Testimonials
Madeline Cantor,
Choreographer & Dance Educator
"I had the good fortune to work with David Wadsworth on multiple video projects over more than a decade, projects that ranged from performance videos for websites to a complex performance piece with text and movement. David brought high-level technical expertise, artistic sensibility, and sophistication to every project. He understood the goals, handled the details, and delivered wonderful work -- on time and on budget."
Nancy Malmed,
International Ballet Exchange
“As a dance studio owner and choreographer, I have used several videographers through the years to document our performances. When I hired David Wadsworth to tape one of our shows, roughly 15 years ago, I had no need to find another videographer. David’s videos are excellent. He understands when to zoom in and when shoot the full stage. The reproduction is crystal clear. David does a wonderful job with editing, as well. I give him a 5-star recommendation.”
Robert Polk,
Cathedral Village Bach Festival
"David, what a classy finale you provided to our Bach Live @ Cathedral Village! Your vision and know-how far exceeded my dreams as to what that final program for the Festival would look like. And personally I think it was a grand slam!! All I can say is thank you very, very much for all you put into your vision and my dream. Both proved to be exceedingly fine and on target."
