Amazing experience working with David and Jonathan! They were professional, punctual, and produced awesome first takes that I'm excited to polish and share with the world. I also appreciated their flexibility as some interview times shifted and working with us on a few takes to get our promotional video just right.

David and his team went above and beyond my expectations for my client's event recap video project. Super flexible and accommodating, friendly and creative on-site, and the final product was exactly what we were looking for. Can't wait to work with David again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer. Thanks again David and team!

Surreel in one word: AWESOME!! David and the Surreel Films team were amazing to work with for our Leadership Workshop. David is a creative and phenomenal videography guru who has top-notch equipment and an exceptional team. Leading up to our shoot, though, he showed us that his skills go well beyond videography: he expertly navigated all of the complications and unexpected logistics that emerged when filming in one of New York City's most secure buildings. We were thoroughly impressed with David's professionalism, personality, and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done at a very high level. We simply can't wait to work with David and his team again! They took all of the stress out of filming our workshop, so all we had to do was show up and do our thing. The sound and video footage captured was truly first-rate - I cannot imagine a better outcome! One major consideration of whether or not to hire a film crew is: will they alleviate, or add to, the intensity of your project? I know, first-hand, that David and Surreel provide the former and, for that, I am extremely grateful. I highly recommend David and Surreel Films for any of your videography needs!

Details: 5 minutes • Videography • As suggested by the professional • Multi-camera • One location

It was a pleasure working with David from Surreel Film. He was very easy to communicate throughout. He was very professional and did a great job shooting our testimonial video. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots we needed for the video. I would definitely recommend him and would happily work with him again.
