we were blown away. It was like watching a movie of our wedding day and it perfectly captured all the emotions and events of the day. The editing and production value were of the highest quality. We also opted to get the ceremony cut so all our friends and family who were unable to attend would be able to watch the big day. On our first anniversary, my husband and I watched our video together. It brought back all the feels as REB6Studios was able to capture the love and happiness we felt on our special day.

We booked REB6Studios for our wedding because after watching their films you can tell they have everything you'd want in a wedding video: all the emotional and fun moments captured with amazing cinematography, perfect music and tearjerking storytelling. We received our wedding video earlier than expected and it blew us away. All the shots were beautiful, carefully put together with many details weaved into the film. REB6Studios even incorporated audio from the speeches, and the bride and groom letter readings from before the ceremony. They included many heartfelt stories from our night, such as the emotional moments mentioned in those speeches and letters. The best part is they perfectly balanced the happy and emotional moments, also including the extra fun scenes like the reception dance performances, money dance, and dance floor footage! The video overall made my wife and I cry (in a good way!) because we got to relive all the amazing emotions. After sharing our video on social media, so many people have told us how it made them cry as well. Additionally, Sig and Mariane were super professional, experienced, friendly and easy to be with!

Can't wait for our family members to get married next so we can suggest REB6Studios, and I'll always be recommend them to everyone. Definitely check them out! :)
