The first thing I noticed about Derek..he is a good listener. He also explained all he was planning and why. He arrived on time and made the whole thing look so easy. The whole process was stress free, productive and fun at the same time. His work is amazing. He is a perfectionist and knows his stuff. The end product and the editing our video was amazing. I definitely recommend him. Looking forward to working with Derek again in the near future.

I worked with Derek on a car video project. I am a nonprofessional and was looking for a videographer only but what I got was so much more. Derek discussed the project with me, helped to find the studio, light, and equipment rentals plus assistant. Even with some challenges in the studio we finished on time and took all the high-resolution footage we needed for the ad. We have been on a budget and overrun is the biggest risk on a project likes this. This was my first time working with Derek and I will gladly hire him again. I looked for a video guy and what I got was a full-fledged filmmaker with experience in everything like equipment, editing, videography, organization, and more. This set of his experience helped in the overall execution of this project. Before I hired Derek I already committed to a film editor but Derek selfless gave his input and advice. This industry comes with a range of people and Derek turned out to be professional knowledgeable, trustworthy, on time and delivers high-quality work within the given budget. Derek is one of the reasons this project was successful. thanks again, Mansour once the project has been published I will add some pictures and links .

Working with Derek was a pleasure from start to finish. He was responsive in getting me a quote and on top of the project all the way through. He showed up on time, was professional, patient (we're not very experienced at doing videos), and brought a lot of good ideas to the process which helped alot. His price was very fair and he handled everything. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone.

Derek did an amazing job shooting and directing my music video. I was so impressed by his vision for the video and the final result exceeded my expectations. I hope to work with him again soon!

Good Take is very easy, laid back environment to work with. You get the most bang for your dollar with fast and efficient results. For example, within 24 hours of shooting my video, my masterpiece was ready to be published to the world. High quality videography and photo stills. Obviously, I will be back!

  Being new to Thumbtack, I'm accepting prices that are below industry standard until I gain more positive reviews and connections. I guarantee quality and innovation in my work, and utilize over 12 years of experience in the field.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  First I try to find out what the goal of the customer's video is, and where its going to be shown. Then I elicit their ideas and give my own input if asked. If they need new ideas for concepts, I search for popular examples on the internet, and we discuss what ideas we'd like to pursue.

  2 years studying film, and mainly online training.
