I spent well over an hour researching different VHS conversion companies. I ended up going with Concept One to convert approximately 90 VHS tapes to a digital format. I could not be happier! Nancy did a fantastic job converting each tape. She labeled each digital file with a brief description and ensured each tape converted at a high quality. A few of my tapes were troublesome, and Nancy actually experimented with different machines and equipment until those troublesome tapes converted at a high quality. I am so happy I went with Concept One. If you want your family treasures converted the right way by a reputable company, go to Concept One and ask for Nancy!

S Gibson's Review Sourced from Google
Poor Technical & Customer ServiceFIND ANOTHER OPTION TO RECORD YOUR EVENT. AVOID VIDEO PARACHUTE. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!!!Below are facts related to the day of the event including direct exchanges with both TW, the owner and JB, the videographer. I am using initials because as clients we were never given full names, just initials. Hmmmm.The technician, JB, was booked for a ½ day contract (4 hours) upon TW’s recommendation. TW is the owner On the day of the event, I called and spoke directly to TW by phone at 3:40pm to ensure his technician would arrive by 4p to capture behind the scenes set-up and footage. TW assured me JB would arrive at 4p. (Excellent so far. We were able to speak to an actual person, TW, who knew what was supposed to be happening!)When JB arrived on time (going great so far!) I introduced myself to him and walked with him to the stage where I clearly said “Please be sure to get this behind the scenes, pre performance footage”. He agreed to do so and then said ‘...he needed to set-up and scope out Orchestra Hall for additional recording points.’ (Great,again!) All three members of our team, including the lead performer, verbally confirmed with JB to capture specific shots explaining how he could access the stage for closeups. JB agreed with these directives. (Still going well at this point).None of our team members saw JB for over two hours. We did not hear from him, nor did he ask any questions of us (The decline begins) Disappointingly, we know he did not follow those requests he agreed to because the footage sent to the performer after the show was of remarkably poor quality. To be clear the footage is usable, but fails to meet the basic industry standards. JB’s footage:-was filled with angles that were too far from the subject-did not provide clear or sustained viewing of the subject or the intricate movements associated with the performer.-did not capture the multiple facets of the evening's performance-lacked fluidity and continuity-failed to capture the behind the scenes/ pre setup he agreed to recordPART 2:In the post recording meeting between the performer and TW, I listened first hand to T.W. as the concerns about the product were presented to him. He offered that “I am sorry you feel this way” statement which does not take accountability for the poor quality recording and inadequate preparation by the technician. So, hold on there, TW. We are addressing the visual factual evidence, not feelings.It becomes obvious TW promised more than he and his team could deliver. As a small business owner I actually understand why this happens and could have had some compassion for his position. UNTIL…1. Instead of taking accountability for the obvious lapses (TW has the actual recorded evidence of the JB, his own employee, missing key parts of this process) TW repeatedly spoke at the client overly aggressively and even cutting off the client when they responded.2.When asked to produce the notes he took based on the schematic the performer presented, he could not produce his own notes.To be clear, we entered into this contract willing to pay the fees for specific services rendered and those services were never delivered. We received a variation of what was initially agreed upon. At each moment when TW could have offered compromise and solutions, he was unable to extend the maturity and professionalism needed when complex issues arise. Our team entered into this initial contract hoping to cultivate a long term client relationship with Video Parachute. Instead we are left with no choice but to deal with inadequacies and warn others to move past this company. Quick.

I participated in a video shoot promoting the Share Food Share Love Food Pantry Motion Source was very professional. It made the whole experience seem very easy and natural. The entire video team knew their tasks and preformed them expertly. They really loved seeing photos of my Greyhound GARY see attached photo

We recently partnered with Motion Source to produce a new day-in-the-life and sizzle reel video for our agency, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were fantastic collaborators—taking the time to truly understand our culture, our vision, and what makes us unique. The team was incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful throughout the process, and the final videos exceeded all expectations. Michelle, in particular, was an absolute joy to work with. I can’t recommend Motion Source highly enough!

We used Motion Source to shoot promotional videos for our retail store and we could tell right away, we were in good hands with Craig and his team. The production level was much more than we expected and the process was just so easy. Craig and his team are incredibly easy to work with and we'll definitely be using them again next year! Thanks for everything!

Our company worked with Brad to create a couple of videos for internal and marketing purposes. Brad was very helpful in creating the content and responded quickly to all of my questions and requests. We are very happy with the end results.

Our organization was in Chicago for an event, and we needed to find a videographer quickly to join us to shoot a series of interviews with organization leaders. I'm so thankful we found Brad and BP Video! Not only was Brad responsive to our needs, but he was fast and efficient upon arriving and delivered to us the raw footage in exceptionally high quality and within a couple of days of the shoot. Next time we are in Chicago and have a video need, Brad will be the videographer I work with. I highly recommend him and BP Video!

tl;dr - professional + personal = praiseworthyOur parish is part of the Diocese of Joliet restructuring plan. We were hosting a listening session where a diocesan representative would come to share information about the plan for our feedback. We wanted to livestream the session for those who couldn't attend as well as archive it to our website, so we looked for a company experienced in video productionSearching around, I found Brad at BP Video. I chose him because he was local as well as having experience producing video at a local Christian church. We had our initial meeting to walk-through and explain what we hoped to achieve, especially as this was a 1st time event for both of us. He has many ideas as though would be a challenging shoot - the speaker would be nearly fifty feet away and we'd have to shoot while remaining out of the view of the participants. Brad and his team was able to accomplish this for a very reasonable costI can't recommend Brad and his team at BP Video highly enough - in addition to their skills, they are faith-filled men. To me, this adds immeasurable value to the work they do
