Pixel Fish doesn't pay it;'s bills

They are buying other companies, but neglect to pay their bills. They hired a network of cameraman from around the country to film various commercial shoots for Yellowbook.com and they haven't paid their bills to at least 9 different vendors for 6 months. When contacted they lie and say the check it on it's way. They have used our work on Yellowbook.com but haven't paid for that usage. This company is not be trusted. If they are so great why don't they pay their bills.

Do Not Trust PixelFish!!!!! We were hired by Pixel Fish video to film an interview for them back in February of 2009 and they have not payed their bill nor will they return our phone calls. Spoke with Michael David several times leading up to the shoot but can not get a hold of him after sending him the footage. PixelFish is a scam!

Pixelfish is a SCAM

I agree with everyone! We did a lot of work for them for YellowBook.com and getting paid by pixelfish is a complete nightmare. Besides the fact that it pays so very little it adds to the insult when you can't get paid for your hard work. This is also giving yellowbook.com a bad name too. GOOD.

Pixelfish absolutely does

Pixelfish absolutely does not pay its independent contractors. They hire videographers to shoot these Yellowbook ads and what not and don't honor their own contract that promises pay within 30 days. The company is a disgrace. Anyone who hires PixelFish should know how this company operates and what a dishonorable organization it is.

PixelFish, Inc. is deceitful and dishonest

I absolutely agree with the previous four comments. It's a runaround with these nefarious characters who make demands on independent contractors, then steal their work by never paying the invoice. Many folks think that a couple of hundred bucks is not worth chasing after, much less going to court over, and I'm sure that's what these PixelFish characters are counting on. In the information age, this type of behavior will soon catch up to them. To anyone who cares, AVOID PIXELFISH, INC. and DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. I can tell you from personal experience that they tell big fat lies. PixelFish Stinks!
