To all our past clients, we thank you!
Sound Visions Media was a California-based media production and services company, that provided video production and post services and more from 2010 to 2025. We had a good run but are no longer operating or doing full service productions. So we’d like to thank all of our clients that we served over the years, and Jeff will now continue to operate as an independent contractor under Pixel Painter – a brand he established when he first started digital design work in 1991 in his studio located in Brea, CA. The business finally converted in July, 2025.
