Hi RJ,
I enjoyed and got a lot out of your session on professional video biographies because it was comprehensive, covering all the things I need to hear about the process: what equipment and how to use it; methods in interviewing; how to communicate with the client.  You covered a great deal very specifically because you talk fast, don't waste time and still have time for questions - an important component.  Good handouts, too.
Thanks.

Dear RJ & Staff,
On behalf of myself and my family I want to thank you so very, very much for doing 
the DVD for Dave's funeral reception and for adding in the beautiful shots of Dave at
Carla's wedding.  That was awesome!  I can't even begin to tell you how many people
came up to us at the reception and called us to tell us how much they enjoyed watching
it.  You really did a super job.  I must tell you that I have watched it at least a dozen
times since Dave passed away.  It makes me feel so good to see him and hear his
voice.  I am so terribly lonely without him but watching the DVD makes me happy
and not so sad..  I am so grateful for having done the DVD.  It couldn't have been a 
better gift from our children and having it done so professionally by you and your crew
will be so wonderful for our future generations to watch and know what this family is
all about.  Thank you for being so compassionate and thank you for being our friend.
With deep appreciation.
Fran and Family





A Testimonial from John "Bud" Hawk (Medal of Honor recipient)

"I attended a workshop at the APH Annual Convention lead by RJ McHatton about Professional Video Biographies, and I had the chance to learn a lot about this discipline.

He represents the synthesis of the highly experienced technician, an excellent professional, a clever entrepreneur, a very didactic speaker and a great person, and maybe a more important issue is that he had been absolutely generous to share his experiences with his colleagues without reserves.
I was completely satisfied and grateful with this workshop experience.”

Eduardo Zemborain, CEO of My Special Book

"Dear RJ,
The DVD you made for our fundraiser brought together the 
various parts of the mission of the Holocaust Center in a clear visual message.
Everyone who saw it went away with an emotional message of the Center's
work in this community."

Co-Executive Director
Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center

"Dear RJ,  Thanks for one totally cool workshop.  You rocked the room with
your expertise.  I love that you've turned an intricate production into a simpler
one, using your proprietory tools.  Thanks so much for sharing--It was a 
pleasure to meet you!"

"Hi RJ,  I just wanted to take a minute and thank you again for the wonderful
presentation at our Rotary Meeting.  I received several emails and phone calls
saying how much people enjoyed your program.  We would love to have you
come back in the future and update us on how things are going with you
and your passions.  Several people also asked if they could possibly get
your list of 99 questions also.  Let me know if that is okay.  Again thank
you so much for coming, it was truly a pleasure meeting you. "

I just read your list of upcoming events. You crack me up putting your kids first day of school right out there for all of us to read! That is terrific. That sounds like something I would have done.
Are your Jason & Crissy twins?
 
Thanks for all the video samples. I'm so glad for your business to be thriving as it looks to be. Don't you just love being able to earn a living doing something you have a passion for? Many, many years of success to you and your family.

Hi RJ. 
This morning I woke up with a strong desire to hear and see my Mom again--I can't explain
the feeling.  I got out the "This is My Life" video of Ruth (my mom) and played it for myself.
I felt so much better after seeing it and was thinking what a wonderful invention you have
put together.  Your office did such a spectacular job of capturing Mom's memories and
they are so meaningful to me...I am eternally grateful for this video and will treasure it
forever.  Thank you so much.
