Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Video Modes supported us across several different types of productions, including real estate, construction, maritime, automotive, and specialty camera work. The scope included professional drone cinematography for a real estate project, aerial and ground-based production support on construction projects, and DP/cinematography work for interview-driven pieces. Justin also worked with us on maritime productions, and provided specialty automotive footage using a car-mounted camera rig. Key deliverables included high-quality aerial footage, underwater footage, stabilized automotive rig shots, professionally composed interview coverage, supporting B-roll, and cinematography that integrated smoothly into the larger stories we were producing. Across each project, Justin was prepared, technically capable, creative, easy to collaborate with, and consistently delivered footage that elevated the final piece.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What I find most impressive about Justin is how versatile he is without feeling like a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve brought him onto projects for drone work, traditional DP work, interviews, underwater shooting, automotive camera-rig work, construction, and maritime productions, and he approaches all of it with the same level of professionalism and creative judgment. He’s also more than just a technically skilled camera operator. Justin understands story, knows how to make good visual decisions in the moment, and can work comfortably around clients while still getting what the production needs. That combination of technical capability, storytelling instinct, and professionalism is what makes him someone I continue to hire.
