Documentary Review from Nicole Wriedt
James and Synchronous Pictures are producing a documentary on Rise Up Industries, a San Diego nonprofit with a mission to minimize gang involvement. I've worked on Rise Up's development team for the past four years. After seeing the 5-minute trailer, I'm amazed at how James has captured the heart of our mission with such clarity and beauty. Thank you, James and team!

Documentary Review from Jonathan Yackley
Synchronous Pictures, led by James Parker, delivered an extraordinary experience from start to finish. James has a rare ability to combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling.Our team at Rise Up Industries saw our story come to life in a unique and powerful way. James approached each interview and filming day with care, professionalism, and a listening ear. The resulting documentary captures both the heart of our mission and the dignity of those we serve.If you're looking for a creative partner who will honor your story while elevating your brand with cinematic excellence, I can't recommend Synchronous Pictures enough.
Ralph Klisiewicz's Review Sourced from Google
James and the Synchronous Pictures Studios organized an incredible event at the Siskel Center to premiere their documentary film, In Our Nature. The event was well organized, and the communication between our team and theirs was smooth. The film was well-received, and the Q&A that followed was engaging. Well done!

JJJ PPP's Review Sourced from Google
This location has a Hose Shop, Fluid Power repair shop, UL508 Electrical Panel shop and Motion Sales Branch all under one roof. Knowledgeable staff and extensive stock of motion control and electrical products (i.e. VFD's, contactors, controls, etc.) as well as many types of hose (custom built to order), bearings, motors, sprockets, chain, and much, much more.
E Osgood's Review Sourced from Google
Very helpful, knowledgeable people get exactly what I need even when I'm not sure what I'm talking about. Been here several times, the only time I had to wait at the service desk is when they made me a hose on the spot.

Dr. Jose R. Garcia, DC's Review Sourced from Google
FANTASTIC!I called/emailed 5 local video production companies to seek help with a live stream issue and Blue Ocean Productions were the quickest to answer and set up a meet to troubleshoot our issue. I appreciate the transparency regarding process and fees. They really made it easy for us. Thank you for your service and expertise.
Rudy Calasin's Review Sourced from Google
Jim from Blue Ocean Productions recently helped my church with livestream issues that we've been having over the past year. The problem involved the video lagging significantly behind the audio with the lag getting progressively worse throughout the duration of the stream. Jim was brought in to diagnose the issue, and after sending him some information about our set-up, computer specs, etc., he was able to spend a couple of hours with me and another church elder testing various settings in the streaming software, OBS, as well as other settings for the computer, mixer and wireless microphone.Ultimately, we determined that we'll need a more powerful PC, but Jim was able to help us adjust certain settings so that we can have a stable video stream with synced audio. The ultimate test will be this Sunday when we stream our church service for 60+ minutes, but we're optimistic that the help Jim provided will lead to success. Jim was knowledgeable, kind and patient throughout this process, and I would recommend his company to anyone looking for some tech support.
Victoria Voss's Review Sourced from Google
Jim is absolutely fantastic to work with! He's a wonderful listener and keen observer. He's present, kind, and attentive to his client's needs. He gives 100% attention and commitment and we are so grateful for his help with drone footage for our brand.

As someone who has an anaphylactic allergy I was worried for what set days would look like. The entire team was so attentive and made sure I was safe and fed. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Brenda freeman's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve worked with C&I Studios on many projects and they never fail to over deliver on expectations. The team is incredibly professional, creative as well as strategic. They understand brand storytelling with flawless execution. As a seasoned c-suite executive who has worked with some of the largest agencies in the world, C&I ranks right up there.
YGBL's Review Sourced from Google
Read there yelp reviews. We had a very successful event here, but once a problem about contract terms arose this team caused an uproar and trying to hold our equipment hostage to enforce an uncharge for storage. Very Criminal like and illegal. They ended up letting the doors open after a long day. But they are a mature group of immature business people.
