Testimonials


I have had the privilege of working with Brian Pelzel, most recently through his company Blue Plate Digital, for over 25 years. During that time Brian has heroically served as our Media Production Genie-in-a-Bottle. He has worn more “hats” than can be counted, filling every job that was needed to get the job done from grip to producer. He has perilously hung out of the open door of a helicopter while shooting video over the Gorge Amphitheater, and has soothed rock star egos at music video productions. Regardless of what we asked of him, the results were always stellar, on budget and on time. I look forward to working with Blue Plate Digital into the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We at McDonald's Fine Furniture have certainly been extremely pleased with the quality and fresh ideas that your company has been able to produce for us over these past 7 years.

Previously, when we were with another company, our story was not being told in the way that we wanted.

Over the years, we have grown as a business and our needs have changed and you were there with great ideas and enthusiasm. Your company is not only innovative, but extremely easy to work with. Your crews are always pleasant and accommodating to work with on the day of shooting. We love the fact that if we need any commercial produced, you have them readily available online! That makes it really easy for us to manage them for additional marketing purposes! When we were on an extreme budget you always knew what to do to still make it awesome and impactful. We would truly recommend your company anytime! Thanks for all of your hard work and efforts!

Brian and Blue Plate Digital are creative geniuses! They took an unrealized idea and turned it into reality creating one of the best commercials this side of appliance and racing – flawlessly combining the two. Truly talented in their respective field and an absolute pleasure to work with – would recommend across the board!

I can't think of but maybe five names of people I would trust in doing quality television production with and Brian Pelzel is one of them. Having known this fine fellow since the Stone Age, and having used his services more times than I can count, I can state with some degree of authority Pelzel is a top notch, extremely sharp television editor/director/producer/writer with a great eye, solid talent (derived from years of experience in all manner of god-awful trenches) and is a guy who has superb administrative skills as well.

In a pinch he can even do a voice over (God, but I hate guys with that much talent). The man is honest to a fault, works well with any kind of folk (including me who can be demanding and a pain) and delivers high value for the money. If you're smart you'll put Pelzel/Blue Pate Digital's number at the top of the list in every cell phone you own. I would have framed Pelzel's considerable talents in even rosier terms but he only sent me so much money. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I have known Brian since our days working together at KTZZ in the early 90's. Over the years we have collaborated on many projects and I would highly recommend Brian for numerous reasons. He develops a mutual respect with his clients, delivers high quality work within an agreed upon budget, and understands the importance of hitting deadlines.  Brian is a true professional and a master at his craft. I have referred many of my clients to him.  He and Blue Plate Digital have developed a solid reputation within the media industry!

I have worked with Brian Pelzel and his company for many years. He is truly a very talented person and his projects are on time and on budget. He makes my company and "me" look good. When I need a TV spot he is the only one I will call.

Many Bigger Picture clients are just starting to advertise and they need to maximize every one of their marketing dollars. Brian is an expert in making fantastic commercials - even when it involves the smallest of budgets. I’ve had the pleasure of bringing various clients to him and they all love his work. Brian continues to be a go-to guy for me and Bigger Picture Productions.

Greg Butcher, Owner

Brian Pelzel and the whole Blue Plate Digital team for that matter are terrific to work with. You never have to "light a creative fire" under them nor look over their shoulder to ensure a great finished product. They are fueled by a ton of pride and always want to push the quality envelope. I've never been more comfortable working with a production company in my professional life. Would I recommend them... NO. I want them available to bmh marketing at all times (just kidding).

As has been the case for the past 20 years or so, when I need a TV spot produced, I call Brian Pelzel. I don't know how many spots Brian has made for me over those years, but I'm sure it's way more than 200 spots. In the early days of his career at a Seattle TV station, he was assigned to one of my projects. After that first experience with him, I began requesting Brian for all my TV production jobs. After he was promoted to production manager at that station, I continued to use him and his staff for all my production work. Now with his own firm, he still warrants a call when anything of a shooting or editing nature is needed. The reason is the same now as when he was first starting out: his friendly, attentive expertise.
