Michael worked with our school to create two videos for our annual auction and did a fantastic job listening to what our vision was and executing it in a way that was inspiring and motivating. He was responsive and timely, and extremely flexible when working with our students. He was able to merge our vision and end goal with his creative talents. We would absolutely recommend Michael and his team and will work with them again in the future. read more

Michael brought our team on for support in filming a large conference in Denver. He had everything well scheduled, and made the jobs of everyone around him very simple. He was professional, courteous, and genuinely a friendly person that I hope to have the opportunity to work with again. You would be doing yourself a huge favor hiring someone with his level of technical expertise and professionalism. Oh, did I mention how good his photography is? It's incredible, and has a very fast turnaround. Thanks Michael! read more

Unified Cinematic Videography did an outstanding job in creating a video for our Environmental Foundation. Michael is an expert at direction and creating a beautifully lit and composed scene. The sound was perfect and everything was delivered ahead of schedule. We highly recommend them for crafting a stunning video. read more

Nice place very knowledgeable staff. Very customer oriented. Helpful and customer service gets an A+ too.

Michael is exceptionally great with his videos, how he listens and is timely! I can not recommend him highly enough. You should give him a call. read more

I was hesitant about arranging a videographer for my wedding because I tend to dislike the cheesy, melodramatic approach that many videographers seem to take with wedding videos these days. I just wanted a beautifully shot, honest portrayal of our wedding day, but didn't think it would be possible to find a wedding videographer who would do that. However, after my maid of honor and I met Michael and looked through the videos on his website, I realized that Michael was the videographer who could do exactly what I had hoped for. His videos are gorgeously shot, and tell a story without going overboard or feeling inauthentic. Even just glancing through the video snippets on the United Cinematic instagram demonstrates how cinematic his wedding videos are. He has a really fresh eye that comes through in his videos, and he's not scared to play with different styles, which we really appreciated as clients. Based on his background, I believe that his flexibility and unique style are the result of his experience in documentary filmmaking. I also love all things antique/vintage so I personally have really enjoyed the vintage aesthetic he plays with on his website and in some of his videos. Michael himself was a pleasure to work with. When we first met with him, we felt as if we were meeting with an old friend. While he's very professional, he also has an authenticity and kindness to his personality that I didn't often encounter amongst the many other wedding vendors we met with. I also appreciated that he didn't try to up-sell us by pushing a more expensive package--instead, he was honest and straightforward with us and respected the budget we had set, which was again a rarity when dealing with wedding vendors. (It's actually worth noting that his pricing is extremely reasonable and I love that you can add different services a la carte). He was also very open to our ideas and our own vision, while still staying true to his own artistic vision (which obviously benefited us in the end). On the wedding day itself, both he and his shooting partner were funny and kind, and we loved the moments that they captured. In fact, Michael ended up taking a picture of us that is one of our favorite photos from the wedding itself, which was totally unexpected. Ultimately, I really love the video we have of our wedding day, and am so grateful to Unified Cinematic for doing that for us! read more

Michael is a joy to work with as he is professional and efficient and produces a wonderful finished product. He spent a Saturday videotaping a workshop sponsored by my company Women's Wellness Weekends, and 10 days later he delivered the finished videos to me, right on schedule and adequately and professionally edited. He added titles and made the videos look worthy of the price we will charge customers for them. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any video needs you have. His invoicing and payment system is also very user friendly and his contracts are easy to read and understand too so you know what you are getting. We'd be happy to use his services again. read more

We hired Unified Cinematic to produce a video for a Kickstarter campaign for Flight Wine + Chocolate, our soon to open wine tasting room in Capitol Hill. This was our first experience with a video production, so Michael made sure to walk us through the entire process. He was extremely professional, helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and provided the edited video very quickly. Michael is a fine photographer, and it shows in the video production. Top quality lighting and sound, along with expert editing, resulted in a video we will be very proud have as a focal point for our fundraising package. read more

