I had very specific demands for my project, not only was Craig more then able to accommodate, unlike other pros who said what I was asking for was not feasible he was able to do it and then some, and even work within my budget. He showed up early for the job (in downtown san fransisco) and was the last to leave. All communication was in a timely manner and I feel i got a top quality final product. Its just too bad this project was on the road or I would use him exclusively, but highly recommended in the bay area. His work will be at the top of my portfolio.

We are a production company based in Canada and we've worked with many film professionals. We highly recommend Craig in every way. He is professional and a pleasure to work with. His vast film knowledge and experience was highly beneficial for our shoot, and thanks to Craig, everything went smoothly. We look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

Craig did an amazing job with the video. I spoke at a conference and he used two cameras to capture a larger view and close up that followed me. The end results was excellent. He was on time and easy to work with. Highly recommend him.

Great working with Craig. Super personable. Very professional. Made himself available on very short notice. Helped my band capture a great club performance. Would recommend him and will work with him again on future video projects.

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?My rates are extremely competitive and includes an extensive kit as part of my daily hire fee. My kit includes everything you will need for a small shoot or a large multi-camera production; covering camera, lenses, lighting and sound.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?I like to spend time discussing project with clients. Making sure I'm familiar with their project's goals and message. Being open to their desired look and offering techniques or equipment that might help with the overall satisfaction of their video project.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?don't use thumbtack. Use a professional agency for your video production needs.
