Current Films

videographers get in the way often. My wife and I would highly recommend him!

oto drone to take aerial video of us at the beach at our reception. The video was cinematically stunning and the music and footage was selected and edited beautifully. Thanks so much Zac and the rest of the team!

remely easygoing and accommodating to other vendors. If I had to do it all over again- I would DEFINITELY choose them!

ne, high quality hardware, etc.) which I think really made it more cinematic. They were incredibly easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable the entire time. He sent us both a condensed version and then the raw footage as well (special request on our side). Overall couldn't have asked for a better experience and would give our highest recommendation to his group!!

ie. I was beyond pleased with the result and would definitely recommend Current Films!

ough he agreed to work with my budget, it took months to get a hold of him to finalize the contract. But Sarasota is small and it's hard to find a good pro videographer without a travel fee. On the day-of, a hair catastrophe made me late for pre-ceremony pictures and Zac seemed willing to work with the schedule changes. In fact, he just didn't seem to care at all. After the ceremony he disappeared and we didn't see him until our first dance. Then he disappeared again and didn't appear until we cut the cake. Looking back, he was barely around and therefore missed special (planned) moments such as when we invited my grandparents onto the dance floor to commemorate their wedding anniversary. All in all, it seemed that Zac was only around for the "typical" moments and didn't work half the time. Although he obviously cannot capture everything, he acted like the day was insignificant and just another paycheck. After waiting 60 days for our DVD and not getting it, we called/emailed Zac with no response. A few days later I called from an unknown number and Zac answered. I explained that we'd planned our at-home reception according to the contract so we could show the wedding video there. He became defensive claiming that it wasn't his fault, that he was behind schedule and blamed us for our "expectations". He didn't mail it in time and we never got to show it. When we finally got it, we were shocked to see that the main camera was positioned behind a podium for the ceremony (blocking out half of us), the background music was a honky, hoedown tune and most of the video was of the venue/still objects. I still cry out of disappointment about it. I should have known that if someone isn't interested in your business, they aren't worth your time. ***I'd like to add that I think it's ironic this vendor has responded (see below) by asking me to email him. We know from experience that is the worst way to get in touch with him. Why should we make the effort to contact someone who will probably ignore us like he's done in the past? He never cared before and now he only cares about damage control. The damage is done. Even my husband is sitting here with tears in his eyes. You cannot go back in time and re-shoot the biggest day of our lives.

ly complaint. I had an extensive conversation with Zac letting him know what I wanted in a video. I am 40 years old and wanted something very "real" and I wanted to hear the real sounds of the day, I did not want a music video or anything cheesy. He was at our ceremony for 6 hours and we received about a 20 minute video that was dubbed over with cheesy music, cheesy slow motion clips, etc... Our first dance was only a clip (we did a choreographed dance so we were super excited to see how it looked and he did not get most of the dance. It was such a disappointment! I emailed Zac and he finally emailed me the raw footage after I persisted...I was determined to find a local company who could put the raw footage together into something that fit our personality. What he send only added a few minutes more...I didn't expect 6 hours of footage, but under 30 minutes was ridiculous....how did 6 hours convert to under 30 minutes? Zac eventually got "tired of me" and referenced my contract and said he had "artistic control" to basically do whatever he wanted. I thought it was interesting that it was our wedding day, I had a 30 minute phone conversation with him and was assured what I wanted was possible and then the end result was awful. I will have to pay someone to try to salvage it and re-work what we have. (The oddest thing is watching our wedding ceremony and there is this bad song playing in the background through the whole thing....but it's not our music. Totally distracting and weird..) I waited almost a year to write this review because I have never written a bad review in my life and I don't want to harm someone's business. But after being ignored for many months after being told I had to "pay more" for what I asked for in the first place...I don't want anyone else to experience the same disappointment. I can't ever get the day back, and I have wonderful memories but I had hoped to have the video to be able to help remember the day even more. Either find someone who really understands, or don't waste the money. I wish I would have asked many more questions! We spent 40K on our wedding and it was worth every penny except the $1800 we spent on this video. My only regret!

