To work with CRUMLIC MEDIA was such a nice experience, from the very first minute Bill Crumlic makes you feel totally confortable in front of the cameras and he understood exactly what I was looking for my video. He captured in images the sensitivity that I wanted and the editing work was magnificent. I truly recommend CRUMLIC MEDIA, professionalism, personality, and sensitivity.....a perfect combination.
George Litton
Chairman, Verdi Square Festival of the Arts:
Dear Bill,
A short note of appreciation to you and your colleagues for giving the Verdi Square Festival a far larger public presence than our small enterprise ever dreamed possible. The quality of video coverage you and your other cameramen provide puts us in the class of major league players, attracting the attention not only of our audiences and sponsors, but also giving us recognition far beyond our Upper West Side neighborhood. I have received congratulatory notes from viewers throughout the United States, England, and France. Our participating young artists have indicated how helpful it is for them to see themselves as audiences see them.
I am quick to anger and find fault, but I also quickly recognize real talent and dedication to a job to be done. It is a pleasure to work with someone on whom I may rely and who I recommend gladly to others. I am delighted that as a result of my suggestion to the Yale Russian Chorus Alumni they retained Crumlic Media to memorialize their recent concert at New York's 92nd Street Y. They were thrilled with the result. Looking forward to working with you on Verdi Square Festival 2011.
Sincerely,
George Litton, Chairman

President, Yale Russian Chorus Alumni Association:
Bill Crumlic produced a fine lively short video for our group using a variety of materials, some footage that he took himself and some of ours - including some in very awkward format and bad lighting. He was very receptive to our expectations and tweaks and delivered on schedule. Very professional and good people skills. We'll use him again.
Angela Di Bello
Director of Agora Gallery, New York City Agora Gallery Director
Crumlic Media has been producing monthly reception video's for Agora Gallery for approximately 2 years. Bill is very professional, creative and personable. I highly recommend Crumlic Media for your events!
David Stravitz
Owner, eDavid Gallery:
“I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to anyone expecting top tier results. A most gifted individual.”
“To say that Bill Crumlic is a seasoned professional, a fine artist and a gentleman is an understatement. I have nothing but praise for him. I started working with Bill (he did all the work) and over time we became good friends. But, in this case, we're supposed to be talking about his talents as a videographer, art director and master cameraman."
"Where do I start? In the past 3 years Bill has personally done, I believe, 8 projects for me. No, I'm sorry, 9. Seven related to show openings at my gallery in Bethlehem (www.edavidgallery.com), Another one for the gallery was a virtual tour of the gallery (http://edavidgallery.com/GalleryTour.html). To visit the 7 shows, which are posted up on YouTube, just go to the Gallery Videos icon. In addition to the supurb gallery work, Bill also produced a slick presentation video of my patented and pending patents (inventions) of Hobby Craft tools and devices. I've used that video at several international trade shows, including the annual Hobby and Craft Show in Anaheim. It's been very effective for me in establishing sincere interest."
"I have recommended Bill to many sources, including the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. He created a most spectacular video which is permanently posted on front page of their web site."
"Out of a maximum score of 10, he get's a 12 from me.”
Bruce Haines
Managing Partner, Historic Hotel Bethlehem:
“Bill did a fantastic job of working with Hotel Bethlehem staff to develop a promotional piece for our business. I highly recommend his services.”
Brad Rinehart
Asst. GM / News Director, WFMZ TV - 69 News:
“Since 2002, WFMZ has regularly utilized Crumlic News Services (now Crumlic Media) for freelance newsgathering."
"Bill monitors police, fire and rescue frequecies and responds to newsworthy incidents of his own accord. He then notifies WFMZ-TV of stories he's shot and we purchase the rights to air the video in our newcasts if we are interested."
"In this regard, Bill is a pro-active news gatherer and a real asset to WFMZ. He's an extra set of ears listening to the scanners. Like any good freelencer, he's a good shooter, he's quick to the scene, is flexible, and willing to pursue news at any time of the day or night. But what really sets Bill apart is his background as an Assignment Editor. He's knowledgeable about news, has good judgement, and is skilled at gathering information in the field. And while Bill always gets his story, I've never had a complaint from law enforcement that he's overstepped his bounds."
"We also hire Bill to do per diem work using our equipment and vehicles when staff photojournalists are sick or on vacation. He gathers video and sound bites like any full-time staffer.”
"On top of all that Bill is a genuinely nice guy to work with. He gets along with everyone, and is calm, mature, and professional in all regards."
Carol Binkowski of New York City
Hired Bill Crumlic for a party event in February of 2010:
Hi Bill,
I reviewed the footage you shot and am happy with it.... there are many good shots of people, views, food, atmosphere etc... I particularly liked some of the shots you set up with candles, glasses, signs, windows etc.. and there is a good mix of shots... people entering, exiting, chatting, moving, eating, reacting, etc.. I won't have difficulties editing it.
Maybe we'll be able to do something together in the future..
regards,
Carol
