“From the first consultation, it was evident that Auggie Rodriguez of AR Films operates on a level of professionalism and creativity that surpasses expectations. His approach before even starting the video recording process was both thorough and insightful, ensuring that every angle and possibility was explored to best meet our project’s needs.

Auggie took the time to really understand our vision, asking detailed questions that demonstrated his commitment to not just meeting but exceeding our expectations. His strategic thinking shone through as he tailored a unique storyboard that aligned perfectly with our objectives, suggesting innovative ideas that would enhance the result while still being mindful of our timeline and budget.

What truly sets Auggie apart, however, is not just his skill behind the camera but also his forward-thinking approach to distributing the finished material. Before diving into the project, he meticulously planned out a distribution strategy that was both ambitious and ideally suited to our target audience. His understanding of different platforms and insight into maximizing visibility in a crowded digital landscape were invaluable.

I cannot recommend Auggie Rodriguez and AR Films enough for anyone looking for video recording services that extend beyond just capturing moments but cherishing them, narrating them, and sharing them in the most impactful way possible. His work truly speaks for itself, but his approach and strategic foresight set him and his work apart in the industry.”

“I started Conmitto with the vision  to help Fortune 500 businesses with their Maintenance, Repair and Operations needs much simpler through our service as as software (SAAS). AR Films Chicago took that vision and helped us visually show our clients we serve in the Industrial and Logistics Industry what they could expect from us when it came to making their needs met through our product. Since the initial meeting Auggie was detailed and professional about what we needed for the video and shared with us all aspects of the production process. Since the video was uploaded to our website, Conmitto and our clientele has grown thanks to AR Films Chicago making that idea become a reality! I highly recommend AR Films Chicago for your next project."
