WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID...

❝ 'Stand-By.' For anyone whose had the pleasure of working with Duane, these words will resonate... for it's in this stand-by mode that Duane often works his magic and we, as clients and observers, come to realize Duane's creative and technical GREATNESS is only surpassed by something even more special. That he cares about creating an atmosphere in which collaboration is embraced, creativity can blossom, quality is assumed... and lifelong friendships are born and sustained.

Chief Creative Officer at FAVILLI STUDIO & Disney Imagineer

❝ Many years ago, when we wanted to rethink how video could tell a story, Duane and I collaborated on a series of industrial projects for major organizations. His "eye" is beyond compare in how he "sees" what the camera can capture; his patience is amazing; and his discipline is welcome. I learned so much from Duane and, years later, I still rely on those lessons. Thank you.
