Filmtwist Creative Agency - Richmond, California

Isha

Filmtwist did my wedding videography back in September. I was honestly putting off booking a videographer until I found their work because I was struggling to find a team who had experience with Indian weddings, that wouldn't break the bank while still maintaining high quality results. More than anything, I wanted to choose a videographer who wouldn't make a cheesy/boring video I regretted. However, as soon as I connected with Deepa after checking our the website, I knew FIlmtwist were a perfect fit. They made sure all my questions were answered leading up to the event, and took initiative to familiarize themselves with the both our story as a couple as well as the timeline spanning several days. They had worked on lots of Indian weddings and were well-versed in the complicated rituals that would be taking place.

For each event, the Filmtwist team arrived to the venue right on time (earlier than even myself and the guests!). They were not at all disruptive, even with all the cameras and equipment, and made me feel so comfortable that often I forgot they were even there. They coordinated with my photographer seamlessly so I didn't have to communicate my location and other details to multiple people, which is a godsend on such a hectic day. Tien often directed my husband and me on how to pose in a way that felt natural, which I really appreciated, as cameras tend to make me nervous and self-conscious.

The finished product of their work is brilliant and well worth the wait (and the $$)! Filmtwist was able to send hours worth of finished videos to me about 6 weeks after the wedding, which is amazing since our events were right at the tail end of wedding season and usually vendors are very backed up returning content by then. Their videos are shot and edited in a timeless documentary style, utilizing production-quality equipment. The shots and interweaving of audio/video they did was very creative and captivating. I usually hate to see myself in video, but they really did a great job of making all the little details flow in a natural way. Even our friends still bring up how beautiful the highlights video came out. There was no choppiness/weirdness, and the team was accommodating in making the edits I requested. I couldn't be happier with the choice I made choosing FIlmtwist for my special day and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
