Filmtwist Productions

Deepa and his team are amazing! I could not ask for more. During the wedding day Deepa worked with me to make sure that I had direction and made the best video possible. I really appreciated that he was able to take charge and make sure that the photographers and his team got the right images. Deepa is so passionate about his work and will do whatever it takes to get the shot! We were able to get some amazing footage thanks to Deepa’s creative mind! Our videos were perfect and are the one thing that will last forever. I’m so happy that we went with Deepa and his team and would recommend them to anyone who wants an amazing wedding video!

Filmtwist was one of my first vendors I booked for my wedding. Right when the wedding planning began I didn’t waste time in booking Deepa and his crew to capture all the special moments during my wedding festivities. A family friend had used him a couple years back and as soon as I saw her SDE I knew I needed to hire him for my wedding.
Deepa and his team are incredible, from the day of signing the contract to the day I received my blu-​ray discs in the mail, they have been so professional and honestly one of the easiest vendors to communicate with during the wedding planning process. When I met Deepa during our intial meeting, we clicked immediately, he grasped everything my family and I were mentioning to him and our video says it all!
Our big weekend arrived and I knew I did not have to worry about the Filmtwist team ! I felt very confident in knowing that they were very familiar with gujurati weddings, and knew where to be and what special moments needed to be captured. I was speechless when I watched my video for the first time! From the transitions from scene to scene and use of the cranes and drones, it all made our wedding video seem so theaterical! My husband and I want to thank you for providing such professional work, making it so easy to communicate with you, and making us the most amazing wedding video! Our families will cherish our videos for years to come!

To speak of the artistry and talent that these guys possess is such a tall order, but I will give it a shot…
My now husband pretty much had one job during wedding planning: to find a videographer. And he far exceeded my expectations by finding Deepa and his team at Filmtwist Productions. We couldn’t be more pleased and ecstatic about our videos and the overall experience of working with them. Husband points right off the back!
When he was initially assigned the task to find a videographer it was starting to look very grim and unmotivated as everything we came across seemed so ordinary or lacked character and content. Every video started to look like the last. Nothing was drawing us in to even complete most videos. UNTIL we found Filmtwist’s site. We pretty much knew by the first video we clicked on that they were the ones. We weren’t going to get typical wedding video, we were getting a production. Something that portrays the bride and groom beyond the white dress and black suit. Every video we viewed of Filmtwist’s had so much charisma and drew us in, wanting to have attended that wedding!
It’s only been a few hours since we sent out our video to our friends and family and the overwhelming amount of responses is just amazing! It warms our hearts as even the people who were not able to attend our wedding have complimented that they loved the videos so much and thanked us for sharing as they felt like they were there that day. Our videos were able to evoke emotion from our loved ones that we had a ton of criers and yet still gave that excitement of fun and celebration! Filmtwist really didn’t miss a beat.
Filmtwist has given us such a PRICELESS gift for us to cherish and replay over and over again for the rest of our lives. The amount of manpower, time and effort to create what they created was truly amazing. Filmtwist was hands down our absolute favorite vendor, before, during and after our wedding. Each crew member: Deepa, Tien, Tyrone and Tyler were all such a great pleasure to work with, it was like hanging out with long time friends! They were extremely professional yet so personable and easy going, we just flat out had so much fun with the team.
We could go on and on about these guys, but we will leave you with this: My husband told me that moments before the ceremony, he was hyperventilating, and it was Tyrone that came to calm him. He speaks of the moment with so much gratitude and that alone says so much to me. They know what they are doing and they care about their clients even to that extent. One word: Priceless.

Deepa is the best… not only is his product fabulous, he is an awesome person!!! You can’t do anything but have a smile on your face while you view his work… Deepa and his team capture the most treasured moments that you are able to re-​live again and again. I would recommend Deepa (FilmTwist) to anyone who wants the best of the best in quality!!!

We worked with Filmtwist for our wedding last October. Every step of the process was easy, enjoyable, and we were so happy when we received our final product! Deepa and everyone we worked with at Filmtwist were incredibly accommodating and professional. For our wedding, Deepa sent out a team of 3 led by Tien, and they had multiple cameras shooting all day long. The final product was beautifully cut together to music. It all really felt like a film production! Everyone we shared our highlight video with were impressed with their work. Definitely worth the splurge!

