Recommendations
"Chris was incredible to work with! From the beginning when we reached out to him he was very responsive, and came prepared with everything we needed. He also took the time and care to focus on making our shoot the sharpest and high quality it could be.

From the get go, he was excited about the project and worked closely with me in pre production to develop storyboards and a plan for shooting. He is a talented cinematographer but perhaps more importantly, cares deeply about the projects in which he gets involved and his hard work and dedication to this particular one, has left this writer/director very pleased. Thanks so much Chris!"

"Working with Chris Kimling and his team was an absolute pleasure. They brought professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail to every step of the process. The three-camera shoot for our podcast was flawlessly executed, and the final edits were exceptional, crisp, engaging, and broadcast-quality.

I highly recommend Chris Kimling and his team to anyone seeking top-tier video production. They are true professionals who elevate the quality of any project they touch."
Matthew Perry
Founder & CEO, The Transportation Channel
"I recommend Chris Kimling without hesitation.
Chris worked as the gaffer on my first short film and brought a high level of creativity, efficiency, and professionalism to the set. He has a strong technical command of lighting and a clear understanding of how to support story, tone, and performance through his choices. He works quickly, stays organized, and makes smart decisions under pressure.
Chris communicates clearly with directors and DPs, anticipates needs, and adapts easily when plans shift. He approaches lighting with a DP’s eye, thinking in terms of contrast, composition, and mood rather than just execution. He is calm, dependable, and a steady presence on set, which makes a real difference on a fast-moving shoot.
He is well suited for gaffer roles and is also more than capable of stepping into a DP position. Any production looking for someone skilled, collaborative, and production-minded would be well served working with him."
Logan Serr
Director of "The Last Exit", Relentless Pursuit Productions
"Chris is a fantastic videographer! Easy to communicate with, professional, and consistently delivers high-quality work. He understands direction quickly and always ensures each project looks sharp and polished. Working with him has been a smooth and reliable experience every time."
