Kari L. Carlson, MD, Chief, Department of Ob/Gyn, Kaiser Permanente, Redwood City

"Working with George was an amazing experience. His attention to detail ensured that our finished video program was flawless. He made sure that the project stayed on task, and on time, fulfilling the vision and goals we had specified. George always welcomed feedback and was always open to try different approaches in order to get the desired result we wanted. I felt valued and included every step of the way, despite my relative inexperience with video production. His passion comes through in the quality of his work and I am honored and proud to have worked with George and our team to develop such an important, impactful program." October, 2015

Andy and Lisa Sheldon, Partners, Plus Two Marketing

"We run a marketing agency and work with George professionally as a Director of Photography and editor. His attention to detail, professionalism and “whatever it takes” attitude produce fantastic results that make our clients happy. George was an obvious choice for us to take family photos. We selected one of the wonderful murals that adorn the Mission district of San Francisco as our backdrop and color palette. With his keen eye, direction and patience we now have some great photos to share with friends and family. He was even able to get our Australian Shepherd, Archie, to sit still and look at the camera! Bravo George and thanks for making all of us smile." November, 2013

Penny O'Malley, Interim CNO, Kaiser Foundation Hospital, South San Francisco

"Recently our hospital needed to produce a video to tell the story of how the staff went above and beyond to organize and deliver care to a terminal patient wanting to die with dignity at home. As I had worked with George Uibel and theOPENFRAME to produce an excellent training video for the hospital before, I chose to work with George again. The program we produced this time is a sensitive story that moved the audience while delivering the intended motivational message. George's experience in working in a hospital setting with nurses and doctors and their schedules facilitated the production process. His mastery of his craft served us well in delivering a very professional product within the short timeframe required." October, 2013

Dave Frederick, Sr. Director Corporate Marketing, Tintri

"I had the opportunity to work with theOpenFrame and George Uibel for the first time at VMworld, our industry’s largest annual event. George was hired to shoot the presentations in our in-booth theater. That’s what he was hired to do—what he ended up doing was much more. George took on the role of producer, talent wrangler, still photographer, and audio technician—essentially doing whatever was necessary to help us have a successful event and high-quality video. His work ethic is an example to all and he integrated himself into the staff so well, many of our employees thought he was a new hire. George continued the great service into the editorial phase of the project and again went above and beyond expectations to produce polished videos from a very challenging shooting environment. I would not hesitate to hire George again—in fact, I already have." September 19, 2013

​Lynn Nawahine, Samaritan House Director of Development

“Samaritan House was privileged to have George Uibel donate his time and talent to create a polished, professional, and moving video about our agency’s food program. George brought great enthusiasm and excitement to the project, and created a video that captured some truly compelling moments from our clients and staff. The video was shown at our annual fundraiser dinner for 400 of our closest friends and supporters, and provided a very special way of telling the story of our food program and its impact in the community. George is a gifted videographer with an eye for capturing impactful moments that resonate with an audience. ​ His video is proudly displayed on our homepage, www.samaritanhousesanmateo.org and it will continue to serve us in our promotional and outreach efforts.”

“I hired George Uibel, twice,once to tell the colorful story of my 80 year old dad whose passion is music and barbershop harmony, and a second time, to tell the story of my mother and aunt who as young twin girls spent several years in an orphanage while my grandmother served as an Army nurse. George’s passion for his work (videography & photography) combined with extraordinary sensitivity and ability to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in comfortable conversations creates compelling and memorable stories that inspire generations. Whether it is a poignant moment from the past, capturing a turn of phrase, or gently asking questions to frame an experience, George has refined and elevated the art of personal memoir. Don’t miss it.” March 22, 2012​

“George is an awesome photographer and shoots fantastic videos for business and especially for family histories. He is personable and always works with the highest integrity and reliability. When you hire his company theOPENFRAME, you will receive a well organized, creatively assembled video of the highest quality that is a great value. Your family will be proud of it for years to come. He is helpful in guiding you through the process and likes to incorporate old family photos (retouched by George) to make the video a more interesting family personal history.” March 2, 2012​

Tim Mulcahy

“More and more in recent years my quiet father would reminisce – alittle about the war, his time in college, growing up in San Francisco. My wife and I thought how great it would be to capture some of these memories. I knew George did this kind of work so we got together to talk about it. From that beginning to the completion of the project, his passion for his work really came through. He explained his experiences on other projects, helped formulate a plan and the questions, and covered every detail from where to sit, what to wear, etc. The editing process was a challenge due to some special requests we made. But he was patient and really pulled it together. George also helped pick the best pictures that he then scanned and included in the video. He also did his own online search for pictures that gave historical perspective and accentuated the story. And the best part… seeing the video all together as a family. This is a special treasure our kids will always have.” March 26, 2012​

"George has shot and edited a number of video projects for me. Each time he has turned bland B2B content into something watchable. George delivers on time, on budget and with sincere professionalism. George has a keen creative eye and has an attention to detail that is so important in video editing and production. " November, 2012

Lisa Lewis

“Thankfully, we hired George to do a memorial video of my mother in law and I’m so grateful we did as she passed away 2 short years later. Not only did George do an amazing job with Betty prompting her to tell her life story but he really captured her spirit throughout the process as she played the piano and told amazing anecdotes about her life. He added high quality digitized photos which he edited himself and which we’ll cherish forever. The end product is a keepsake about Betty that will live on with our kids and grand kids forever. Our grand kids will get to know their grandmother through this video! (I wish we had done the same with my father in law). I will add that as we prepared for Betty’s funeral George stepped up to provide us with copies of the video and all the photos so we could show at her funeral with just 24 hrs notice. The service he provided was incredible especially during a difficult time. If you are thinking of capturing the lives of your parents or grandparents please do so, you will not be sorry!!! And George does the most amazing job of it!” March 3, 2012​

“George truly captured all of my weddings’ magical moments and then some. He beautifully integrated the event into creative images that I will always treasure. His advanced skill set in post production also translated into a wonderful wedding video that I will watch for years to come” April 17, 2012​

“I was asked to do a video presentation for a professional meeting that I could not attend. I knew I needed a professional’s help and I turned to George Uibel and theOpenFrame. I expected George to do a good job – I knew the quality of his work as I had seen some examples of his finished programs and knew that he uses state of the art professional equipment. I also knew he has integrity and does what he says he will, when he says he will. This was particularly important for meeting a tight deadline. What I didn’t know was how much he brings to the table to prepare the subject. He coached me about what to wear, make up, how to sit, how to put emphasis on the critical parts of the presentation. He gave me tips on telling a better story – ‘you need to close with an impact statement and call to action. He helped me put more of me into the presentation, and it came alive in a way that simply wouldn’t have without his help. It was an enjoyable experience working with George, and the end product was 1000 times better than it would have been without the generous sharing of his expertise.” March 29, 2012​

“George Diem Uibel was an outstanding photographer / videographer for my daughter’s wedding. He was able to capture the personalities of our friends and family, the magic of the moments of the wedding, and the fabulous views of Mendocino. The images he created were not only technically excellent they also told a story. I recommend his services for any photographic / videographer needs you may have.” April 11, 2012​

Jay Strauss 

​“Our family hired George to provide a video history of our family, plus a series of photographs. He blended live interviews, inserted photographs, did significant editing and provided a world class finished product history for our family. George also took a series of family photos which included a creative approach to blending the family with appropriate wine country scenery. We would hire George for his photography and videography again, and highly recommend his service. George takes the time to produce professional quality work and he is straightforward with his communications and recommendations.” February 24, 2012​
