What Activity Directors would say: "I would not hesitate to call on Kamala again."
because passengers will say: "Kamala Appel would be an asset to any program!"
I had the pleasure of working
with Kamala of KEA Productions. She is
very professional. The footage was amazing; full of color and steady.
We
had a live concert and Kamala even climbed the stage to take great
shots
of the band (upon our request). As a result of this great work we were
able to use the material for the band's new music video. I would not
hesitate to call on Kamala again.
- Alejandro Ramirez, CEO Solfeo Promotions
The guys at East Bay Media Center said: 'Wow, this
is some of the best
stuff you guys ever shot . Everything has good, even exposure, good
composition, nice color and is overall very pleasing. Who shot this
stuff? I know it wasn't you, because you're in the shots -- Oh, Kamala
Appel, well that explains why it looks so good.' Thanks!
- Brian Miller, COO American Academy of Taste
Kamala is on my go-to list for any and all digital video needs . She is
a sharp, creative, and results-oriented professional who has helped me
do my job by providing excellent videos for my web clients. I highly
recommend her work.
- Monica Flores, 10K Group
We received your tape and it was excellent. Thanks
for doing a great job.
-Rebecca Goldman, SAGAS
The video is set to music and the process Kamala used to create the
video enabled her to represent the museum in a way that has never been
done before. Kamala caught the essence of who we are and was able to
create a 30 and 60 second video that we are continually using to market
the museum to various target audiences.
- Michelle Martin, Director of Marketing & Public Relations,
Coyote Point Wildlife Museum
Also on YouTube
Kamala Appel kept to her film schedule and was good
at
communicating any new ideas or changes that might come up. I am pleased
that she has chosen to continue to pursue her original ideas of helping
wildlife through film... I believe that with the help of talented
people like Kamala, we will continue to make a positive impact for
nature and the wild animals that live in our backyards and open spaces.
-Sherrill Cook, Director External Affairs
Kamala Appel of KEA Productions produced a short documentary
about Lakeview Branch Library in Oakland, CA, for a conference held in
Kunming, China. The return on investment of time and cost greatly
exceeded expectations.
- Mary Farrell, Branch Manager, Oakland Public Library Also available on Google.
I can't begin to tell you the kind of impact you had on our project.
Your knowledge, dedication and professional attitude really inspired
me.
Working with you had a positive impact not only on our project, but
also
on the featured artist.
As a result of
working with you, I learned about broadband technologies as well as the
use of green screen in a video production. I plan to use your advice
whenever I put together another new media event. I would definitely
call
on you again to head up any project involving web video or video
production.
- Mary Evans, Financial Services- Fortune 500
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many vendors and
service providers (in the music industry). I must say that from our
initial conversation down to
the pulling together and completion of the project Kamala was
professional, honest, insightful, and fully engaged in the process. I
was most impressed with the passion that she approached the project
with and the command she has on her craft. She is armed with pertinent
information about cutting edge technology and knows how to introduce
and
explain it to her clients without insult or injury. In the
entertainment
industry there is a lot of fluff that many times ends up undeliverable.
With Kamala, her forecasts were accurate. She got the job done both
cost
and time effectively. I am looking forward to working with her again.
-Desmond Pringle, Singer
Thank you, Kamala, for the fabulous job you did on my 30 second mini
doc. It's amazing how much you can communicate in so little time with
this kind of media. I've never done anything like this before so it's
kind of a leap of faith for me, but in those 30 seconds you can get a
sense of my personality, see how I dance and how I teach and hear what
my students think of me. It sure pays to hire someone who knows what
they're doing!
- Laurie Ann Lepoff, Principal, Social Dance for Shy People &
Klutzes
Kamala Appel of KEA Productions was wonderful with creating my
web commercial. Right from the beginning Kamala was professional. She
helped me figure out what wording I wanted to say. She always seemed to
ask the right questions. The shoot was fun to do. Even when I kept
messing up with the words, she never got frustrated with me. Her
turnaround was very quick with the final product. I will definitely
recommend KEA Productions, if anyone would like to have a webmercial.
- Danielle Kiehl, Realtor, Coldwell Banker
Kamala is a lively, inspiring speaker.
Kamala’s
passion is to help people shift their marketing perspective to include
using media in new, creative, and potent ways. She woke me up to the
idea that it is cost effective to do video on my website to help get my
message out and increase traffic to my website.
-Nancy Montier, Business Coach, East Bay Women's Network
Kamala’s knowledge, dedication and professional attitude
really
inspired me. As a result of working with Kamala, I learned a lot about
broadband technologies, especially web video and its role in online
marketing. I will definitely call on her again to speak at future
events.
- Mary Evans, Financial Services- Fortune 500
I was most impressed with the passion that she brings to speaking and
the knowledge she has about new media. She is armed with pertinent
information about cutting edge technology and knows how to introduce
and explain to it to others without insult or injury.
-Desmond Pringle, Singer
I prefer the revisionist spin of “Those who can, do and
teach.” A filmmaker in her own right, Kamala practices what
she
teaches. Dedicated to teaching and doing, Kamala Appel would be an
asset to any program.
-Susan Tavernetti, Faculty, DeAnza Community College
