ENVISION STUDIO

It was my privilege to receive the professional services of Ben Nelson and his crew at Envision Studio the weekend of January 21st, 2011. The company was referred to us by a contact at the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph, Missouri. We met only once before the filming of the Ceremony opening the Cause for Beatification of Sr. Marie de Mandat-Grancey at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Kansas City, Missouri. During our meeting Mr. Nelson was very attentive to our desires as we explained our ideas for the finished product. His completed 90 minute film came on time and exceeded our expectations for creativity and professionalism. He delivered the DVDs in excellent condition and according to our specifications. Envision Studios documented the Ceremony excellently from start to finish and added all scripted information perfectly. The creative additions were much appreciated. I was so pleased with the final product that I asked him to also produce from this long film a short version under 10 minutes. The result was an amazing short 7 minute piece. Ben Nelson had beautiful and moving music created for the film and the video “moved” to the music in such a perfect way. He flashed forward then cut back and different phases of the Ceremony were brought in at perfect times to produce a short segment that tells the whole story in a deeper and almost more meaningful way than the entire 90 minute film. I think Ben Nelson’s unique talent lies in being able to tell the heart of a story in a very moving and succinct way combining video creativity with thematic music to make a lasting impression on the mind, heart and soul.

Ben has kept me update about internet traffic to the film. This added service is critical to us as we understand how the film is being received. The response has been very positive.