They did a great job with our October 2014 wedding in Napa. Many of our guests raved about the extended highlight video, and the Blu-​Ray came out great. Excellent service — highly recommend.

Having Deepa and his crew to film our wedding was the best decision of our lives! They captured the precious moments that will forever be remembered! Deepa is such an amazing person to work with! Super easy going and funny!
When we were searching for our videographer… we looked at cheaper ones vs. more expensive ones and there is a MAJOR difference! FilmTwist is not «cheap» I tell you… but I guarantee you that it will be worth every single penny you spend and more! Quality is priceless! If you are going to go cheap on videographer, you might as well just not get one and have your friend just film it for u for free!
we are so glad we selected FilmTwist to capture this once in a lifetime moment! We also did a same day edit and let me tell you… one word… WOW! literally another great decision we made! I can watch our video over and over again!
I highly recommend FilmTwist! There’s a reason why everyone is giving a 5 star here… I would give 10 if I could!
Great job Deepa and crew! I hope we will cross path again one day! miss you guys!

As my husband and I are on our honeymoon, we would like to take some time out to thank Filmtwist for helping us capture the special moments of our wedding so perfectly in the Same Day Edit (SDE) video. We could not have been any more satisfied with our videographer selection. Our friends and family have used them in the recent past and after seeing their work, we knew they’d be able to deliver a quality product. They were an incredibly fun team to work with– punctual, flexible, creative and enthusiastic.
They were able to calmly navigate through the craziness of an Indian wedding with such ease and professionalism– never being pushy or «in your face.» They followed through with every big and small request we had… and we had A LOT. Our guests still talk about the SDE video that was showed at the reception, which proves to us that we weren’t the only one hugely entertained by it. I know for a fact, there are people who have watched the video everyday since it’s been posted. Filmtwist seamlessly integrated the story of how my husband and I met with the scenes of the different ceremonies. They did an amazing job of syncing the songs with the events to add so much more emotion and depth to the video. The lyrics and beats were remarkably on point! Deepa, John (the editor) and his team are masters at what they do and really are perfectionists. They clearly went above and beyond what we expected and for the level of work they do, the cost of their services was extremely reasonable.
We will forever cherish the videos — SDE, main feature, and the extended documentary. We are so grateful for having crossed paths with Filmtwist during the most important celebration of our lives. Thank you guys so much!

Working with Deepa and his team was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding! They were incredibly patient, flexible, and so easy to work with.
We did the next day edit video and we’re so glad we did, our video turned out amazing and everyone complimented us on how great it turned out.
We did a pre wedding shoot with them and it was so well added to our main video. I can’t compliment them enough on how amazing our video turned!
They are worth every penny. They worked around our schedule so well, we were so busy but glad they worked around us. I wanted an extra day for my Mehndi video too and without hesitation made it work out.
Thank you guys so much for our memorable video, I would without a doubt hire you guys again :)!

What I can say about Deepa and his team at Filmtwist Productions? That they are the BEST experience I ever had! Not only are they friendly and fit into the family while filming but they have amazing quality work.
My husband and I are camera shy when the camera is focused on us but Deepa knows how to open you up and make magic happen on the screen. We are so glad we went with filmtwist to film the MOST important days of our lives. Deepa and his team were able to show who we are as individuals on our videos.
If I could do it all over again, I would still pick Filmtwist to film our wedding. My family has fallen in love with his work as well and I have actually within 6 months hired Deepa to come back and be part of my sister’s wedding as well. Oh I cant forget, he becomes not only someone who is working with you but a friend too!
Thank you Deepa and Filmtwist Team!!!

