How-to Video Production

Rich's creative eye and commitment to excellence has resulted in world class video productions that have propelled my resort to the top of my industry.

In terms of quality, the commercials Richard produces for us clearly outshine any other locally produced material; it's what you'd expect from Chicago or other large urban markets.

For any documentarian seeking an outstanding editor for long-form programs, I would heartily recommend Rich Hartwell for your consideration. Over the years, he has assisted me greatly in the preparation of documentaries for national broadcast.

Richard is a fine and skilled shooter, editor and producer. It's rare that you find all three skills in one person, but Richard is that person. I've worked with him on several projects and I'm impressed with his attention to detail and desire to get it "right". He is a real pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Richard to friends and colleagues.

Richard consistently delivers what I need. His attention to detail – lighting, sound, background and content – brings each video to an uncommon level of artistry. Added to this are his conscientiousness, responsibility and responsiveness, which makes working with Richard an extremely pleasant experience.

Working closely with Emmet County's natural assets and multifaceted leadership, Rich took a loose concept and turned it into a solid, sophisticated promotional video that won him, and the county, a Telly Award and a lasting place in the history of Northern Michigan.

Can do attitude, excellent eye for detail, listens to our needs, turned our concept into reality - would hire Richard again in a minute.

We have worked with Richard for many years. His work is better than outstanding and always comes at budget. His creativity has been a real asset to our business. I would highly recommend Hartwell Digital Media.

The most professional, detailed oriented and enjoyable experience I have ever had in television advertising!
