I hired 5 different people to add the sound to my video and she was better than all the others by far. She was also very patient and adaptive, making changes as i requested in no time. I'm sure I'll work with her again in the future." "Working with Colette has been an amazing experience. I am working on an educational cartoon for children and Colette has really helped me navigate. She took this project and made it her own. She paid very close attention to detail and provided me with great suggestions and updates. I look forward to working with her again in the future." "Colette, my appreciation, and admiration for you are immense! You stayed focused and dedicated to this whole project. And your upbeat personality kept things light and fun.

They're fast, affordably priced, and capable of restoring even average recordings to top-notch, network-quality sound. Obsidian is a Swiss-Army knife when it comes to editing and mastering sound; they do it all, and they do it very, very well." Mat Edelson Former NPR Morning Edition producer/reporter Reporter/host of the current public radio documentary 'Their Music Survives: The Resilience and Revival of Jewish Music from The Holocaust' (engineered by Obsidian) "Josh and his team are creative, professional, and seem to read my mind regarding the work that needs to be done. He works in a consultative manner, and the end result is always above and beyond expectations. He makes everyone look and sound professional. Could I pull out my phone and create a video? Sure - but sometimes what you need is a real professional who understands the nuances of lighting, sound, and people placement. When you're filming training videos, every minute counts. Every camera placement must deliver something educational yet entertaining. It's a difficult balance that he nails consistently. I recently had to create a dozen training videos for a client. They were shocked that we were able to capture the smallest of details - details that, if left out or missed, would have been detrimental to the training's effectiveness. It's Josh's collaborative approach that makes this happen. He isn't afraid to ask questions and make filming suggestions based on the answers. To say he and his team are flexible and adaptive is an understatement. I highly recommend Josh Cotts and the team at Obsidian Productions."
