Spiral Moon Media, Inc.

Although we decided to go with another videographer, I want it to be known how great the quality of customer service I received. Jonathan was very quick and very professional with his responses.  He was very accommodating and very patient even with the silliest questions I asked.  If not within minutes, he made it a point to respond within an hour or two.  He was very reassuring considering the event we need the services for is within 3 weeks!The ultimate decision was not mine to make, if anyone is wondering why we did not go with Spiral Moon Media.  My role was to solicit quotes and information.

WOW! That's how I would describe Jonathan and Spiral Moon Video. I originally contacted Jonathan because I was doing a real estate investing presentation and I wanted to capture the footage to upload to YouTube. Not only did I upload the original presentation but Jonathan and his team helped me with branding an additional nine more of my coaching videos! Because I've enjoyed working with Jonathan and his team I recently drove three hours to shoot some additional footage that I'll be uploading to YouTube! Looking forward to working with Jonathan and Spiral Moon video for a long time! They're the best and they have excellent customer service! More...

We used Spiral Moon Media for a very last-minute video requirement. They were able to respond to the quick request, were extremely professional, arrived EARLY on-site to ensure set-up, were very flexible with changes needed to the script, maintained a low-key and comfortable environment, took as many takes as needed for a solid video, and provided us the final video BEFORE the due date. Will absolutely use them again in the future More...

We needed a video completed, in a very short amount of time.  Spiral Moon Media was very responsive and was able to help us. They arrived onsite EARLY to ensure all of the equipment was set up and running properly.  They took their time to ensure the lighting, audio, frame, background, all was displaying well.I needed some tweaks made to the script on the teleprompter, and we easily made those real-time. The approach was very professional and positive, and put me at easy during the taping.  They were truly focused on the best product possible. They delivered the final video file BEFORE the deadline.  So happy with the final product.  We will absolutely use them again in the future. More...

Jonathan and the Spiral Moon team jumped in on our project when we were jilted by another video production company. Jonathan was very thorough in asking questions to make sure he understood the objectives of our project and what our expectations were. We did our first video in a very compressed time frame -- a few days from shoot to final -- and the result is a high quality video that we are very pleased with. More...

I am very glad I chose Spiral Moon Media for editing my wedding highlight video! My self & my husband have tried few other editors before knocking on the door of Spiral moon media. After being unhappy with edits by previous editors, we decided to try Spiral Moon Media. Our wedding is an Indian wedding with 4 different events which requires a lot of time & expertise to string all the events together elegantly in 10 min highlight video. We approached Spiral Moon only after reading the 5 star reviews! Well, we were a little skeptical in the beginning and couldn't really trust the 5 star rating. But fortunate for us that we decided to give a try and yes we give a 5 star too! Among all the editors we had contacted, Dan from spiral moon was the fastest to respond within only coupe of hours. The response time and the detail reply itself is amazing. Dan responded to our query in detail and was very friendly to approach. He cleared all our queries and also helped us with suggestions. We were also given the option to be with the editor to give our suggestions while the editor worked on the video. This option worked out great for us as we were able to personally give all our inputs, preferences and suggestions. We could also contact the editor to add changes, or if we had any questions regarding the edit and the reply was quick usually. Initially the edit was done by Adam but later was handed over to Woo. Even though it was handed over, the transition was smooth and also the number of hours that were affected during the transition was taken care of in the end. The expertise of the editors is visible in the way the video has been edited. The clips were edited and arranged accordingly to highlight the entire event and to bring out its essence. The clips were also edited to sync with music, which I feel is an important part of the edit. The editors were very patient with us and gave importance to our requests and made them the top priority. Listening to client's requests is the most important part required to make a great edit. Our previous editors had used had hardly used our suggestions and used their preferences instead. This made the video very distant to us. But thanks to Spiral Moon Media editors who gave priority to our preferences. We did not have to struggle to make the editor understand our choice of how we wanted the video to be edited, As our preference was utmost important to the editors. The process was smooth and our editor Woo knew what exactly we were looking for! This made it easy for us to get the edit done according to our liking:). The edit made our event even more spectacular !! To our surprise, the pricing is reasonable too! we got a surprise quote and we couldn't be more happier!!!!!! These guys are very professional but also pleasantly friendly. If we had any other videos to be edited, we would definitely approach Spiral Moon. Thank You Spiral Moon Media for treasuring our memories in an admirable video. We will always remember you for making our wedding highlights so very Special! More...

I was looking for a production company to film my first short film, needless to say I was a little worried about picking the right firm.  I talked to 4 different companies and for some reason didn't get the right feeling, then I spoke with Dan at Spiral Moon and everything seemed to click.  We discussed the script, different scenes, locations, props, actors etc...Dan made me feel comfortable and walked me through the whole filming process.  His attention to detail was tremendous!!!  My project came out terrific.  His shooting style was concise and his direction and vision were much appreciated.  Spiral Moon took care of all of the extras also.  Anis did an amazing job with hair and makeup and Jake is an editing master. It was a collaborative effort that I was extremely happy with.  The whole film was done on budget and on time.  Overall...I was completely satisfied with the job that Spiral Moon did.  My film came out better than I could have expected and I look forward to working with Dan and the good folks at Spiral Moon on future projects.

Reliable, honest, artistic, creative and responsive. We hired Spiral Moon Media to record 3 shows of our annual production of "The Nutcracker".

I enlisted Dan's help for a professional client video and I was absolutely impressed with the whole process. First, he was incredibly helpful on the phone (because I seriously had no insight into video projects), his friendly demeanor in person and quality of work. The project was even more complicated because we were just interviewing one person in San Francisco and then sending the footage to the UK so our videographer there could piece everything together. It was a pretty long and arduous task -- the whole process probably took about four hours because we had been tasked to take three different shots of the interview (close up, wide screen and full). He was very patient and helpful during the setup, recording and file transfer. He was especially great during the setup because I wanted to try multiple potential backdrops to be sure I matched the UK interviews.My client loved the footage! It looked so crisp and modern and they are currently working it into multiple videos for their promotion.I would absolutely recommend working with Spiral Moon Media! More...

Dan and his production team are fantastic! I worked with him to create a short testimonial video for our company, and the entire process from start to finish was fun and easy. He has a great eye for details and is a true perfectionist. During filming, we shot about seven different interviews over the course of two days, and throughout the whole thing was very patient, professional, and continually checked in with me to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. He provided invaluable input and was completely open and accepting of our many suggestions, edits, and back-and-forth emails. I didn't work personally with the editors, but their skills are evident and top-notch as well. Everyone loved the final product! More...