e wanted to capture the emotion of the day and the relationships. That was more important to us than awkward family poses and wedding "traditions". He delivered what we asked for and more, and was extremely professional the entire time. I will recommend Current Films to anyone. Please watch some sample videos... you'll see why!

fort into his work. If you want quality, you would use The Current Films as your videographer!!

and carefuly edited with a contemporary twist. The result approached exactly our theme: a warm and effortlessly elegant wedding. I strongly believe his background in fashion has tremendously added to develop a sharp, crisp quality video, incorporrating an engaging story telling with timeless soundtrack. We couldn't ask for more and we strongly reccomend his services not only for weddings, but any sort of video where you would like to show personality and have a distinct language. It was a pleasure working with you! D&R

edibly artistic and elegant, and just spot on to the memory of how we felt on our wedding day. Our communication with Current Films (Zac) was really easy, we felt he really "got us" right away and did an outstanding job with every detail and handling of schedule on the wedding day. Thanks again for making the memories of our union come to life! Brides- Keep an eye out for this one, and book way in advance because they're going to be hard to get pretty soon!

myself and I am used to this industry, however when its you it becomes overwhelming with all the tiny and large details. Money is something that adds up quickly in the planning process and to be honest, the things you'll remember aren't going to be all the odds/ends but reliving day itself. I am so THANKFUL I decided on going with not only a wedding video, but a Current Film. It brings out the emotion, love, and creativity in such a perfect way. Please reach out to Zac if you are one that is second guessing or can't decide on a videographer. It's certainly something you will treasure for the rest of your life.

etrospect, this was easily the best investment we made. Zac arrived early on the wedding morning and we set some ground rules. Me: "Am I supposed to look at you? I feel rude not including you in the conversation..." Zac: "Good morning, I'm happy to be here and this day is about you guys and your families. Just ignore me." So, the rest of the day I completely ignored Zac and probably forgot he was there. Little did I know, he was busy working his magic. He worked with our wedding planner and our photographer ahead of time to make sure he was where he needed to be. He captured the bride and the groom separately getting ready, our venue before anyone arrived, the bride's first moment with her father, the first look, the walk down the aisle, all the speeches...and then he captured the little things..the things that we couldn't quite remember but knew we wanted to...the business partner playing a yard game with the ring bearer, my great-aunt wrapping a scarf around the father-of-the groom's neck to lure him on the dance floor, the reaction the groom had when opening his card from the bride. The little moments that you don't get to see, but hope that you would, Zac captured. We have both the short "highlight reel" and the longer video. I thought we'd watch our wedding video once and put it away for 10 years. Not only do we share the video with friends, but sometimes we'll sit on the couch together and pull the highlight reel up on our phone and watch it. In the last 5 months, we've probably watched the video nearly 40 times...sharing it with relatives, with friends, when we want a little extra smile. And as if simply capturing the moments wasn't enough, his filming is so beautiful, we were able to take stills from the video for moments when Zac was there but our photographer was somewhere else in the crowd. Not only would I book Zac to film our wedding all over again, I find myself looking for excuses to hire Zac. Maybe my parents' anniversary, a birthday party, a completely random Tuesday night dinner?

iful than it was in real life. I recommend them to all of my friends. (I wasn't even signed up for the knot when we had our wedding but I signed up later just so I could leave a review! That's how happy we were!)

te things we did for our wedding", I broke down and asked him to do it. From the beginning Zac was so professional and down to earth and after seeing one of his videos and talking, my soon to be husband and I instantly got excited. They day of the wedding I hardly knew he was there. He knew what he wanted to get and did it in a timely and organized/creative manor. After receiving our video I watched it probably 100 times. It was the most beautiful and magical recap of a wedding I've ever seen. All the girls at my work wanted Current Films to do their weddings after seeing our video. He didn't just capture "the wedding" but what getting married is all about. He understood us from the get go and ran with it. We couldn't have been blessed more with someone so talented to recapture our love. Literally, every bride should hire him. You won't be disappointed.
