Michael Young is my favorite videographer ever. He completed two past project for me that met all my expectations and then some. He is easy going and very intuitive and also fun to watch work. He is good working with people, children and pets. I currently have a new project I want to discuss with him but his business has suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic that has shut business down and sheltered everyone in place.

So he can't work at this time and may not be able to do so in time for my project became this pandemic may last another six months or year. I'm saddened by this unfortunate turn of events. You can find him on FaceBook and youTube if you want to see some of his short videos that have been posted to a public forum.

Michael Young is one of my favorite authors and movie makers. I first started showing his work to my son when he was young. The music and stories he created were simple and excellent teaching tools. This hasn't changed. In fact, his short stories have gotten even better over time. Michael and I have stayed in touch and he occasionally sends me new releases of his work before they are distributed publicly. A dear man and excellent communbicator.

I find the works of this video company very fascinating. His historical documentaries are very educational and thoughtfully researched. I love the DVD "The Passing of the Old West. His other works are surreal and extremely beautiful. The background music is well orchestrated and in harmony with the subject. Very beautifully done! Some of the works are personally narrated by Michael Young.

His mellow voice is at once soothing and low key, then rises and falls to a dramatic conclusion. I especially enjoy listening to the poetry he blends into his nature shoots. It reflects a wisdom and consciousness of the creator of our beautiful planet. He gives credit where credit is due. For this I applaud him and recommend adding his works to your movie library. He has a website (Frogprintz Prouctions) and a LinkedIn page where you can see examples of his productions. You won't be disappointed.

My close family friends introduced me to the work of Michael Young. I was hooked within the first 30 seconds. His subject matter brings out deep emotions and a longing to see parts of the earth I've never been to. The music is beautiful and the poetry he wrote to draw you in and set the right tone, is amazing. We've purchased approximately 50 of his DVD's.

All 50 are true gems. I would buy more, accept they are hard to find and I understand that Michael has now retired. I found a few on eBay and Amazon and will keep looking. I fully recommend Frog Printz Productions for excellent family values and one of a kind entertainment joy.

Frogprintz Productions took our corporate ideas and turned them into a masterful video. This enhanced our products and service in ways we never thought possible before. Our market share was much improved and our sales team had a new way of presenting our offering to our customers. Well worth our investment. PC eSupport National Computer Repair Center

I was impressed from the moment the music started. Michael's visual escapes and outstanding music selections are peaceful and life enriching. I recommend this artist to all who appreciate the beauty of natures sound and imagery. This one is my favorite:

I owe so much to Mike...after being killed off in the 80s there's not much work for a bandit slug...but I've found a home at frog prince productions...I'm learned that the spotlight isn't all it's cracked up to be...steady work as a dancing frog extra has given me the peace and fulfillment I was missing. I wish we had him for the carbonate scene! He could have made me thinner!!! No more empty bounty hunting for me. Mike showed me a new way. Thank you for all you do...hr showed me you don't have to remain a slug in life! A frog's life awaits!!

I was going through some rough times - you know - lady troubles - and Mike was not only there for me professionally, but as a life coach too. Finally, someone came along who was brave enough to level with me and let me know the truth about my personal hygiene issues! It's hard being a wookie. All of the hair in my nose made me clueless as to why my relationships would go south so quickly. Mike is such a ladies man and I appreciate all of his wise council - even if it was tough to swallow at times! Thanks Mike! Oh - he's also pretty good with a Nikon. Excellant glamour shots my man!

Wow. So beautiful and so amazing. Your work is simply stunning like an icecream sundae for the eyes and ears. My boyfriend bought me a DVD set as a gift. I found you on the internet and bought more. I love the DVD Chasing after the light. Perfect to relax by after work and makes me dream of the far away places I could travel to myself. Thank you sooooo much.

Michael's work is where I turn when I need to escape from stress and anxiety. His idyllic work draws from beautiful nature scenery that makes me long to run away there. As a customer, I value his work greatly. I would like someday to meet him in person since I am sure that his experience has shaped him into a wonderful man. I was introduced to his work by a close friend who has met and worked with Michael.

She tells me his warm smile and encouraging, upbuilding style draws people close to him. This is unlike many of the Directors and Producers I'm used to. His work is in limited distribution, but if you're like me, it's worth acquiring if you need something other than alcohol, drugs, and bad relationships to relax and get your bearings.

I have nothing but positive acclaim for my good friend Michael Young. His talents are unique and his work inspiring. He never argues his ideas, instead, he creates a vision that almost anyone can appreciate and then goes about making this vision a reality. He has a quiet demeanor but unbounded energy to do whatever is necessary to achieve the best possible result.

