Santa Cruz METRO

Danielle Glagola, Chief Communications & Marketing Officer, Santa Cruz METRO

I had the pleasure of working with Amotion.video as our drone photographer when opening a new location for New Leaf, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, he was incredibly helpful, responsive, and always approachable. His passion for photography shines through in his work, and the results were nothing short of stunning. The deliverables were not only beautiful but also perfectly aligned with our vision. It was clear that he takes great pride in his craft, and his skillset is exceptional. I will absolutely be hiring him again for future projects and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for top-tier drone photography!

New Leaf Community Markets

Rosie Eckerman, Design Lead

I have been involved with many media projects during my 50+ years of community building. I met Andrew via MAH and I have had him video Kathleen Crocetti’s Watsonville Brilliante Project, that will make Watsonville the Barcelona of America; Sandy Lydon’s talk about Chinese sailing across the Pacific in junks at the Chautaqua in Pacific Grove; Donna Mekis, Kathy Mekis Miller and Sandy Lydon speaking at the MAH about their iconic book; “Blossoms Into Gold: The Croatians of the Pajaro Valley.” All of these projects involved complex shoots and coordinating with various individuals and groups.

I am very very happy with Andrew’s professional and personal skills and plan to work with him, hire him for a long time.

George Ow, Jr.

Senior Trustee, Ow Family Properties

Andrew O’Keefe at Amotion is one of our museum’s key creative collaborators, serving both as our marketing partner and archival documentarian. As the MAH’s primary videographer and media producer, Andrew captures a wide variety of content, from exhibitions and festivals to vibrant community events. His beautiful and thoughtful work always reflects the color, energy, and spirit of his subjects, and his talents have helped us elevate our institutional brand through digital storytelling.

Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History

Robb Woulfe, Former Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH)

Working with Andrew is always an interesting experience in audiovisual storytelling. The Amotion brand is to integrate the “Why” and “Who” from the get-go, discovering the story as production unfolds, capturing dynamic content, and choreographing a tightly edited, beautifully produced, and intriguing bit of media that portrays a glimpse into what is in store when the viewer inevitably dives in to learn more.

Liminal Space Collective

Weston Mossman, Founder and Executive Director at Liminal Space Collective

Amotion.video did a fantastic job filming and live-streaming a very important event for our University. We found them to be warm and supportive, detailed and well prepared. They facilitated a really supportive follow up and post-production for all our media needs.

California Institute of Integral Studies

Crystal Erlendson, Creative Producer at California Institute of Integral Studies

My company has worked with Andrew and Amotion.video on multiple occasions over the last few years, each time producing quality work together. His knowledge in the field of media is vast. From the pictures he has taken to the video edits he has made for us, Andrew’s skill of storytelling shines through again and again. If you are looking for hard working, down to earth, expertise without the drama, look no further, Andrew’s the diamond in the rough.
