It's great to work with Craig again. He is able to take direction well and incorporate his own creative shots. I was able to put Craig in touch with the character and folks coordinating the shoot and he took it from there. Would definitely hire him again.

Craig identified a story that was under the radar and provided us with everything we asked for to a "t". The shot sheet was very specific and the video wonderfully composed and shot.

Two hundred years after Abraham Lincoln was born, I asked the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to recite the 16th president's most famous speech. From the lowest sailors who work below decks to the captain and admiral on the bridge, the crew read aloud the stirring words with vigor and heartfelt meaning.
