Testimonial East Palo Alto Senior Center gets more financial support

Again I want to thank you for your time in making the video for the EPA Senior Center.
It has been a great tool of communication let me share some tesimonials and highlights.
The video allowed the Senior Center to vocally and visually communicate its heart for the Senior’s and the hope
they have for their community.  At a time when people are very busy and its easy to become distracted and totally
unaware of the needs of our seniors.  However the video took us all on a journey to how this economic drought
has affected our elders where they struggle to have their basic needs met.
As a result volunteerism at the senior center is at an all time high, the mayor of EPA is looking to allocate funding to
support various programs at the Senior Center and more and more seniors are proud to have a place to go where they feel loved and cared for.

Testimonial: Renaissance Entreprenuership Center


Renaissance needed to film testimonials from its grads and an introduction to its services to use in the online curriculum and on the website to best illustrate the value of its classes and promote its new online program. Before we tried Jaime’s sevices, we viewed his portfolio. We loved his video samples and it appeared that his skill levels were good fit for us.

Upon working with Jaime, we found that he was very supportive during our hectic times of our project. He provided guidance on how to execute the filming interviews and the video editing process. He was extremely flexible and accommodating during our uncertain scheduling and the project timeline. He produced quality videos with good lighting and audio during our interviews.

He also provided technical support on how to produce the video clips so they would meet our online requirements.

What surprised me the most about his services is that he has a quick turnaround time for all the projects we asked him to do.  He was also extremely responsive to our needs at each moment we needed something quickly. I love the quality of work he has provided for us.

If you were thinking about hiring Jaime’s services,  he does a great job. He also gives great support for a clients’ needs.  I recommend his services because of great product, support and service.

Testimonial: Do you need a team player?

Charlene Wong: Owner of Hello Pretty ME

There are some  issues  that prevents me from doing business with a videographer because of:

Impatience and inflexibility – I work mainly at weddings and sometimes the day can be hectic and unpredictable. So I’m looking for a videographer who has patience and can “go with the flow” on that day.

Poor communication – I mainly communicate via email and it bothers me if a videographer doesn’t respond within a day or two. It demonstrates that they are unprofessional and that they are not serious with their business. Also, I want a videographer to shoot what “I” want instead of what “they” want.

Poor quality – I’ve worked with other videographers before and they don’t have the proper equipment or steady hands to shoot. I’m very sensitive to motion and I get motion sickness quite easily. So, I would appreciate that the videographer is prepared to deliver the work with the right tools and skills.

Jaime Espiritu did a spectacular job. He was very professional and able to put together a promotional video that showcased my work beautifully. I loved the testimonial provided by Shoinda (the bride) and it was incorporated with some still photos seamlessly. There were a couple changes that I wanted to make and he was very patient. He responded quickly and the result was perfect.

Jaime’s  patience in making the quick changes to my video to make the video perfect fits my high standards. He is also very professional and he produces great quality work. His communications is also timely and prompt.

I would recommend his services because he is a  pleasure to work with. He produced a video that met my business’s needs and he gets the job done within a reasonable time.

As a wedding makeup artist, I’m a part of a team on the day of a wedding. Sometimes you get to meet the other vendors ahead of time but most likely you won’t. Basically you’re placed in a situation where you need to be able to cooperate and work well with others for the sake of the bride and groom. With that said, I met Jaime on the day of Shionda and Ed’s wedding and I felt very comfortable with him. He was a team player. As I was doing Shionda’s makeup, Jaime was in the background shooting and he wasn’t in the way or disturbing me. I was able to do my work when he was shooting at the same time. It was a joy working with Jaime and I look forward in collaborating with him in future weddings.

Testimonial: Asking for their hand?

I had a great need to expose or share my ministry program with others at ALCF.  However, there was no venue available for that to take place.  Currently, at the ALCF, we have videos of upcoming events, but we didn’t have a venue to showcase ministry presentations or ministry overview that really highlights the mission and purpose of my ministry.

The one result of Jaime’s work is that he’s gotten people catch the vision of the ministry.  And although they don’t have a passion for sports, they have a passion for kids, and they have a passion to see – they understand how sports is used as a vehicle to reach people.  And so it inspired others to get involved on one of those different places.

Working with Jaime was very easy.  Many people don’t have the video or technical skills to put together a video.  However, I was able to share with Jaime my dream of what I visually saw, and he was able to interpret that to video.  He was able to hear my vision and was able to communicate it in video so that I can see it played out right before me.  And another way of saying that you was able to tell the story that I couldn’t find the words to say.

His videos communicates the mission and purpose in a very relevant way.  It inspires people to get involved.  I think it captivates the audience and inspires them to get involved.  You’re able to – after you show the video give the person next steps.  My things is when you’re asking people to get involved in ministry, you have to touch their heart before you can ask for their hand.  And that’s what the video does.

Currently, at ALCF, the way we’re showing the videos, we’re asking for people’s hands.  But we’re not touching their hearts.  And his videos actually allows people’s hearts to be touched.  They see the problem.  They understand the need.  And then they see this video is showing you how you can get involved.  And then once people see that, they say, “You know what, I can make a difference.  I can do that.  I can get involved and do that.”  That’s what’s so powerful about it.

I’ve had people tell me that the video touched their heart.  And some of them, it made them angry.  And some of them, it made them feel guilty because they recognize that the need is there and they have – at one time or so, they have felt the nudge to get involved, but they just didn’t do it.  And now when they see it and their heart is touched, they realize, “I should have done something.”

And I think video is key to that.  I think the video is going to touch people in a way that a two-minute presentation on stage could never do.

One of the great things in working with Jaime is that he doesn’t  try to take someone’s message and convey your own.  He listens intently, and he tries to get to the heart of what it is that they want to communicate.  And you uses his gift to communicate that other person’s vision or picture.  He really listens…really listens, and he makes himself available to serve the people who want to do the video.
