FD Productions

My decision to enlist the services of FD Productions for my Post Production requirements proved to be a game-changer. Their work on Visual Effects, Sound Design, Narrative Flow, and Tone surpassed all my expectations, leaving me awestruck. The dedication and commitment shown by the team made it evident that they were invested in my promotional video. Being more than just a service provider, they became a true partner in bringing my vision to life. With a commitment to quality and excellence, FD Productions left no stone unturned in ensuring that the final product was impressive and of the highest possible standard. Going forward, it is my sincere desire to engage FD Productions for all my future Post Video production projects.

Shaun accomplished the task I urgently needed in a limited 12-hour timeframe. Despite the short notice, he didn't compromise on the project's quality, putting in effort to refine and revise based on my feedback. Remarkably, we only required one round of revisions, an unprecedented feat given my meticulousness. Much obliged, Shaun! I'll be sure to enlist FD's services again down the line.

In the upcoming year, I will celebrate my 60th year working in public television. A portion of this time was spent at KQED-SAN FRANCISCO, a prestigious station within the PTV system. Starting in the late 1950s as a Stage Manager-Floor Director, I later advanced to the position of Production Assistant, Producer-Director, and ultimately became the Executive Producer of both Local and National Production, as well as EP of all On-Air promotion and fund-raising. I have had the pleasure of producing various esteemed performances, including THE THREE TENORS, LES MISERABLES IN CONCERT, FRANK SINATRA-THE VOICE, and concerts by PERRY COMO (an Irish Christmas), HARRY BELAFONTE, and CAROL KING. Furthermore, throughout the past 19 years as an independent producer, I have co-produced and directed biographical performance specials featuring The Mamas and the Papas, The Kingston Trio, and Liberace. Currently, I am in the process of developing a special on the beloved Bandleader-composer GLENN MILLER. Recently, I was tasked with producing and directing a 7-minute short documentary on my late 91-year-old sister Renee Cary. Due to her unfortunate passing in July, the version I initially put together had to be revised for a 10am run thru Friday morning. Fortunately, the Coordinator of the Event granted me permission the following day to send them an updated version to be downloaded later that day onto her laptop. In order to complete this task, I searched for Santa Barbara editors and found CrackerJack. They asked me important questions to help them suggest the appropriate personnel who could complete the job within the day. Ultimately, Shaun Khan of FD Productions was recommended due to his exceptional skills and amiable personality. Despite him being in LA while I was in Santa Barbara, Shaun introduced the idea of us conducting the edit session via Skype. Through this, I was able to see and hear every edit he made on my iPad after we had discussed the details of the project down to the speed of the dissolves between photos.

Shaun is highly recommended for editing services, as he was excellent to work with. I hired him to assemble a short film that I had previously shot. Despite not having access to all of the on-set notes, Shaun was able to quickly comprehend the narrative and direction I wanted for the piece. As someone who works with editors frequently, I can attest that Shaun is one of the best I have worked with. He takes direction efficiently and is truly invested in producing the best possible outcome for the project. I look forward to working with Shaun again in the future.

The quality of the video shooting delivered by FD Productions was excellent, and I received it within a day. Their knowledge and expertise were impressive, and I would highly recommend their services. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
