Testimonials

Andrew did a fantastic job filming and live-streaming a very important event for our University. We found him to be warm and supportive, detailed and well prepared. He facilitated a really supportive follow up and post-production for all our media needs.

We are thrilled with his work and would definitely like to work with him again. Thank you Andrew!
— Crystal Erlendson, Creative Producer, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS)
Andrew O’Keefe at Amotion is one of our museum’s key creative collaborators, serving both as our marketing partner and archival documentarian. As the MAH’s primary videographer and media producer, Andrew captures a wide variety of content, from exhibitions and festivals to vibrant community events. His beautiful and thoughtful work always reflects the color, energy, and spirit of his subjects, and his talents have helped us elevate our institutional brand through digital storytelling.
— Robb Woulfe, Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH)
I have been involved with many media projects during my 50+ years of community building. I met Andrew via MAH and I have had him video Kathleen Crocetti’s Watsonville Brilliante Project, that will make Watsonville the Barcelona of America; Sandy Lydon’s talk about Chinese sailing across the Pacific in junks at the Chautaqua in Pacific Grove; Donna Mekis, Kathy Mekis Miller and Sandy Lydon speaking at the MAH about their iconic book; “Blossoms Into Gold: The Croatians of the Pajaro Valley.” All of these projects involved complex shoots and coordinating with various individuals and groups.

I am very very happy with Andrew’s professional and personal skills and plan to work with him, hire him for a long time.
— George Ow, Jr. Senior Trustee, Ow Family Properties President, Community Arts and Empowerment
Andrew has been a wonderful collaborator for several years, supporting media production for talks and projects in our science and technology initiatives at UC Santa Cruz as well as producing cultural pieces surrounding our computing and counter-cultural archives here at the DigiBarn and my public talks at www.damer.com. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any of your needs to capture video, audio recording, editing, publishing and promotion and archiving of important events and speakers.
