“Exceptional. Professional. Discreet.
I searched through many companies to livestream my mum’s funeral before I found Schmittat Photography. From our first conversation I had a strong sense of Moritz’s personality and creative eye, and knew that he would have the compassion within to beautifully capture the day.
I work in the entertainment business so I am used to high quality filming and attention to details. Moritz more than delivered this.
We had family in a least 10 different countries all simultaneously joining the livestream, they all said how intimate and connected they felt during this time when we are all apart.
The edit turnaround was quick and when I watched it back it was heartwarming to see the spirit of the day shine through.
Thank you.”
“Moritz Schmittat produced a very high quality live stream and subsequent recording of my mother's funeral service. His filming was unobtrusive throughout, and we much appreciated his sympathy and patience during the afternoon.”
“Planning a funeral during a pandemic when there are so many restrictions was not easy and we simply wanted to make my mum’s funeral as special as possible and wanted to share that with all her family and friends. I chose to use Moritz’s services because he understood that and talked me through every stage of the filming process and paid huge attention to detail. On the morning of the funeral there were some small hiccups with the crematorium but Moritz remained calm and unflustered and did his utmost to ensure that external events did not affect what he was commissioned to do. His turnaround time with editing and removing an uncouth priest’s comments (to the funeral director) from the video was excellent, allowing late viewers to view a seamless service. Thank you Moritz. You did an amazing job!”
“A funeral is a very emotional and private occasion. In these difficult times of Covid, Live Streaming is essential to enable all the family to be a part of the service. Moritz Schmittat, has the skill to capture pure quality of sound and image (inside a building, or outside), without being intrusive in any way. He is a kind and sensitive person who has the most amazing audio visual skills and I would highly recommend him for his professionalism.”
“I can’t begin to thank Moritz enough for all he did for us. The family in Canada and in Yorkshire were overwhelmed by the quality of the live stream. We subsequently had a chance to watch the recording and it was perfect in every respect. Having the different camera angles and panning in and out captured the occasion but it was done with such sensitivity and discretion and never felt intrusive. The Church looked stunning and the quality of the sound was first rate, too. It is sad that funerals must necessarily be carried out with so many restrictions in place, but through live-streaming the eight of us in church had so many more people with us. I have no hesitation in giving my wholehearted recommendation to anyone thinking about using Moritz.”
“We have worked with Moritz several times on a variety of funeral live streaming jobs (services in churches, committal at cemetery and also an occasion where there was live participation from an audience abroad with Zoom incorporated into the stream). Moritz is knowledgeable and professional in his approach to streaming, always happy to talk things through and give his best advice to ensure a good and reliable result. It is always a pleasure to work with Moritz and we will definitely work with him again.”
“Moritz handled the streaming of my mother's funeral very well. He arrived and set up early. Acted with the appropriate level of professionalism and discretion.
The feedback I received from relatives was that the image and sound quality was excellent.
This helped us to focus on the funeral, without having to worry about technical issues on the day. Thank you Moritz.”
“I rarely write reviews but moritz provided such an exceptional service i am really compelled to. We were torn on whether to have a streaming service at my fathers funeral, as we were already nervous about the day and didn’t want any cameras interfering with the day. Given we went for the multicam option in the end, we couldn’t be more happy that we went ahead with it. Memorializing such a key day in our life. Moritz was discreet, professional, easy to deal with and the end product was absolutely exceptional. The feedback we got from everyone that watched it was that it made u feel like u were there. That says it all really, i would highly recommend if u are thinking of streaming a funeral, go for it and choose moritz. You will not be disappointed.”