Make this decision really easy for yourself and just book Unified Cinematic Wedding Videography now! Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself when they aren't available later. Trust me. MICHAEL HAS BEEN AMAZING TO WORK WITH OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS! Even though he wasn't available to shoot our wedding this month (his videographer collegues booked him a year in advance for the same date) - he referred us to several other great wedding cinematographers that he thought highly of for both storytelling and technical work. Throughout the past few months, Michael continued to make time to answer my countless technical and industry questions. He offered thoughtful, objective, insightful answers. He even helped us identify what to consider and how to make our videographer decision based on what was most important to us. After a few short chats, Michael actually understood what I (the bride) would want for a finished product better than I did, for which I am eternally grateful. As a result we were able to make a tough choice between two of the options he recommended (both of whom were also great!). Selecting our videographer was easily one of our toughest wedding decisions. I watched MANY, MANY wedding videos during my search for our videographer - but Michael's Unified Cinematic Videography work stood out for having both incredible technical quality (like stability, focus precision, composition, audio quality) and imaginative storytelling. Even though he wasn't available for our wedding, Michael still had a huge impact on our cinematic wedding experience. We now consider him a friend and I am considering taking one of his entry level editing classes :-) read more

From the first time I reached out to Michael until the finished product was delivered I have felt taken care of, understood, and confident. Before reaching out to Michael I had reached out to several other videographers within my network and I had a hard time even getting a call back. Within 15 minutes of reaching out, Michael responded and immediately started helping me with my project. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and gave me expert advice. There was no hassle to on timing and was available to answer my questions throughout the process. I feel confident referring Michael and Unified Cinematic to all of my friends and colleagues, and I will be working with him on future projects. I can't recommend him higher! read more

We could not be happier with Michael and Unified Cinematic. From our initial meeting all the way to delivery of the final product, they have been a joy to work with. I want to emphasize work WITH. Michael listened to our needs, our budget and our style to deliver a product that was exactly what we wanted. He answered all of my emails super-fast and was always on top of the details. As a bride, having a vendor that didn't need to be checked in on was a blessing! Our final videos were beyond amazing. He captured the day impeccably and told the story flawlessly. Everything, from the clarity of the audio to the quality of the video, could not have been better. As a bride, your wedding day is going to be a whirlwind. I knew this going in, but after watching my wedding video, I had no idea how many details I had missed or forgotten (and it's only been 80 days!). Had Michael and his camera not been there all the little moments - the giggles, the cheers, the jokes - from our special day would be lost to history. Do not hesitate - Michael and Unified Cinematic are, without a doubt, one of the best in the business and worth every penny. read more

My company hired Michael to film our panel at a convention. Communication was easy and timely, and video and audio quality were great. Michael was easy to work with and we would definitely use him again if we're back in the Seattle area! read more

We hired Michael and his team to handle video for a conference event. Professional, organized, easy to deal with, and great results.

Michael was really great to work with. We needed some additional shots for a documentary film and he was able to turn around the project days before the agreed deadline. He was also very communicative through emails and phone. I would definitely recommend his service! read more

Michael was so great to work with. You can see by his portfolio that he is a one-of-a-kind videographer, where he considers the theme/vibe/energy of the event prior to deciding how the video would turn out. None of his work is "cookie cutter" and that is why I hired him (& so glad I did!). Prior to my wedding, he was very responsive and so easy to work with. He was accommodating and willing to brainstorm different video-shot ideas. It was so nice to work with someone like him, who was laid back and clearly an expert! During the wedding, you would never know that videography team was even there! They just blended in perfectly. When I got my video clip back, I was pleasantly surprised at his ability to capture special moments. It should be mentioned too that other vendors really enjoyed working with Michael - he gets along with everyone, which makes the overall event even better :) I would definitely hire him again and definitely emphasize how important a videographer is to capture the special day. Thank you, Michael, for being so great! read more

Unified Cinematic shot the Psychedelic Summer Party for the PNW Chapter of the Retail Design Institute. Michael was able to capture the atmosphere and vibe of the party and edited the video to correlate with our '60's theme. I highly recommend Unified Cinematic for any of your special occasions. They are creative, professional and fun to work with! read more

Michael is amazing, responsive, flexible and has a great vibe.

