CLIENTS
Isaiah Brown
Communications Manager | Arts Non-Profit
"Working with Michael was a fantastic experience. He was the videographer for our 10-year anniversary concert, where we hosted a summit of student performers on stage. He beautifully captured the energy and magic of the event, providing us with high-quality memories that we’ll cherish. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and highly adaptable. His professionalism and calm presence were invaluable during such a complex event. I’d absolutely recommend his work to anyone looking for top-tier video production!"

"Time and again, Michael has consistently delivered us high quality image, sound, and graphics for countless video projects. His camera work, directing, and fast editing, helped increase our social media engagement for promoting our client services and brand. If you are needing services for web video content then I highly recommend hiring Michael to take care of your production requests."
Sarah Cole
Teacher | Sarah Cole Violin Studio
"Being so busy planning recitals for 34 students, I appreciated how Michael talked me through the day to know exactly what I wanted. Everything went so smoothly! The high quality audio, video and photographs of each student and a group shot were amazing! Within days of the event, Michael sent me all the media which was easy to download. He even helped me select several videos clips for social media reels and my website. He is quick to respond to emails, give prices and timelines that are clearly explained. Anyone who needs a special event captured, individual photography, or video storytelling should hire Michael Chernoff!"
Max Rykov
Media Specialist | HHMI
"Michael and I met at the Chroma Art Film Festival in Miami, FL. Since then we have worked on numerous projects together for graphic design, video captioning, and multimedia installation projects. His communication and quicky delivery time is only matched by his incredible knowledge of media production tools and processes."
Laura Christian
Documentary Film Producer | PlantPOP
"Michael shot a few short documentary projects for us in Buffalo, NY. He worked as the director, cinematographer, and editor, and overall did an excellent job. What sticks out to me most is his ability to get his film subjects comfortable on camera. That is not an easy task when working with people who have never been on camera before, but Michael seems to have a way of putting people at ease so they're more likely to share their stories. If you're looking for a good storyteller, he's your guy!"
Erik Weasenforth
Owner | Funworks LLC
"I frequently use Michael for video editing and 3D modeling and animation services. I am always so impressed by his level of imagination in the way he composes unique visual seqences and narratives for video production. The animated motions he applies to 3D character designs for my clients are done so well, and he never has any issues taking the corrective feedback I give. He is great to work with."
