Client Testimonials
Maxwell and I met at a community event, and he shared his love for making movies. I invited him to make a video for the Grand Opening of our building as a community member. When he said yes, I didn't think to myself that it would be the highlight of the evening. He did a phenomenal job putting on display what the program is centered on - creativity and innovation in community.
I recorded my college music supplements with Maxwell, and could not have chosen better. He was very patient, and the quality of the final video was amazing. I highly recommend Maxwell for any recording or filming jobs!
I would definitely recommend Maxwell for editing videos. I will most likely use him again in the future [He did]
Maxwell is wonderful to work with. He was so good with the kids in our studio! His artistic ability truly shows in his work!
We loved all our videos from here for our dance recital with Kim & Company dance! You've done an amazing job! Can’t wait to work with you again this season!
Maxwell is awesome! I wanted something special for my little girl and he made it happen! Having the opportunity to work with Maxwell has been amazing! His talent is amazing and his work represents that! 10/10 recommend! I can definitely see us working more with him in the future!
The photos turned out absolutely amazing! The quality and editing were great. I'm so so so happy I was able to find him for the Exodus at VT Spring 2022 showcase and that we were able to work together! I can't wait to see the photos he'll take for the Spring 2023 showcase!
Maxwell did an amazing job taking photos of our Exodus dance showcase. Despite the complicated lighting conditions which can be tricky to capture well on camera, his photos came out vibrant and dynamic, with a great selection of poses and shots.
The photos for the Exodus Spring Showcase 2022 came out so well I posted them on all my socials and have had many of them as my desktop wallpaper! I'm so excited for this semester's showcase pictures too!
I recorded my college music supplements with Maxwell, and could not have chosen better. He was very patient, and the quality of the final video was amazing. I highly recommend Maxwell for any recording or filming jobs!
Excellent person with great equipment! He can help you finish that song or film you’ve been meaning to produce forever. He is a professional with high-end technology and quality acoustics. Would recommend!
Maxwell is extraordinarily responsible and engaging. He has watched my 11 year old on several occasions and my son adores him! I would definitely recommend him to watch your children.
Maxwell was attentive to instructions and also looked out for my daughter who was helping out (she is 5 years younger than he is). Maxwell followed through with his assigned duties and performed them well. He also picked up on things that needed to be done and did them without being asked. He is a thoughtful and polite young man who takes a job seriously. I trusted him to not only do his work with very little supervision but also in supervising my daughter when she helped out. I would be happy to hire Maxwell again and believe him to a genuinely kindhearted person who is responsible beyond his years.
