Gary, I love the video you made for us, but it isn't just me anymore... Remember how it was such an uphill battle to convince everyone (other than me) that a wedding video would be awesome? My groom and my parents and his parents... Everyone thought it would be unneccessary and distracting and bothersome, blah blah blah. Well, I am happy to report that EVERYONE has changed their minds and are so happy to have the video. We have all enjoyed getting to remember our special day and seeing all those moments that we didn't see at the time. My husband loved the messages from our family and friends. My parents were thrilled to see more of guests who weren't in many photos, and to have a chance to enjoy and remember the day rather than focus on just the details. And my husband's parents have told me of their happiness with our video via text, so I can quote them directly: "Actually, it's the best wedding video we've ever seen. Your videographer made everybody look good, and the editing and pacing were excellent. The video really captured the spirit and feeling of the day. We enjoyed reliving those 2 days. Thank you for having a video made and sharing it with us. The quality of this one has made believers of us. It really has added to the enjoyment of your special day in a way that still photography cannot." So, thank you so much for your wonderful work preserving these memories for us (and, as an aside, for proving my point to our families about the value of having a good wedding video.) We couldn't possibly be happier - thank you!

We needed video interviews at my sweet 16. price was reasonable and he arrived early. He did a fantastic job. he even suggested certain details concerning lighting and sound before the event to make it all go smooth. he offered to create an edited video for us, but we declined as we are pretty video savvy! i would recommend him to others and definitely call him again for the next event that needs a professional videographer!

I cannot say enough good things about the great job Gary did for our school, Penrose elementary in Southwest Phila. Our school was applying for a large grant which needed a video, and we needed it done quickly. Gary did great work with our kids and teachers making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also quickly edited and delivered the finished the video and helped us submit it for review. Gary was also great at working with our special needs students. If I or my school ever needs any video services again, Gary will be the first and only person I will call. Sincerely Robert P. Carrozza RN MSN CRNP Penrose Elementary School Nurse

My experience with Films-4-Good overall was excellent. Mr. Chilutti filmed my father's full honors army memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery in September 2018. He captured almost every poignant moment of the service and event, of which there were so many. He went above and beyond to make sure the people that meant the most to our family were included and that my father's memory was forever recorded for generations to come. He didn't just do a video of the service, he managed to tell the whole army story through his clips and it was exceptionally well done. He also prepared a dvd montage of pictures of my father for the reception at the Women's Memorial afterward that was breathtaking and amazingly beautiful. Whatever I asked for, he did more. As an example, I asked for 3 copies of the service and he sent me 5 dvd's and a downloadable dvd drive. Also, I asked for a copy of the montage and he gave me 2 so I was able to give the extra one to my brother. The only thing that could have been improved upon was the date of completion of the video of the service. I would highly recommend going with Films-4-Good and requesting a deadline clause be added to his contract. Other than that, Films-4-Good gets a 12 on a scale of 10! Thank you so very much Gary Chilutti! Dr Caren Pressley

I never write reviews. But this man deserves it. I came across many people in my day but never have I came across someone as genuine and devoted as Gary. Gary puts his heart and soul into his work and the end result speaks for itself. When you hire somebody to capture your special day, you want that person to be accommodating and easy to work with. Gary is just that! He can get along with anyone. He has an amazing personality and he just makes you want to work with him. When you work with Gary, it's not like working with somebody that you paid for. It's like collaborating with a family member because Gary is not in it for the profit, he really cares about helping you on your special day and he becomes apart of it. Gary communicates with You throughout your entire journey and makes sure he pays attention to every detail of your desires. He doesn't leave anything out. He created the most touching, heartwarming video for my daughter on her surprise proposal and it brought many people to tears including myself. Gary is your Man! You won't regret it. He's worth every penny and then some!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I think it's best if we can speak directly so that I can fully understand their vision for the final product and as a direct way to ask and answer questions.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
It's impossible not to attend seminars and trainings on equipment and technique if one wants to grow as a professional while also being open to sharing with and learning from other professionals along the way.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Personal storytelling, commercial messaging and, above all, informing, involving and inspiring people around issues of importance have always been an incredibly strong passion for me.
