He works in a very professional, friendly & approachable manner, no request is too much trouble for him. From booking the dates, to the actual event, the editing & approval processes after the event, he is quick, efficient & produces wonderful results. On a busy show day when you are desperately running around Michael is very self-sufficient. The filming and editing create a beautiful keepsake for our students and parents who thoroughly enjoy watching the show time & time again. A favourite aspect is Michael's skilled 'backstage' footage - here he really captures the experience of the day from the dressing-room fun to the atmosphere in the wings. We can highly recommend LIKETHEVIDEOFILMS."
