I would definitely select Direct Images Interactive to do a video production again... Bill was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable!

Needed to hire someone to live stream a funeral service. It was critical that it had to be done right for this one-time event with 20+ viewers in and outside of the country.

SERVICE: Super impressed from the initial phone screen/intake onward. Bill asked very detailed questions about the event and what exactly we wanted so there was no doubt that he knew what he was doing. We went with Bill because he gave us the comfort and confidence that our one-time event was going to be executed smoothly and flawlessly - and it did! He also had great follow-up and communication along the way - which we really very much appreciated given our minds were preoccupied.

Note: Bill did a survey of the funeral site before the day of the event and brought his equipment and router to evaluate and ensure the proper setup and connection for the live stream.

DELIVERABLES: The feedback from our virtual viewers was very positive about both the visual and audio quality over the live stream. The recording afterwards had the same exceptional quality as well.

Our experience was so wonderful with Bill that we wouldn't hesitate to retain him again for other events. Thank you so much, Bill!

We had a video made for our dental office. Bill was great to work with and made filming fun. When we saw the finished video, we were so happy with the results. New patients always mention how great the video is and how it helped them make a decision to visit our practice. Thanks again for all your hard work, Bill! More...

Bill Knowland at Direct Images did a great job creating a community video for my listing in Pleasanton. His professionalism and experience made my clients feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the end result was a high quality video that I can use in my marketing material for many years to come. Thank you Bill for putting together a quality product! More...
