Testimonials: 

Tim Boxell, Director: My film projects have always been enhanced by Rick's skills. Great eye for color and composition; deep knowledge of lenses and camera movement. Courage and taste. Wit and a high standard of excellence. And he never ever moves around behind the camera when we're shooting Christian Bale...”

Jocelyn Rosenberg, Producer: Rick and I have worked together on a multitude of projects and he never fails to deliver spectacular results. He is meticulous and brings artistry to the simplest shot. He's also one of the most creative DPs I have ever worked with, bringing style and a depth of knowledge that few can offer. It's always a joy to work with Rick.”

Gary Coates, telecine colorist: “I've known Rick for twenty years as an Ansel Adams kind of guy, one that knew he owed you not just a good negative but the printed proof out of the darkroom. He was meticulous in testing available 35mm filmstocks before selecting the one to deliver the dual look of elegance and edge on a feature narrative he shot and I transferred in telecine. In a decade of high end advertising spots we worked on together,Rick always attended the telecine color grading sessions to direct the look through to the finish, the client's steady advocate who knew what the gear could do and made sure I produced. I'm in my post-telecine career now and the darkroom is an AVID, a Final Cut Pro or a digital intermediate grading system. And the negative is now digital, too, out of a RED or HD camera, and the dynamic range is more narrow. That's all the more reason if you want something recovered from a bright highlight or an opaque shadow you need the guy who gets into all those zones. You're looking for Rick Wise.”

Brad Burchill, creative director, The Ranch: "Rick's vision brings a spot to life...taking what could be the ordinary and finding that certain something that makes it interesting, unique and fresh."

Tom Donald, commercial director: "More San Francisco directors owe Rick Wise their reels than any other DP I can think of. I should know. I'm one of those directors."
  

Gary Coates, telecine colorist: "This is the best blue screen I've seen in six months!"
