We cannot give enough praise for Kevin. He was highly recommended to us when our son died unexpectedly. I knew in my grief I couldnt and wouldnt be fully present at his memorials. From the moment I met Kevin, I knew we were in gentle, loving hands. He quickly and quietly became part of our family experience capturing the love in the room magically. The piece Kevin created is both artistically and emotionally stunning. He captured the entire spectrum of emotion and the entirety of two memorial services in two states. He was fully committed with all of his heart to his work and it showed. The video of our son is celebratory, healing and full of intimate love. I am eternally grateful for the eye, heart and skillful hand Kevin brought to our sons memory.

My experience with Diggable Monkey was great. This was my first video project and Im grateful for the way Kevin enabled me realize my idea from conception to completion. Hes a real team player and I appreciate how responsive he was to my input and suggestions along the way. His expertise helped craft a showcase that was classy, professional and accessible. I was amazed at the way Kevin took the all threads and wove everything together. I would highly recommend Diggable Monkey for your next video project!

Kevin helped me with video footage for my online painting course, and spent over two years filming for my husband’s small building company, the Delightful Living Project. Kevin captured footage and interviews on the job site as several small homes were built. He was incredibly competent and wore many hats as he facilitated the documentary-style interviews, and flexible as he worked around the building timeline and construction crews. He is incredibly professional, helpful, patient, and generous. We recommend Kevin highly!

Finding someone as talented and dedicated to the art of video making as Kevin B. is exactly what I was looking for for my video. After telling him what I was looking for/needed he was able to run with that as thou he could see my vision. The flow of work when working with Diggable Monkey was comfortable, he really knew how to direct me and keep me moving forward. I look forward to working with Kevin again.

Working with Kevin of Diggable Monkey was a fun experience, he was easy to work with, very flexible and willing to make any changes to get the video just right. I enjoyed the time we worked on this project and felt it reflected me as a person and where I come from. I do look forward to working with him on another project in the future. I will recommend him to others. Thanks Kevin for the wonderful work and look forward to another awesome video.

I so enjoyed working with Kevin. He wore many different hats during our lengthy project: lighting guy, director, producer, editor, sound technician, details manager, techie consultant, and even cheerleader. He was incredibly professional, kind, gracious, detail - oriented, and qualified. He took a lot of time to make sure we had the best quality both during our shoot and post-production. I will work with him again and recommend him to anyone!

We just recently had Kevin shoot some live music video footage of our vintage swing group. Kevin was very professional and easy to work with. He came to the project with some of his own ideas, and was open to our ideas as well. Were very happy with the final product, and plan to work with him again in the future.

Over the years I have worked with Kevin on many different projects. His work has always been creative, lush, and quite moving. This year he volunteered to help document the first Portland winter light festival. The results were amazing! Beautiful shots and video of artwork from all over the festival. Exciting interviews with artists and attendees alike.If youre looking for a competent, fast and creative filmmaker, Kevin Balmer is your man.

Working with Diggable Monkey was Awesome! Its always a great feeling to hire someone who provides an incredible product and service at a reasonable rate. They worked well with our challenging schedule and needs and handled it all so professionally. I will definitely be using their services again.

Kevin was able to work with us to produce a quality music video and do it efficiently. He was able to help us get our creative vision on video the way it was in our minds. He was able able to add his professional expertise and offer great suggestions when there were things we hadnt thought of.We will definitely be working with him again if and when we make another.

I was referred to Kevin at Diggable Monkey by a mutual friend for a promotional video reel I needed with an imminent deadline. We were in contact almost instantly and he was able to give me a reasonable quote that evening. He was very accommodating to the time restrictions and was able to work with piecing together the media I had. He also brought some ideas that worked very effectively in the final product. He brought himself fully to the work and his proficient pace and professionalism gave me the impression that he was artistically and emotionally invested in the project. He had a great sense of the appropriate aesthetic to apply to the work, he has great communication skills being able to convey technical ideas of video production and even online promotional techniques to a layman such as myself. Im ecstatic with how the video turned out and I am still receiving compliments on its production quality by friends and video professionals alike. I highly endorse (and thank) Diggable Monkey.-Soriah

Kevin was an absolute joy to work with on my video project. He not only had to interview me but also 3 of my clients as part of this project. He traveled around to their locations and he made them each feel comfortable, helped with the interview questions and the conversations, without much input from me. The piece came out genuine and informative. He has great ideas and suggestions which was super helpful and that definitely contributed to the overall flow of the video. He was also extremely knowledgable about how the video would come together, literally patch working things seamlessly into a story that was heartfelt and meaningful. I never once questioned his technical ability or experience as far as editing and proofing and the finished product exceeded my expectations. I now have a beautiful little film that has longevity and stamina for promotional use in my career. Thank you so much for everything Kevin!

Kevin did a beautiful job with our sons memorial. Kevin took this on with such emotion and respect. We didn’t even know we had wanted this video. Our friend suggested it. We are so happy to have it now. We didn’t remember much from that day and with this heartbreaking beautiful video we have some memories. Thank you again!

Kevin was wonderful to work with!! Our project was in conjunction with the Sovereign renovation since the mural is on the Sovereign wall. We wanted to do a video of the mural restoration for our archives and to show our membership. He listened to what we said and worked hard to make sure he gave us the best video he could put together. The video was a huge success with our Trustees and members!

Our band very much enjoyed working with this production team for our recent show at the Crystal Ballroom. The venue was hard to navigate, and they discussed options with us before the show and did a great job with the challenges at hand. They were quick to respond for business correspondence, very helpful in explaining things, and got our footage to us promptly! The footage looks great and we are excited with the outcome!Karolina Lux

Kevin does quality, high end video production. His quiet strength and deep understanding of what looks, feels, and sounds good allows space for creative growth within a project while maintaining a focus which shows up in the final product. It is my pleasure to give Kevin and Diggable Monkey 5 stars!

Kevins work is excellent - his promotional video for my band The Old Yellers was technically excellent both audio and video, but also contained a great story line and theme throughout. Ive also hired him as a consultant/teacher for my own more modest home video studio and hes a patient, articulate, efficient teacher. Highly recommended

Organized, professional, and efficient with a keen eye for detail, Diggable Monkey is the best videography service in the Rose City. Capture your story, cover your profile, or document your event, process, experience, or whatever you have in mind for a fraction of the cost of other companies. Because hes a small operation, he can offer excellent pricing for your project, but is capable of scaling to the size of job by bringing in additional talent when needed. If you have ANY kind of video project in mind, give Kevin a call.

We worked with Kevin Balmer and his company Diggable Monkey to document the restoration of the historic Sovereign Hotel project in downtown Portland. Much more than just a series of film interviews, Keven and his crew created a narrative that followed the trajectory of the building’s history and the challenges faced in bringing it back to former glory. They used a combination of high tech time lapse photography, aerial videography, still shots and well-crafted interviews to tell a compelling authentic story. It is as enjoyable to watch as Kevin and his crew were professional to work with.

Worked with Kevin on a project for a book. He was extremely knowledgeable and the end product blew us out of the water. Very professional and very well done. The finished product really went a long way in our marketing.

An essential part of marketing is storytelling. Kevin Balmer is creates bite sized documentaries that persuade with their authenticity. His work for small business, artists, and creators is what Ken Burns work is to history. Hire him.

Great time working with Diggable Monkey! Professional, delivered on time and easy to work with. Highly recommended for your video project.

Kevin really tuned in to projects needs and did all he could to maximize it’s function and make it the BEST it could possibly be.I will definitely be doing more projects with them in future and highly recommend Diggable Monkey to anyone with creative video production needs.
