Testimonials

Sometimes we blush a little from the encouraging feedback we've received from our customers and friends. But it's our internal passion that gets us out of bed early everyday, as we truly get just as excited producing your DVD movie as perhaps you do receiving it. Here's just a few of our more recent motivating customer comments...

"The imagination, talent and skills exhibited by Shari resulted in a production piece unsurpassed. The video, created by Shari, captured the importance of giving to our financial need based students. Her use of artistry through the pictures she selected, the music and the verbage resulted in an emotional and mission filled piece that will withstand the one time event for which it was produced. Shari did a masterful job and we cannot thank her enough."

"I became familiar with One Special Dream after the firm produced personalized videos for two senior executives at my company who retired. I was so impressed with the high quality of the productions that I hired the firm for a personal project: transferring thousands of slides to DVD that my parents had shot of our family over three decades. There were so many slides that it took seven DVDs to hold them all. One Special Dream enhanced the quality of the photos, dubbed in music appropriate to the era and added special effects to produce the DVDs. My entire family has been thrilled to be able to revisit our personal history through these DVDs. They really brought our past back to life."

"I heard about One Special Dream from a friend who used the concept for his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I thought it sounded like just the right thing for my law firm's 20th anniversary holiday party. It was so easy on my part. All I had to do was compile photographs I wanted to use, and different songs for the soundtrack, and Shari did all the rest. I was even able to do the whole thing by mail. She let me view the finished product before committing to it, and it was easy to order extra copies of the final DVD when it was over. My law firm loved the DVD and now we have a permanent record of the history of the firm on DVD instead of in photograph albums that take up space or even get lost or damaged over the years."

"One Special Dream did an incredible job on the two video she worked on for me. She was very helpful at selecting music that captured the spirit of the person featured and was able to save me a significant amount of time and energy in compiling my pictures in a meaningful format. Shari was a great find and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful timepiece for special memories."

"This is our third consecutive year of using One Special Dream for a very special Christmas movie featuring our three year old son, Jackson Cole. The movie is a gift to our families and friends showing all the important events and happenings for Cole during the year. One Special Dream does a wonderful job of synchronizing music with pictures and adding just the right visual imagery to bring excitement and fun to the movie. We love working with them and plan to use them for our daughter's graduation."

"Dear Shari,
if it weren't for you extreme vision and keen sense of creativity we would not have been able to cherish our special day over and over. We play our wedding day video to friends and family who where not able to make it to the wedding. Also, on our Anniversaries we sit back and watch our wedding day on DVD. You mastered the music with every picture, it is a precious memento of a very special day in our lives. Thanks for keeping the magic alive Shari."

Sincerely,

Nancy & Brian McFadden

"Dear Shari,
I just want you to know how much the video has meant to our family. After we met at Starbucks and you gave me the videos, I rushed home so my husband and I could view it before leaving for the airport. We both cried! In Iowa, there were probably thirty family members at the brunch and intimate memorial for our father. We were all in tears, including men and great grandchildren of my parents. I wasn't sure how my mother would react, but she did her best to remain composed and wanted to view it again a couple of times before we left. Also, I sent it to my Aunt in Arizona who is in her mid-nineties and she wrote a note saying she had watched it four times in the first few days and plans to view it often. Everyone has commented on the quality and the excellent choice of music. Your work has touched many lives in a very special way! Just think what we could have put together given a couple of months!"

Thank you and Happy Holidays!!

"I am so pleased with my video beyond words. Shari granted my every request and used all the photos and videos that I provided. She allowed me to write text, and besides using the music that I chose she offered some songs that were better than my CDs. Shari is very creative, and the touches she added to my video were responsible for the gasps of joy and smiles when my wife first saw my surprise video gift to her."
