We rented video camera's from here to film the commercial for our construction company. I like that these guys are locally owned, close in-town and would recommend them for anyone looking to rent cameras or video recording equipment.
The company I work for recently rented from Picture This in order to support our multicam unit. As an engineer who doesn't require the services of a dedicated tech to assist with prep, Picture This Production Services & Stage rental was the perfect solution for our budget & workflow. Unlike other rental houses, Picture This doesn't heap fees onto your rental bill when you rent less than a complete camera system, or opt-out of a prep bay session. More than that, the staff was welcoming and recognized how important it was for us to find our first rental house. They were attentive to our needs and were willing to take the extra effort to make sure our business relationship started off on an amiable note.
Also, they do in fact have a dedicated technician that works in a separate repair office (just across the street). I was able to meet him when I was a steadicam trainee running repairs back and forth. He's a very knowledgeable engineer and kindly answered any questions that I had whenever I would visit.
Our agency is new to Portland and needed a sound stage for a short-term project - Picture This came highly recommended, super easy to work with, Jon and the team bent over backwards to accomodate a ton of last minute requests. We pulled off an ACE of a 2 day shoot with their team, studio and gear. Highly recommended. !!!!
A great team of people who are ready to help however they can. Whether for production rental equipment or live event gear and staging, I've used PTPS many times and they have always delivered. Highly recommend.
I've worked with Perry and his crew at Picture This Productions making TV commercials for more than 20 years. And the reason is that they simply never disappoint. I"m now recently retired. So, I have nothing to gain by looking back and giving props to some of the people I've worked with who made my work look good. And, did it on time, even when the deadline was sometimes short. And, did it on budget, even when sometimes the budget was small. And, did it all with great energy and a genuine smile. I can't recommend Picture This Production Services enough.
Helpful staff, willing to do what it takes to make things right.
I formed my professional development company at about the same time Perry and Sari created Picture This Production Services. That was over 30 years ago and we have been partners ever since. They have helped us use media in all forms to deliver our messages and training to the great benefit of our clients. PixThis also has helped us conduct numerous very successful conferences and training events. These guys define the term "professional".
Here is an update! I just finished a producing/directing another great awards show for my longtime client (26 years). That is why I love having Picture This Production Services as my staging/production support team. We have worked together all over the world and it's a fantastic experience every time!
I have worked with Picture This Production Services for over 23 years. They have been my first choice for all kinds of production services. They provide me with production crew as well as studio space along with film & video equipment for shoots of all sizes... mega to mini.
I also use PTPS for my live show and event production rentals; lighting, sound, video, projection, crew, you name it, they provide it for me.
It's not just about the quality of the crew and equipment but the quality of the management of PTPS.
They provide the service and attention to detail that I demand and expect with a top notch operation.
I travel the world with those guys and proud to have them here at home!

Perry and his team are the best. They advised us on best solutions for our "special needs" venue (a big tent), and the result was so good, attendees to our food festival commented on how terrific the A/V was. Thank you Perry and team - highly recommend Picture This Production Services & Stage.
I hope Kaddish for Bernie Madoff becomes the huge hit it deserves to be and the director, the star and all involved in this highly entertaining and informative production receive the highest encomium
This is a great place to film and and the folks that own it, Perry and Sari are proactive, very customer service oriented and a joy to work with. I also commend 2 of their employees, Zach and Justin, who take pride in doing all they can to make their clients happy.
The facility has equipment available on site, a large roll up door to load in equipment and I especially appreciate that they care enough to provide an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in the studio.
I've been a film production professional for over 25 years and been at Picture This many times for a variety of projects and been happy and thankful each time.
The only downside I would note is that for large productions, parking can be challenging, but street parking can be reserved in advance.
My agency uses Picture This's services frequently because they make sure every step of the production process goes smoothly and looks professional. They don't stop working until they know you're satisfied with the final product. And they're friendly too!
Our production company rents from Picture This all the time. Great communication, friendly folks, and competitive inventory and rates!
As SVP of Sales for ADP, I came to rely on Picture This exclusively for all of my meetings, conferences, webcasts, creative videos, and events. Perry and his team worked so well with ADP, they became part of the family. They took the time to understand the culture, and specific goals we were trying to accomplish. They worked behind the scenes diligently and professionally to ensure "the show" was flawless. I found them to be a calming presence in the high anxiety environment of a large corporate event. In terms of innovation, Perry was a consistent advocate of new avenues of communication for us. For example, in 2005 Perry was the though leader behind our regular quarterly webcast. Professionally filmed and broadcast - at a fraction of the cost of an all hands meeting. As our events and webcasts became more and more sophisticated, Perry ensured we were alway presenting a first class image. I trusted Perry, Sari, and the Picture This team with my most important events. Complete, full, 100% trust in the Picture This team.
Portland Oregon was where i was. Born in. Long to go back Home
The guys at Picture this went out of their way to help us out. We were in from out of town and forgot some equipment. They rounded it up for us and sent someone over to meet us before they were open so we could drop it off before we slipped out of town. Will definitely go back there the next time we're in town.
Picture This has provided my design company with video equipment rentals and video production services since 2005. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Their equipment is well managed and taken care of. It doesn t matter if I need lighting, a teleprompter, a post production edit session or a lens. I know that when I call Picture This my project is in good hands.
Have worked with Perry and his team for 2 years and each event they prove to be a true partner. As a small firm, it is important we partner with teams that will help us deliver a first class experience for our clients. Picture This is definitely our "go to" company for production...and they are just fun to work with as an added bonus!
We needed film equipment rentals within 24 hours and Nathan helped us achieve this crazy feet. His optimism, professionalism, and overall openness to help will be forever marked with our gratitude! And he pulled through, getting the rentals organized in plenty of time! Thanks Nathan! -- Sarah & Rocco
Great crew to work with, professional and assisted with ensuring COVID compliance was followed. Justin, Hunter and Perry were excellent partners and would definitely work with them again!
For professional cameras and projector rentals for events, this is the place!
The team at Picture This is simply amazing. They helped produce a video for me. Their editing and professionalism created a video that wowed the audience. They truly have their customers best interest in mind. I look forward to working with them again.
Warning to all production companies. Do not use this company. If you are a sophisticated company that requires top level performance from your vendors this is not the place to go. If you are looking for a rental equipment for a wedding you might consider this company. They are very unfriendly to larger productions and have a very rude manner. We strongly advise all of the people that we work with to avoid this company at all cost.
As a freelance cinematographer, I highly recommend Picture This as the place to rent a wide variety of high quality professional camera gear and more. Whether a project needs a little or lot, they are the perfect one stop shop. They have two sound stages, grip and lighting, audio, and many other gear items not available anywhere else in town. My out of town clients love it when I tell them they can also book their entire crew through Picture This. I also really appreciate their customer service. All of the Picture This staff are extremely helpful, courteous, and thoroughly professional. They don t just rent gear, they help me provide creative solutions for difficult challenges. That s why I ve done business with them for over 20 years.
