Testimonials
Kim Willoughby - Inn from the Cold
I highly recommend Cerebral Expansions. Alex is very organized, flexible, responsive, proactive, and cares about the details. I would definitely work with him again for future video productions at Inn from the Cold.
Andrew Simpson - Instinct: animals for film
Alex worked as one of the main camera operators on my documentary 'Wolves Unleashed - Against All Odds' in China. It was an extremely challenging project to shoot and the work conditions were not exactly favourable. Alex rose to the challenge and captured amazing and unique footage using a variety of cameras and technical knowledge. His ability as a camera operator along with his positive and creative attitude made him a valuable member of my team. And I know without question, his contribution to my project has been a key factor in the award winning success the film has embraced this year. I would have no hesitation in hiring Alex again.
Claudia Neff - Production Manager
I first started working with Alex 11 years ago on a very successful tv series for SLICE called “At the End of MY Leash” He did the camera work on all the auditions and edited them for Network to see. We then worked on another tv series for CMT called “Employee of the Week, Alex was running 3rd camera unit on series and delivered some damn good footage. We moved on to several commercials and casting sessions. Including VW. Alex has proven he is professional, talented, reliable and works to ensure the project is delivered to clients liking and specifications. Alex is talented in many areas and works within provided budget.
Stuart Bartwicki - The Rouge Group
Alex was amazing to work with. He was very patient with us and provided lots of help on the script and creative aspects of the project. He arranged a number of meetings prior to shooting the video to ensure we were happy with how the video would likely turn out. On the day of recording Alex was very hands on and never progressed to the next scene until he was satisfied that he had the best recording possible, he has very high standards which results in a fantastic finished product. We had fun working with Alex on this project and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional grade recording.
Tasha Komery - Arts Commons
Alex was amazing to work with. We wanted to produce an AGM video that did double duty as a report to community and a goodbye to our departing and beloved CEO. We were one of those clients that most people dread - short timeline, murky vision, vague direction, and looking for someone to make magic happen. Alex listened intently to all we had to say and somehow made sense of our rambling ideas. He was professional and so calm that I wasn't sure he really understood what we were asking of him! Then he came back with an storyboard/outline, clear direction, and a passion for the project that was totally unexpected. Every step of the way, Alex brought certainty and confidence (putting our minds at ease), thought of things that we hadn't considered, ensured we were covered both legally and creatively, and provided us with an amazing end product. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, and that was exactly what we wanted to accomplish. Thank you, Alex! We look forward to working with you again!
