I highly recommend Amotion.video for their outstanding work in strategic media production and the innovative use of archival media.

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.