When I got engaged and the topic of Wedding Videography came up I kind of cringed. I have worked in TV and Film Production for over 10 years so I know what goes in to making good video. In general I was kind of against the idea of a wedding video until I happened to go to a good friends wedding where Filmtwist had done a Same Day Edit. I was pretty blown away with the caliber of their production and how they managed to seamlessly edit it into a beautiful and personalized short video.
After further research into other wedding videographers I was convinced Filmtwist was the ONLY videographers I wanted to go with. What sets Filmtwist apart is that they aren’t just wedding videographers… they’re filmmakers who happen to shoot weddings. Their sensibilities are very refined and polished when it comes to cinematography and storytelling. They could easily, and absolutely, do more commercial work and have a talented crew headed by Deepa… who is absolutely terrific to work with. What is most important about Filmtwist is that their videos really focus on trying to capture the moment, the couple and the wedding over just shooting the same kinds of shots that fit into a pre-​scripted formula.
The day of the wedding Deepa rolled in with a good sized crew and a lot of equipment. Two of my groomsmen are in the tv/​film industry as well and they were both impressed with what they brought: a 20 ft crane, lots of sliders, cameras, lenses and even an helicopter drone. The crew did a good job of backing away and documenting at times and then other times coming in and asking to do specific shots that they knew they wanted. When it came time for the Same Day Edit, my wife and I were both nervous and excited. When the video played we were both blown away. It was amazing to see our wedding day show that same evening. The quality and level of craft in the production was simply amazing and blew away everyone in attendance… and believe me I had some harsh critics there. Throughout the day, you could see how hard they worked and how much love they put into what they did. After the video I just ran up to Deepa, gave him a big hug and thanked his entire crew over and over on the amazing job they did. It doesn’t get any better than Filmtwist.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Deepa and his crew. I’m not sure Deepa would say the same thing about us tho lol…
Not that we were difficult people to work with, but between our very busy work schedules and family responsibilities, we had little time to devote to working with them on video details and were terribly late submitting song names, etc. Deepa was not only very patient with us, but gave us great ideas and was proactive in helping us find places to shoot and completely worked around our schedule.
We had decided to spend the majority of our wedding budget on a videographer crew after seeing a Same Day Edit at one of my friend’s weddings. It’s an additional cost, but we were so glad we did it. Deepa was very reasonable for the quality of film you get. Everyone at the reception teared up and so many people came up to comment on how wonderful the video was. I forgot to mention on the day of the wedding, so many people from the Filmtwist crew showed up, you’d think we were making a hollywood film! It was wonderful how much they captured, but at the same time stayed in the background to not cause any distraction. They were professional and again, so easy to work with.
Btw, my husband and I were probably one of the most un-​creative couples (having been dating for 11 years probably doesnt help with keeping that type of romantic creativity alive), but Deepa always had a smiling face working with us and never stopped giving ideas to lessen our stress of not knowing what the heck we were doing.
8÷31÷14 was our one year wedding anniversary and after receiving our beautiful CD case with our video and highlights, we shared it with family and friends and we all absolutely loved it! Note that I only got the video a year after the wedding because we procrastinated in providing songs for the video… most likely we could have gotten it much sooner.
Overall, I don’t regret a penny we spent on them. Amazing videos, talented crew, friendly customer service. We also used their photobooth and that came out awesome too.
My husband and I highly, highly recommend Filmtwist!

Deepa and his team were easy to work with, honest, affordable, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding highlights video exceeded our expectations and we are so thankful to have hired Filmtwist. We found Filmtwist through our photographer Joseph Pascua who is equally as amazing! I couldnt believe how imaginative, creative, and entertaining our highlights video turned out. The music matched the emotions so perfectly. The wedding industry is a lucrative business, but I would advise you that hiring a videographer is priceless. Worth every penny.

There are not enough words to explain how incredibly happy my husband and I are that we had Filmtwist as our videographers. Deepa and the Filmtwist crew are absolutely amazing! We decided to spend most of our wedding budget on video and photography because they allow you to re-​live the day over and over… and we have no regrets in doing so! What drew us to filmtwist was their artistic and cinematographic approach in creating a video that highlights the most important details of your wedding. And they delivered!
On the day of the wedding, Deepa (and crew) was very helpful, professional, and really easy to work with. He definitely helped the day move right along.
Both our highlight video and Main Feature are way beyond what we could have ever expected. I was in complete awe when I first viewed our highlights, it was so beautifully done! Filmtwist managed to incorporate our Harry Potter theme throughout the video and it came out so awesome! They were always keeping in touch with us, letting us know that they were working on it. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and also had no problem editing out a particular clip that we did not want to include.
I highly recommend using Filmtwist to capture your day! You will not be disappointed.

