"After showing initiative by responding to an open call for help in a film school news letter, Noel came on as a camera PA for our short feature Sam's Day. He assisted us in setting up various shots and moving equipment around set. Noel was quick on his feet and eager to help out on set. He is an effective communicator, and worked collaboratively to keep the production running smoothly. Noel is very aware of his surroundings and often did work without being directed, there were cases in which we were short of people to hold the boom mic and Noel stepped up to help record sound for various shots. He is diligent and resourceful, and is a quick learner. I highly recommend Noel as a production assistant and would absolutely work with him again."

"Noel assisted the 3-day SingularityU Japan Summit as a Video Production Intern. Noel operated two Ricoh Theta 360° Cameras, and edited the footage into a 1-2 minute promotional reel at the end of each day. Noel is hardworking and adaptable. He was motivated and eager to assist me throughout the 3-days. Noel showed excellent skills in choreographing shots and strategically placing the cameras in the event halls. His edits were put together skillfully resulting in an impressive promotional video."

"Mr. Noel Rafizadeh-Kabe has been my intern for more than two months this summer and has shown competency, motivation, and dedication above and beyond in all areas during his internship. The internship included video editing, web updating and PR material design and posting. He was involved in several projects but most notably performed remarkably well, both in his promptness and quality on video editing of our PR videos for the website. I have asked Noel to take on the role of our assistant PR and marketing director shortly after seeing his work, and he has displayed critical points that demonstrated his exceptional ability to analyze our business which were all reflected in the finished products. All PR materials I had requested of him are exemplary and often lauded by the viewers as well as our team. Most notable were his video editing skills for our previous workshops’s Leaders, which shows his vast knowledge of technology and displays his exceptional grasp of what we needed. Without reservation, I recommend Noel highly and am extremely grateful to have had his help this summer."
