 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JV Studios has captured the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle and Bank of America Chicago 13.1 for the past four years, and always deliver engaging and vibrant video content! While the event experience remains mostly the same from year to year, Vince and his team do a great job of capturing unique aspects of the event and putting a creative twist on the final recap videos. We're excited to continue working with JV Studios!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I looked at a lot of video production vendors at beginning of the year, JV really stood out. John and Vince are the type of partners not here just help you to complete a project, they are here to help you move mountains. The crew is fun to work with. I especially appreciate John's above and beyond "customer service". I felt very supported throughout the process. The results are very professional/well-made videos. I would highly recommend to work with JV.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired JV Studios for video work on the marine side and they delivered. Vince and the team showed up prepped, understood the brief on the first call, and didn't need us to babysit the shoot day, which matters when you're pulling product managers and reps off their day jobs to get on camera. Turnaround on edits was quick and the final cuts landed the way we needed them for trade show and dealer-facing use. Easy to work with, professional, and good at translating a technical product story into something a non-industry viewer will actually watch. Would absolutely hire them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the opportunity to work with JV Studios through two different creative agencies, and they consistently deliver. One of the biggest advantages of working with their team is knowing I can trust them not only locally, but nationwide. No matter the market or project, I know I’m getting a dependable team and strong final product. Their team is communicative, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. From pre-production to on-site execution and final delivery, they make projects run smoothly and are always willing to problem-solve when needed. The quality of their work is consistently strong, and they do a great job balancing creative storytelling with the practical needs of brands, agencies, and live events. They’re adaptable, professional, and reliable, which is hard to find consistently in production. If you’re looking for a video and creative team that delivers quality work and is easy to partner with, I’d definitely recommend JV Studios.
