I am passionate about story telling whether it's a feature, heritage piece, corporate promotion or a 30 second commercial. I am a Producer, Director of Photography, and Editor.
I and team, which I bring in when necessary, treat every project with the same touch of detailed excellence. In our eyes they are all our babies out there, and we want them to succeed the way each are meant to. This goes for corporate to single person projects.
Creating beautiful footage and piecing it together to create a top-quality video. Sometimes you hear a song you've never heard before and it seems like that song has always existed, but just needed someone to let it out. That's the approach I take.
I normally work in the corporate world, but use Thumbtack to keep me on my toes and get a variety of different projects to offset, so give me a ring and let’s make it happen!
Dedicated to your success,
DFW Metro Media

Hired on Thumbtack
What can I say about Darren! Let me think...he is "Awesome!" I previously had a retirement party and wanted a "music video" for the event!
The music video was the hit of the party!
He was personable and catered to all my needs! I truly will recommend him to EVERYONE & if I have another event, he will definitely be requested. Great customer service, a terrific videographer and a super-duper "people" person!
Grab him before he gets overbooked! Your loss if you don't hire him for your next event!

Hired on Thumbtack
I hired Darren at the last minute for a client event. I hired him for videography, photography as well as post production. The communication throughout the process was excellent and although he was a little late on deadline the end product was very good and we will be able to use it for our marketing purposes. I would work with him again next time we are in the Dallas area for an event.
Details: Corporate event • 51 - 100 guests • Indoors • Highlight video (3 - 4 minutes) • Raw footage • Music overlay • Raw footage

We loved working with Darren. He does very high quality work and was extremely creative in how he captured our vision for the video. Honestly, he made magic. He was easy to communicate with and really cared about our business. I would recommend him to anyone!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There is no complicated pricing system here. I have set prices, and depending on what the needs are, and work with most budgets.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typical process for working with new customers is finding out what their needs are and matching them to their budget. From there we delve deeper into it and plan the process... Get the message right, spend the required amount to get the message out, and make sure to take care of every customer who responds.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always taking courses to stay up on new technology, emerging techniques and tricks of the trade to advance my knowledge and keep up with my industry. I also give back by co-teaching seminars on video production.
