As a business owner, you always hope that your valuable tools never break down. For me, my cameras serve as a lifeline for my business. I’m sure anyone in the event filmmaking or video production business can relate to me when I say that a camera is a vital tool. Anyway, last week when I noticed there was something wrong with one of my cameras you would think that I would be worried since this happened days before a shoot. However, I knew that I had a company to rely on, Armato’s Pro Video.

In the past 25 years I have had a camera malfunction only twice, and both times I turned to Armato’s Pro Video. Without hesitation Paul Armato and Dennis Hopkins from Armato’s Pro Video were right there to make sure I had a camera repaired in time for my next shoot. I can not say enough about what these guys went though to make sure my camera was repaired quickly and professionally. When they discovered the repair was outside what they could do at their repair facility they immediately hand delivered my camera to Sony’s factory repair facility in NJ. By the way, Sony’s repair facility usually has a 6 to 8 week turn around time and they somehow got my camera repaired in two days. My guess is they have a great relationship with the guys at Sony.

I feel the need to let you know that when you purchase a camera from Armato’s Pro Video not only do you get amazing customer service but they have loaner program where if they can’t repair your camera in a reasonable time they’ll loan you one free of charge. So needless to say I knew that if they couldn’t get my camera repaired in time they would loan me one until it was.

In my opinion the first step in buying a camera is finding a reputable company that will stand behind you after the initial purchase. So when you’re in the market for your next camera give these guys a call and forget the box houses. Dennis and Paul from Armato’s are honest reputable guys that WILL be there for you when you need them and you never know when that might happen.

This past Saturday, April 30th in West Hartford Center we had filmed The Lux Bond and Green’s Diamond Dash brought to you by SCVNGR. I had the pleasure of producing this shoot with the help of Cameron Rogers for filming, Marc Manzi for an incredible job on editing, and Pierce Kuchle for his help at the shoot. This production was a ton of fun with a lot of high energy from all of the participants. Hundreds of participants flooded West Hartford Center to participate in the diamond dash in hopes of winning a $12,000 A. Jaffe diamond ring. Participants were receiving clues via text message on their phones. We were running just as much as the participants were throughout West Hartford Center/ Blue Back Square. Our final edited video of the footage from event is incredible, and it was so exciting to relive the moment when Kaitlin Stacy and John Voglesong wining the ring! There was so much excitement and emotion that Kaitlin and John conveyed! I wanted to thank the sponsors from the event: Lux Bond & Green, LaViera Photography, Kiss 95.7, J.T. Chamo The Tuxedo Place, Stylish Impressions, and NBC Connecticut.

Sincerely,

Danielle Nielsen, Producer
