Testimonials
Here's what our clients are saying...
"We have worked with Descriptive Video Works for the past 8 years on many CTV programs, as well as shows for Comedy Network, Discovery Television, W5, Corner Gas, Hiccups, 11th Hour, and numerous other programs. They know how to deliver on their promises. Recently we gave them a new challenge, to do LIVE description and they exceeded our expectations - together we did Live description for So You Think You Can Dance (Canada) and the Junos Award Ceremony. We’ve received great feedback on these programs.”
Harold Wesley, Senior Director of on air Operations Bell Media
"Descriptive Video Works has done a wonderful job making the comedy genius of Lucille Ball accessible to the visually impaired. Both Lucy and my father came from a radio comedy background, so much of I Love Lucy's humor is in the soundtrack. But a crucial element of the show's phenomenal worldwide success is Lucy's physical comedy, and by filling in that missing piece, described video allows the visually impaired to experience I Love Lucy in a way never before possible."
Gregg Oppenheimer, Son of I Love Lucy creator Jess Oppenheimer
"When we received 179 I Love Lucy shows to describe I knew I could trust Descriptive Video Works to do a great job. Their work has always been of the highest quality. Descriptive Video Works shows its' commitment to improving accessibility to on-screen programming day in and day out. They have described thousands of hours of programming for us, including more than 100 feature films. Their described-video services play a key part in helping Accessible Media Inc (AMI) fulfill its mandate of making “Television That Includes Everyone."
Brian Perdue Director of Programming, Accessible Media Inc. (AMI)

"A friend told me about this really great show Corner Gas and it had descriptions with it! I’m blind so I was thrilled, and hey, the show was really funny! I’ve been hooked ever since. With each new episode I hear your excellent descriptions! I hope this can continue! This is the first show from TV that I know of that has the descriptions with each episodes. Keep up the great work. I can thank my friend, if he hadn't shown me the show, I would be missing a really funny and great show! Thanks again for your descriptions!"

"Professional, punctual, painless. Perfection! I worked with Descriptive Video Works on the series Endgame. Brent quickly turned the shows around to meet our very demanding delivery schedule. DV Works ensured that the delivery format was a seamless interface for our video post workflow, which required the 5.1 audio in the dolby stream. I've worked on many other television series with Descriptive Video Works through the years and I know I can count on them."
Kandi Dibley, Post Production Supervisor “Endgame”
"My experience with Descriptive Video Works has been good across the board, they are clearly in this business for the right reasons. They are very successful at balancing priorities, both creating a quality experience for audiences with impaired vision and always satisfying any of the technical and scheduling requirements of broadcast television. It is to their credit, and our benefit, that the quality of their customer service while accomplishing this balance is always friendly and excellent."
Jeff Maus, Supervisor, Enterprise Media Management, TVO
“From the experience I have had, working with Diane’s company so far, I really like their values, their approach and how caring they are at delivering their services to their blind and vision-impaired audience. Diane took the trouble to seek me out and to approach me, as an individual, to work collaboratively with her and her staff, to ensure that the job they are doing is appropriate and meets the highest standards possible. I have been blind since the age of two, have worked and traveled in many different countries, and, for the last 20 odd years have enjoyed helping to raise our family at home. I love fashion, history, news and health information programs so, to have many of my interests in life brought into my home through Descriptive Television is absolutely wonderful. I really look forward to the progress of this great service so that the lives of people who are blind and visually impaired will be enhanced.”
Rosamund van Leeuwen
“I commend Descriptive Video Works for making our lives more enjoyable. Although entertainment and television may not be considered a necessity of life, it certainly contributes to the quality. When I am speaking with my sighted friends I like to be able to contribute to the conversation when they are talking about what they’ve see on television. It would be absolutely wonderful to have more shows with video descriptive . Everyone is always talking about what they’ve seen on television and as a blind person I would like to have the same ability.”