Deepa and his team are absolutely amazing! The video of our wedding highlights was so beautifully put together, and Deepa was so helpful during the whole process that we can’t thank him enough for the wonderful work that he did. Deepa was very professional and easy to work with. He gave us quick responses, superb shots, and a feeling of ease knowing that we were working with the best.
And Filmtwist definitely goes the extra mile. We emailed with a request to add certain clips to our highlight reel and not only received a prompt reply but also the revised version within 3 days! Exceptional customer service! And that’s throughout the entire process. It’s no surprise that they have so many outstanding reviews.
I highly recommend Filmtwist to anyone looking into hiring a videographer or even thinking about it. I’ve already told all my closest friends who are getting married to check them out. Filmtwist Productions is where it’s at!

Deepa and others were great. The videos looked awesome and they did a great job helping us with song selection and incorporating the ones we really wanted. The overall quality of the videos is great and they were very professional before, during and after the wedding. The voices came out perfect on the video and it really captures many of the parts of the wedding we missed since we were so busy.

This review is LONG overdue (by nearly 2 years!) but I just recently viewed my wedding feature film again, and I just can’t believe how beautiful it turned out. Deepa is REALLY talented, and a pleasure to work with. He took his time getting to know us so that he could capture who were truly were in our movie. Our events (Pakistani wedding = 8 events!) were spanned across northern and southern California, and he was able to cover all of ones we asked of him. The cinematography is amazing– as if you are watching a Hollywood (not cheesy Bollywood) film. And he rubbed off on our photographer too, who followed Deepa as he captured intimate moments and used his innovated style to capture unique footage. Our photographs came out very cool and I credit Deepa!

We hired Filmtwist for our Indian Wedding which is a 4 day event and it was in multiple locations (Fremont, Lodi & Stockton). Deepa and his team were easy to work with and reliable.
We did the same day edit video which we were able to show at our reception and all our guests were amazed and wanted copies. One guest said it was like James Cameron shoot it himself!
Their a great company to work with and both our families loved them because they were friendly and inconspicuous. I would highly recommend them to our friends and family.

FilmTwist is an amazing company that my husband and I ended up working with by a twist of fate. I met them at a wedding show much earlier, but initially we did not plan on getting a videographer. Then we found out my husband’s grandparents couldn’t make the wedding and we wanted to be able to share the memory with them.
I called FilmTwist and they got back to us immediately, they happened to have a cancellation on the date of our wedding. I live in SC, so my husband and I met Deepa over skype and we meshed well.
Throughout the process, FilmTwist was pleasant to work with and very professional. We even had the pleasure of spending a day sailing with Deepa prior to our wedding.
The end products are absolutely amazing. We have watched the videos so many times and our friends and family loved seeing footage from the day. It is so nice to have the memory of our wedding preserved because the day went by too fast.
Thank you!!!

My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our summer 2012 wedding… but then I saw a coworker’s engagement video done by the Filmtwist team and boom. We knew we HAD to have them shoot our wedding.
We had looked at a few videographers during our decision making process, but Filmtwist’s distinct documentary and intimate style immediately set them apart from the rest.
We had seen so many cheesy wedding videos at bridal fairs but when we got a look at Filmtwist’s video samples it was a done deal in our eyes. We emailed them immediately, and – bonus points – they emailed us back immediately! Anyone planning a wedding or large event knows how stressful it is keeping track of vendors and having to constantly reach out to people for responses, but Deepa and his team treated us more like friends than clients and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy before, during, and after our big day.
Before signing our contract we had two Skype meetings with Deepa where he got to know us as a couple and his genuine interest in our love story and our wedding day was so refreshing. Wedding planning can be brutal. Deepa and the rest of Filmtwist made it fun, and their presence as we were getting ready through the ceremony and on to the reception was such a joy! We even took a few shots with them in our photobooth because we had so much fun with them.
