Creative direction

" '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.

I used to describe [Duane] as a Gifted Editor/Director, but having worked with "gifted editor/directors" since then, that is a a sad undervaluation. I do not know what to call a person that can take the most seemingly boring footage and arrange in a way I cannot turn off. In short, if I get a link from him entitled "30 minutes of Paint Drying" I will have to watch it. Something somewhere deep within the topic will have caught his eye and turned it from mundane into magnificent. He is a pleasure to work with, a comfortable collaborator and direct and constructive communicator. But moreover, he is truly a creator and inventor in his medium of dynamic linear imagery and engagement of people in the topic at hand.