What I loved most about Micheal's service was that you could see he really cared about recording OUR story. We told him our wedding was "festival" styled and he came to the event prepared to capture the events of the day as they moved and developed. We challenged him with an outdoor event, weird lighting, multiple locations, moving sound, non-traditional staging and even dynamic performances and he expertly captured every moment. You could see even as he was recording that he was going to create a video that was uniquely us. I don't think any other videographer would have the equipment or the skills to create such a wonderful documentation of our day. I know we will be watching it over and over. read more

I hired Michael to cover a book signing and speaking event and he did an amazing job. Normally after capturing the footage there is a lot of back and forth that goes on to get the perfect condensed video. Not so with Michael, he did such a great job we only made one very minor change and it was a wrap! I highly recommend Michael! read more

Michael at Unified Cinematic does such a great job telling the story through video. His wedding videos are very moving and timeless. It's all about the couple and the memories and not a bunch of special graphics that are going to look outdated in ten years. Can't recommend him enough read more

Memories of a lifetime captured by a gifted videographer. Behind the scenes, in the moment and up in the sky (a drone) all put together in a sneak peak video, a highlights video and an extended video. We laugh, we cry and we want to do it all over again. Michael - we are so grateful we chose you! read more

Giving Unified Cinematic a rating of 5 cannot even begin to express how impressed I have been with Michael and his work. I have stumbled across his website a little over a week before my wedding. I almost made the biggest mistake by thinking I didn't need a videographer. I'm happy I changed my mind, and I'm even happier Michael the person we got to work with on such short notice. Michael has it all--communication, professionalism, experience, and talent. My husband and I were amazed that he was able to condense a 5 hour wedding party in 8 minutes, highlighting our favorite moments! Our friends and family were equally amazed. We couldn't be happier with the finished project. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Michael did our wedding video last Oct 2016. My husband and I were very happy we hired him. He captured every important details in our wedding. I'm also impressed how he worked well with kids. He made our wedding video looked much more exciting and fun. His approach is very unique as he tells a story behind all the captured moments of the event. I highly recommend Michael of Unified Cinematic, you will not regret it. read more

Unified Cinematic was a true pleasure to work with! They filmed a large corporate event for us hosted at the space needle, performed all the necessary video editing and produced a beautiful compilation of the evening. If we find ourselves ever in need of videography services again while in the PNW, we will be sure to use Unified Cinematic. read more

Michael was a great help on really short notice. Total professional and great communication. Highly recommended!

Mike is very patient and also very professional. I really enjoyed working with him. I had another reception overseas after my wedding in the US, however, the dates were very close, Mike helped expedite the processing and made a wonderful short video for my overseas reception. I was able to share moments of my wedding with my families that didn't make to my US wedding. It was wonderful. read more

You will love working with Michael at Unified Cinematic. I hired him to do a video of a fitness class, and his final product was highly professional, beautifully filmed, and wonderfully inspiring. In addition, Michael is easy to work with and offers excellent advice that helps create a great final product. From what I can see of his work on his site, he is obviously an excellent wedding videographer as well, but I can say from experience that he does a broad variety of film projects and does them with excellence. I recommend Unified Cinematic Photography highly! read more

I hired Michael with Unified Cinematic to create a video for my website that showcased me and my interior design business, my work and my clients. He first interviewed my clients and then sat down with me. He was very professional and listened to my needs/wants/concerns. We talked about my goals for this video, how it was intended to be used and the areas I wanted covered. He asked a lot of great questions with regard to me and my business which came through brilliantly in the video. He also allowed me to review and comment on the video and the content as well as the background music. It was well worth the investment and recommend Michael highly. read more

We hired Michael to record the stories people shared about my father at his memorial. The recording quality was outstanding! The recorded stories sounds just like NPR's StoryCorps or something you would hear from a Moth broadcast. Michael visited the venue ahead of time to ensure the facilities would work for the recording. We were holding the event in a 6000 sq foot building with a concrete floor, metal roof and sides. He and his assistant brought all of the needed equipment include a projector for the slide show my sister had prepared. Everyone in the building (~175 people) could hear the stories as they were being recorded. He arrived over two hours before the start to set up. Giving himself plenty of time to resolve any unforeseen technical issues. Fortunately there were no issues. He did a great job transitioning between speakers as well. The quality of his work was outstanding and I would highly recommend him to others. read more
