Ive worked with several video production companies, none of which have matched the positive experience I had with James Drake Films. James took the time to truly understand our project before jumping in. He was professional throughout the project, and our end video turned out amazing. Highly recommend!

We have now worked with James Drake Films twice, after our initial search we hired James to shoot our event in 2018 since we needed a local option, he has all the right gear and is nimble on his feet since this was a run and gun couple of days. The end result was awesome footage for our highlight video, so good we just did it again in 2019. If your looking for a local cameraman that delivers quality footage and is great to work with in the Denver/Colorado area, James is your guy.

James is a quintessential and extremely talented professional. He provides extraordinary equipment that he utilizes with great expertise. His success is evidenced by his ability to bring out the best in his subject. He is a very good listener, which I believe is the key to the artful quality of his work. His interviewing skills are phenomenal and he was able to direct, produce and shoot the piece on location with ease. His assistant, Sean, was very astute and accommodating. I feel privileged to have worked with them on a production that will represent my persona at my companys international management meeting in December. I recommend James Drake Films for any project, any setting, any production that you may have in mind. I cant say enough about what a fantastic experience I had working with James Drake Films. Incredible!

I contacted two firms for a corporate case study video editing proposal, and not only was James Drake Films quality equal or better in terms of output, but the price was incredibly reasonable. We couldnt be happier with the final outcome. This vendor takes instruction incredibly well, including a single round of final edits that matched our requests perfectly. I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again. Not only was our Fortune 500 client very happy with how they appeared, but our Sales and Marketing teams are immensely excited to share the video and get the word out.

James Drake Films was amazing to work with as a videographer partner. James was ultra responsive and completed filming and editing for us in one day for a rush job that we had. He was extremely flexible and easy to work with under very demanding conditions. His rates were very fair and his deliverables were of excellent quality, even under rushed circumstances. I would highly recommend James Drake Films and look forward to working with James again on our next film project.

Weve used James Drake Films to help capture the visuals of some of our favorite work. I can be a spontaneous director to work with and James ability to shift creative directions while not compromising the shots is unmatched. If Im headed on set with James Drake as the DP, Im confident well have fun on set and well return with what we need to tell a beautiful story.

JDF is top notch from planning all the way to editing and presentation. James walks with you every step to make sure each and every detail is exactly to the preference of the client. I was astounded to see how much pride he took in his work and how efficiently he operated. Aside from incredible customer service and business operations, his creativity is incredulous. He has an eye for unique shots and unique presentation that is perfectly suited to the ideals of the clients. I used his services for a music video and he went above and beyond my expectations. He created a music video that was unlike anything else out there and it was above and beyond my standards and expectations. If you want professional class, ingenious presentation, and someone who wants your dreams as badly as you do, go see JDF. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

James and I have worked on 4 or 5 projects together now. Hes always been on-time, equipment tuned up, great attitude, and helped me to understand how to direct and get the intended results from the subjects. Hes got a creative mindset, positive attitude, and a wealth of experience to back it up. These guys produce very high quality videos at a competitive price, and I cant imagine working with anyone else! Thanks James for all your work over the years. Look forward to keeping it up.

Our company has worked with James for years. He consistently produces standout video content for us with an eye for detail and a knack for making even our most camera-shy customers feel at ease.Turnaround on editing is always quick, thorough, and the quality of his work is second to none. In addition, although a true visual artist, James is also an affable fellow who is exceedingly easy to work with and takes great care of his clients. I certainly recommend James Drake Films.

James is not only a joy to work with, but produces extremely high-quality, creative, and beautiful pieces that I love to have represent my company. He responds to requests quickly, is open and honest about pricing, shows up on time (or before!), and exceeds expectations on his final product. I highly recommend him for any film services needed!

