"The great thing about making videos with Leo, is that he is not only a really lovely guy to work with, but he also has an incredible array of skills. He does it all, great camera work, great editing, great audio recording but best of all he brings a sensitive musical intelligence to the process of filming musicians, so the end result is deeply satisfying on many levels." Helen Mountfort
"Leo was wonderful to work on with this project for the Brunswick Women's Choir. He was always sensitive and attentive to the scope, despite the fact that working with a large group is challenging. We are thrilled with the end result, and Leo's attention to detail, artistic intergrity and skillful craft is evident in the outcome." Cathy Nixon
"Leo Dale is a consummate professional and a very skillful video producer. We have worked together on a number of community projects and I have to commend him for the way he is able to put people at the ease even while he sets up video cameras, microphones and lights around them. Of course it is his editing, that then brings the material to life. He puts together a polished and professional whole - on time, on budget and on top!" Julian Silverman
