“Super fast turn around. Very professional and well done. The client only requested one small revision, which was turned around in less than 24 hours. The shoot was on a Monday and we had approved creative ready for launch by Wednesday. One of our local radio DJ’s needed help shooting a video for social for an endorsement client. The client was extremely happy with the outcome. Highly recommend. Will be using again. Thanks Daniel!”