I have chosen to work with James Drake Films on a couple projects, and the experience has been outstanding. James is the owner and operates the business at the highest levels of professionalism. He knows his gear, his tech, and has the talents and experience to tell a truly engaging story. James Drake Films puts your project first, and it is clear the motivation is to give you the best possible project, not simply to collect a paycheck at the end by doing the minimum amount of work. James brings a quality team to the table, solid production and tech, and has the intangibles that can push your project over the edge to something you never dreamed possible. There are none of those cheesy local commercials coming out of this shop! I have been completely impressed by the quality and value James Drake Films provides. Would definitely use again.

James and his wife, Hannah, have a magical way of conveying their subjects personality, can tell a story with a just a picture, and know exactly how to capture their audiences attention and keep them wanting more. It has been a pleasure working with James Drake Films, and I continue to be awed by the outcome of their hard work. James and Hannah are a professional, empathetic, and highly artistic duo who are a great asset to our community.

Ive been working with James for about 5 years now and I highly recommend him. James is very well rounded with his technical knowledge and storytelling ability. I have hired him to be a Gaffer, DP, Camera Operator and Editor and each time he exceeds my expectations. His grip truck and Red Epic package are a huge bonus to all of the services he provides.

I needed a solid cinematographer and crew for a 2 day corporate shoot in Denver. After talking with several production companies in Denver, I selected James Drake Films because of his knowledge, expertise and skills. I was flying blind into Denver with a short turnaround and James was able to make everything go off without a hitch. He has a fantastic eye and I HIGHLY recommend using his services.

James Drake Films exhibited an excellent level of creative expertise and production know-how in my corporate shoot in Denver. They were great partners in pre-production, and they came through when it was time to shoot. In addition, James himself is a top notch cinematographer; I was quite happy with his visual eye.

James was fantastic to work with. I had a very involved shoot out in Tuscon, AZ, and I knew lighting would be our greatest challenge. He came over-prepared with a lighting truck and an extremely strong skill set. He also helped shoot my interview and b-roll. Our footage came out beautifully, and our interview shot was lit to perfection. I would highly recommend James for any shoot moving forward, and I hope to work with him again soon.His wife tagged along on our shoot and was a tremendous help to both James and myself. Shes a real trooper and knows her way around the lighting truck.Thank you James Drake Films!

James is an excellent videographer and skilled lighting tech. His grip truck and lighting gear are both top-notch. His Red camera was just what we needed on our last shoot. On top of all of this, I found James professionalism and kind disposition to be just what I wanted around clients and partners. We plan to use James whenever we can.

James is a remarkable director/producer. It was a privilege to work with him and his crew on the set of It Stops With Me. The experience was a grounded and dimensional effort and James created a space for me as an actor to explore and make choices. At the end of the shoot, I left inspired and enriched. Mr Drake, you have amazing talent and many brilliant films in your future.Sarah Joy HirlemanActor

I worked closely with James and his colleagues on a 30-second spot he created for us in 2014. He and his crew were consummate professionals in every sense and we had a great time, too! But -- most importantly -- the product that he created for us exceeded our expectations and represented our organization perfectly. We received an award for the spot and have gotten so much use out of it in a variety of platforms. I wouldnt hesitate to work with JDF again on future high-end projects.

James Drake has been producing professional videos for HighJump for years now, and weve been extremely satisfied. Not only is his production quality amazing, but hes also a great business partner. James has taken the time to learn our business and each product line, which shows in how he delivers our stories. He is detail oriented as well as a strategic sounding board. He has unbelievable interviewing skills and knows how to make all talent involved feel comfortable and relaxed.As a marketing director, I rely on my vendors to take some of the worries and work off my plate. I know I can always trust James. He knows the ins and outs of video, gets projects done on time, and can help me dream up the output for better impact.

Working with James was truly a pleasure. The time building to a shoot can be a lot of stress on the people relying on the outcome. James was very professional throughout the entire process, always providing ideas as well as asking for input. His optimism and confidence were just what my project needed. The outcome was truly remarkable, for a small startup on a budget, the rewards far outreached the cost.I can without hesitation recommend James Drake Films to anyone from the small startup company to the big dogs.
