We have engaged Independent Media on several occasions. They are always professional, reliable, flexible and produce excellent materials. Our most recent engagement was very demanding with a short turnaround and requiring a lot of creative license - and Stacy delivered! We will continue to work with Independent Media in the future.

These guys (Stacy, Steve and Bill) are fantastic to work with. I saw the great reviews they had and that's why I selected them. They are very patient, put everyone at ease and operate their equipment very well. The editing, timing and added visual materials gave us an end product video that was beyond our expectations. I'll be definitely coming back to them for future projects and I highly recommend them to others.

Independent Media recorded video at our annual scientific conference in Austin, Texas, and we are extremely impressed with their outstanding work and professionalism. Steve and Stacy are experienced video professionals with knowledge, quality equipment, creativity, and vision. Their edit of four days of difficult scientific presentations shows an understanding and attention to detail that is above and beyond what we ever expected from a video production company.

AANP Education Department enjoyed working with Independent Media from the information gathering stage through to the final product! Steve made us feel comfortable with their experience in doing what we wanted. Stacy and Bill expertly kept our recording moving with little touches that made a big difference in the final product. This was our first time to use a production studio for an educational program and we are nothing but pleased with the whole experience. I am sure we will be calling on them again in the future.

Steve and Stacy did a promotional video for our company. They did a very professional and thorough job of explaining what our company does. I would highly recommend Independent Media to anyone that is needing any kind of a video production completed. They are very diligent and very detail orientated to give a firm a very great video production. Their rates are very reasonable and they produced our video within the time and budget forecasts. We would use Stacy and Steve in the future for all of our media needs.

Independent Media Productions performed both the recording and video processing for our AppSecUSA conference in Austin TX. Even though we gave them little notice, they came into the conference and set up quickly, in a professional manner. Their presence was barely noticed as they recorded the sessions. The quality of the videos produced was outstanding, both in video and sound quality, their rates were reasonable, and the turnaround time for production was very good.
Also it should be noted that Stacy Formby, who handled the video production, worked with me very quickly to both tweak and deliver the videos quickly and efficiently. I would certainly use Independent Media Production again for our next conference. David Hughes AppSecUSA 2012 Conference Chair.
