What Our Clients Say About Our Work

There is nothing quite so gratifying as a happy client — one who, after using our films in the field, is willing to write about his/her experience.  Here is a sampling of the many client letters over the past four years:

“The story telling, weaving demonstrations with interviews, was masterful.  We couldn’t be happier.  Over the years I have worked with several video production companies.  I would unquestionably rank DigiNovations as the best.” [see complete letter]

— Prof. Victor Zue; Co-Director, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

“Michael Kolowich and his team are extraordinary storytellers and superb communications strategists. … The result of [our] collaboration is a film that captures beautifully the Museum of Science’s vision. It is cleverly adaptable to many different audiences and different situations.” [see complete letter]

— Ioannis Miaoulis, President, Museum of Science, Boston

“When we planned to launch our capital campaign in the fall of 2008, we knew that we needed to tell the Boston College story visually. At the same time, we felt strongly that whatever we showed our guests needed to resonate as something that was uniquely BC.

When we looked at what other institutions produced for similar efforts, some impressed us but none felt as though they would translate well to our environment. Fortunately we decided to hire the DigiNovations team and found that they were just as focused on telling the Boston College story, and committed to a partnership that yielded tremendous results. The alumni interviews provided a framework that was genuine yet compelling, and the overall tone, look and feel fit well with our institution’s ethos and with the campaign’s theme.

In short, DigiNovations delivered terrific results and they were a pleasure to work with.”

— James Husson, Senior VP for University Advancement, Boston College

“Congratulations to you and your colleagues on a marvelous film. You somehow learned a very complex device (electronics, math, cardiology etc) within a very short time, and captured it all in a short and very effective video — we will use it in many ways.

The editing was superb — the flow of ideas from one speaker to another, interspersed with images, and the right music, is a work of art.

I hope we will have the privilege of working with DigiNovations again.”

— Dr. James Muller MD; CEO and Chief Medical Officer, InfraReDx; Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

“DigiNovations did an absolutely magnificent job of bringing the Maine Woods Initiative to life through stunning footage of the 100-Mile Wilderness region and insightful interviews with those involved first-hand in this ambitious effort. The natural beauty of the area really comes through in the video, as does the unique recreational experience provided by our Maine wilderness lodges”

— Walter Graff, Deputy Director, Appalachian Mountain Club

“The compliments poured in from customers and passers-by alike. Our president and CEO both noticed and appreciated your attention to detail in displaying our collective company images. The quality of your work reflects the amount of experience you have in the industry and your ability to convey messages across different markets.” [see complete letter]

— Michael Payne; VP Marketing & Business Development, Microwave Radio Communications

“The “Accident over Boyceville” video really captures and brings out the emotional component of our product. It tells the story that has motivated us to develop this product from the beginning in a way that our customers can connect with and relate to. In the video piece that relates to ease of installation, your idea of using the experience of an actual aircraft owner through the day of installation was brilliant, and I believe it addresses one of the main potential objections for an interested customer (downtime and invasiveness of installation). Great job!

I also need to comment on how quickly your team was able to learn what matters about AmSafe and our product, generate ideas, assemble the video, and produce the resultant top-quality product. Thank you again and I look forward to undertaking future projects with Diginovations. ” [see complete letter]

— Ken Beckemeyer, President & CEO, AmSafe

“We made the right move when we hired Michael and DigiNovations to create and manage MittTV, the online video campaign for Mitt Romney’s presidential bid. The political press recognized our site as the leader on the Republican side. Michael’s team created original video product, and managed hundreds of hours of video captured from secondary sources. His team also worked closely with the advertising group, pulling off last minute shoots around the country that ended up in our spots. Michael is one of the few gray hairs in a business dominated by kids. Hire him. “

— Will Feltus, Senior Vice President, National Media (communications advisor to the 2008 Romney Presidential Campaign)

“[The video] has continued to garner rave reviews as we have used it on customer visits.  In fact, the senior procurement officer at a major US aerospace manufacturer commented it was the ‘best vendor video’ he had ever seen.” [see complete letter]

— Raynard Benvenuti, President and CEO, Stellex Aerostructures

“I’ve known and worked with Michael Kolowich for many years. He’s been a strategic thinker and successful CEO since the beginning years of the Web. DigiNovations brings together his award winning skills as a videographer with his deep understanding of organizations and how they can best convey their stories online. Behind the scenes at DigiNovations are leading edge systems that Michael has built that far surpass other video production companies.”

— Peter Marx, President, Legal Insight Media

“Just over a week after the film’s screening…folks on campus, as well as trustees, alumnae/i, parents, and friends of the school, are still abuzz about its allure and impact.

Having worked as a film and video producer in the past, this was my first experience as a film client and it was entirely positive. It was easy for me to recognize the level of expertise and professionalism of the entire DigiNovations team. Your innovative ideas and ability to tell an impactful and engaging story were among the key things that made our project successful.” [see complete letter]

— Tara Bradley, Director of Communications, Concord Academy

“Your amazing talent is well appreciated. Your work will be not only crucial to the success of the campaign, but will preserve forever a very important time in the history of the institution. The video is excellent.

— Wayne Bouchard, Chief Operating Officer, Museum of Science, Boston

“Exceeding all expectations, [the film] was a work of art that powerfully conveyed the essence of Revels and communicated the Revels mission and programming in a way that is unprecedented for the organization.  The skill and vision in which DigiNovations wove narrative, music and video clips inspired, informed, and uplifted all who saw it.”

— Olivia Woodford, Development Director, Revels

“The DigiNovations team did a tremendous job on this project, from helping to flesh out our concept to working independently with our faculty.  They really understood what we’re doing and brought so much more to the project than shooting and editing the video.” [see complete news story] 

— Eve Downing, Director of Outreach, Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies at MIT

“DigiNovations focused and translated our vision into an effective tool for energizing our constituents.” [read news story]

— Thomas J. Haynes Jr., VP for University Advancement, Montclair State University
