"Terry and his team responded tremendously well to two demanding PBS shoots that required both the quality of one of our documentaries and the quick-thinking and responsiveness of a breaking news assignment. Terry was well-prepared, had a great reaction to last minute changes and produced very compelling material under difficult lighting and sound conditions. He has a wonderful attitude that the hi-powered corporate executives we profile on "CEO Exchange" very much appreciated. I look forward to working with Terry and his team again."

"Since the spring of 1999 Terry Shiels has produced "The Zoo FileZ," an
award-winning series of two-minute TV features on the North Carolina Zoo.
Due to the high quality of Terry's work, the Zoo has been successful in syndicating "The Zoo FileZ" on ten stations in North Carolina's major television markets."The Zoo FileZ" currently reaches an estimated weekly audience of
nearly 300,000 viewers. As a state agency with no budget for paid advertising,
this series has proven to be the most effective means of increasing public awareness of the Zoo through television. Terry Shiels is not only an outstanding
director and storyteller, but his commitment to nature and saving the
environment make him the perfect partner for the zoo and its mission
of wildlife conservation. We strongly endorse Terry for any video projects
your organization might be considering."

"One of the most important events Bank of America has ever undertaken was the introduction of our new brand name this year. The video you produced for us, "Dawn of a New Era," was one of the crowning achievements of this introduction. While the video was incredible, maybe the most impressive part was that you were able to take all of the numerous requirements we had with Brand Management, Marketing, and our state president, inject your creative magic and skill in conveying our message, and produce a piece that we'll brag about for years ! Thanks for caring as much as we did!"

Vic Howie
Senior Vice President

I have worked with Terry on several TV and video production projects ~ both Video News Releases and B-Roll. In my eight years as Media and Public Relations Manager at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa. In every instance he has delivered high quality work, on-time and on-budget. He is a great collaborator, extremely creative and highly skilled. His connections in the media enable him to add value to his work by extending the reach
of his clients. I would recommend Terry to anyone who wants
professional video work done in a professional and creative manner.