I found him a real pleasure to work with and at the end of a work day he softens the fatigue with humor and genuine compliments. The only question I have is "Where was he 30 years ago and why didn't he emerge to the top then?" Some precious discoveries come too late in life. Michael is one of them.

Collaborated with me on a BBC Production of famous 16th century castles. Marvelous results. Captured the essence of the period and traits of the characters. Well worth the cost.

Didn't disappoint. When I saw his documentary "Leap Frog," about the annual Calaveras Country frog jumping contest I was convinced our search was over.

Michael Young is fabulous! He's a gentle, sweet man who makes excellent movies. He's a proven professional with that extra touch. He does it all, writes, directs, and cinematographizes the whole shebang. Really, really funny on set, kept us laughing throughout the production. He managed our project from start to finish. Most fun I've had since forever.

Mike is soft spoken with a purposeful, kindly, generous spirit. His films find simple ways to bring out heartfelt emotions in his audience. He is easy going and a marvelous teacher. His life philosophy is one of doing for others and respect for the well-being of all creatures great and small. I met Mike in Dublin, Ireland while he was producing a documentary about Irish pubs and we naturally hit it off. He makes a charming drinking buddy with his wit, humor and innumerable limericks. He can wax poetic and will do so when asked. I am a fan and count him a friend!

Our family loves Mike's style and wholesome family values. He is a funny, clever, polished producer of memorable short films that teach life lessons. No one is doing this anymore that I know of. Check out his work and you will see what I mean. Highly recommended.

Michael Young is a phenomenal producer who completely engages his crew when the camera rolls. I had the privilege of working with Michael on a promotional documentary about the fine arts community. He and Lyle Waggoner hit it off with their shared interests in amusing sculpture. I continue to admire his unrelenting pursuit of excellence in his composition, as well as his openness to different, sometimes unconventional ideas and direction. Truly an amazing person through and through. Fun too!

Michael Young is a great person to work with, blending visionary thought leadership with excellent organizational abilities and the highest levels of integrity. A true pioneer in the field of emerging filmmaking techniques, Michael has assembled an impressive library of video works. He established a network of talented people that collaborate in order to make the world a better place by empowering people to share their stories through the art of filmmaking and storytelling techniques. I recommend Michael very highly, and if you get the chance to work with him, go for it!

Mike Young, is a very impressive artist. Unlike most that tend to walk in the shadows of another, Mike walks alone, and he does it with confidence, inner drive, perseverance, and his unquenchable flair. His use of music and cowboy poetry, which he blends into his western videos is commendable and I would highly recommend him to any company or individual in the Biz.

There is a reason creative people continue to create, and when they succeed, the result is oftentimes a surprise balanced only by the effort. Magnificent art doesn't come easy except for a few. Michael Young is only viable if your desire is to make works of beauty and meaning.

I have known Michael Young for at least ten years. He is a reliable, committed person who follows through on his obligations, and does excellent work. Furthermore, I know him to be a loving animal care advocate -- a good indication of a person's humanity in general. If the opportunity arises, I would gladly work with Michael Young again, and I heartily recommend him to any prospective client for whom his qualifications seem appropriate.

I am fortunate to have worked with Michael. He is a true professional and a pleasure to know--he understands what is needed and delivers it. He is inspirational---and an inspired----voice. His talents as writer, director and mentor are manifest and varied.

Michael is one of my favorite people.

I am very pleased to recommend Michael Young. He is a rare video artist that well knows how to inspire, teach, and encourage others through the medium of his work. I have purchased nearly everything he has produced. Each work is a beautiful gem of quality that touches the emotions of the soul.

Shift your perspective... experience the difference. Michael is a friend, colleague, and collaborator. His work stands out from the crowd. If you are making a committee decision, he is also a wonderful and humorous speaker. Soft hearted, creative, and when needed, silly, children especially are drawn to his short stories and vignettes. I watched him sit in a circle of little girls and boys and make them giggle and laugh. Simply endearing.

Intelligent, thoughtful, intuitive. These are the qualities that all good story tellers have in common. Michael Young has them in abundance.

The quality of this production company is the best we have ever used. They offer a wide range of services that will keep your entire project under the control of one provider. Excellent communication and feedback. Get your project scheduled early, because this company is so good it has a backlog up to six months.

Truely impressive. The founder of Frogprintz Productions, Michael Young, offers a unique and refreshing approach to creative video projects. You've probably seen his work on TV, just don't recognize the name behind the talent. He's generous with his advice, even if he doesn't offer you a contract. Very excellent sense of humor. Very precise in his techniques. Small company. Great employees. Huge talent.
