FX STUDIO

Doug and his crew at FX Studios, Are AWESOME, we are very very happy with our Wedding video, Doug was very thorough with getting to know us showing he cares and pays attention to detail and made sure we were happy with everything. Quality is top notch. FX STUDIO crew went beyond what was contracted for, and shot and edited an additional 3rd camera. Got great close-ups and captured all the emotions we had. Great video coverage of our whole event. After the final edit all the camera angles, timing, side by side action reactions are so awesome. Re-living all the great times of our Wedding and even things we didn't see or things that went by so fast. Created a great Story for us to re-live every time we watch it. On day of pick up Doug went over everything on how to operate the Blu Ray video, the format of the hard drive for different computer systems (apple, windows), he also recommended eventually backing up to another source because hardware does have a shelf life. Doug just wants to make sure we will be able to view this video for the rest of our lives.Thank you very much to FX STUDIO.

Doug never got to work for a slideshow I had hired him for to honor my sister for her funeral. In July we didn't know that COVID was going to take a turn for the worse which has affected our plans to have a service. I had paid Doug a deposit by check. He didn't cash it and was nice to mail the check back to me.It was the initial call that I knew right away that Doug was a great person to work with. It was so easy to talk to him. So much ALOHA and so much knowledge about his craft. Even before accepting the job, he already took initiative to help me understand the process and what it took to make this slideshow the best it could be. I only wished to have seen how all of this would have turned out. I know for sure it would have been all I wanted just in the short time of working with Doug. Call him cause he's awesome to work with.

Such a wonderful experience! We're local raised, but been living in the mainland for the last ten years. On one of our recent visits back to the Island, we had Doug make a short video of our vacation. We went around the island for a few hours and ended our day on a sunset sail. We got amazing drone footage shot by Alex and breathtaking sunset shots by Doug. It was exactly what I was looking for! All our friends complimented our video. Such a priceless memory we can enjoy watching over and over again. Ps. Doug is such a pleasant person to work with, kind patient, and talented. Alex just the same. Thank you for the memories FxStudio

Hi Doug! Thank you for making Jio's 1st bday Video memorable. Thank you for capturing moments we missed while we were busy running around entertaining all the guest. The video captured quest who came and I was able account the no shows hahahaha. Our experience with you and your company is incomparable. Professionalism and excellent customer service is to the roof. Which is why I always have you as our videographer. Dont have to go elsewhere. You're our to go to videographer .I'm a busy working mom and have sent Doug all the requirements late and Doug was and still is very patient with me. In fact he would call me or email me and text me just to remind me...Doug: "Jen, dont forget" or where's the songs, ahhhhhh yoMe: yes will work on them then forget (yikes)Dough is the sweetest. Very professional Always recommend to family and friends

From the beginning of the wedding planning, I know how important it is to book a great videographer. All my friends told me that your wedding day will be a blur, all you have left with after is the memories which is reflected in the video and pictures. Dealing with FX Studio was an amazing experience from start to finish. From the very beginning when we met Doug at the studio and he explained to us the process, you can really tell that he is passionate about his work and loves what he does. We were instantly sold after watching the DVD samples that he had. My friends were right. After 6 months of life after marriage, the wedding day does seem like a blur to me now. We finally had the time to watch the wedding DVD recently and everything came back, all the emotions and all the wonderful feelings of the wedding day. Doug did an amazing job of capturing every essence and emotion from us, our families and all our friends. The quality of the DVD and the shot angles were amazing that you feel like you were there again. From the funny face my father in law made, to the cute comments my nieces made, and the emotional reaction of my aunt as I walked down the aisle, Doug captured it all. As an added bonus, I love the personalized DVD cover and DVD imprint also (see pictures). Doug also included popcorn and haupia packet when he sent over the DVD to us. Now that's great customer service!

Doug and his team produce extremely high quality work.Video Designs did our ceremony (w/jib arm) and reception with same day edits to show at the wedding. The results were absolutely amazing. The team is very professional, shows up on time (well early probably) and they do their magic. Doug is extremely creative in how he designs his shots and it really showed in the results. He also is very reliable and will come through with what he says he will. He is very picky about everything that goes into it so that makes it sometimes harder to work with him because it means you go through every detail, but I think he does that to make sure that you get the absolute best quality results. Quality input = quality output.There is a lot of editing that goes into the show and the result is a professional, elegant, stunning show. It was incredible to see the quality of his same day edits being shown just a few hours after they were shot. There are some time constraints that if he has to do the same day edits, your slideshow cannot be scheduled before a certain time. But work with him and I'm sure you can figure something out.The prices can add up as you add to your package, but at that point it's all quality work, regardless of what you get. He also can do the underwater "trash your dress" shots and a whole lot of other things if you're interested in more. He's creative so see what he can do.If you want an extremely high quality video production, then Doug is your guy. And if you're unsure, then at least meet with him to see some samples of his work and I'm sure you'll be sold.

We were recommended to FX Studio by a close friend of mines who used him for her wedding. Doug from FX studio has been nothing but kind, accommodating, and easy to work with! We were planning our wedding from Florida, and Doug made the whole process super easy and stress free. What really blew me away was that he was willing to meet with us on several occasions, when we were on the island, to go over any questions and to give us some advice on how to stay calm on the wedding day but also how to ensure our video came out great. Doug was also great on the wedding day and stayed pretty hidden, we barely noticed that he was there!We got our wedding video and it was absolutely perfect! We have already watched it and the highlight reel several times. The quality is supreme and Doug captured every emotion and moment we went through that day. For barely remembering the day since it flew by, we're glad we had Doug to capture the day for us so we can relive it!

FX Studios was my videographer & photographer for my sons birthday party & I was not let down!!! The photos came out great but the video...OUTSTANDING!!! Amazing work and the attention to detail is just simply the best! The way my sons video was put together is so smooth and well thought out from song selections, to the font used, to the color selection of the font...just everything was superb! They way Doug interacted with the guests was so awesome because he interviewed them to get them to participate in the video. He caught priceless moments that we will have with us forever! Doug is very nice and patient as well as an absolute professional at what he does! He is very precise and doesn't seem to miss a thing! Even his emails and driving directions to get to his studio are so well written you can't get lost. Please get in touch with FX Studio for all your photography especially videography needs!

FX Studio did our wedding video 10 years ago. It was such an awesome video we watch it every year on our anniversary. They captured all the precious moments of our ceremony even the ones we forgot. Last year our DVD got scratched and wasn't working anymore. We were heartbroken but gave Doug a call to see if they had a copy. Even though it was 10 years ago they still had it on file! So grateful for them.

I have in the past used several and different videographers mainly for the purpose of recording celebration of life of beloved ones but none come closer to home as FX Studio owned and operated by Douglas Kazama. In September 2022, another beloved one has passed on, and this time it was my father in law. I was determined to look for a videographer that is not only a good producer but someone that I could work with and trust to produce a video from a very personal touch. Someone who understand the video was for celebration of life capturing and reflecting the many happy memories moments that we had with my father in law. We would work together for the music to accompany the video. In November 2022, as promise Doug delivered the video via Vimeo link, and it was impressive and masterfully done. Looking back I am glad I have decided to go with at least three or more cameras so Doug could capture every possible moment for use when editing the video. The $2500 I paid Doug was worth every penny. I will no doubt use Doug and multiple cameras again in foreseeable future to do memory video for any occasions that I am planning to capture as memories.
