Stephen is everything you could ask for in a videographer. Not only is he extremely talented with the creative and technical aspects, he is very thoughtful in taking the time to tell your story in a clear and compelling way. It was a pleasure to work with Stephen from the moment we got connected, to the time we spent planning the project over the phone, to filming together, to finalizing the end product. Do yourself a favor and go with the best. Here's a link to the video he created for my business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57H_idgZkeA read more

We started working with Stephen earlier this year so that we could get new headshots and some videos made for the new website we are working on. To see an example of one video that Stephen created for us, click on this link: https://vimeo.com/253850425 There are three things that have made our work with Stephen a great success: 1) Stephen is very competent at video production and photography and has all the necessary equipment to make high quality videos and photos. 2) Stephen is a good coach. What we have found is that video production in particular involves so much more than just the right equipment. It is about coaching us so that we are comfortable talking on camera and interacting in a way that will give our clients a sense of what it will be to work with us. 3) Stephen delivers ahead of schedule every time. So far we have had two photo sessions and two video shoots. Each time he has delivered our rough drafts as soon as possible so that we have time to give feedback and get the final products by our deadlines. We hope to continue to work with Stephen Porter Productions in the future and encourage anyone looking for high quality photo or video production to give Stephen an opportunity to work with you. We have been very happy and think you will be too. read more

For some time, I have been trying to figure out how to let people know who I am and what it is like to work with me. Before finding Stephen Porter Productions, I relied upon recommendations and testimonials in writing from my clients. I saw Stephen present some of his work at a networking event and knew that his video production was what I was looking for to highlight my business and myself. Stephen was great to work with and the edits that he did with the video really brought about the message that I was looking to present. Feel free to look at my video, as it says it all, http://youtu.be/6sqY0Yvwpqg . If you are looking to represent yourself on the internet, you need to meet Stephen Porter and hire him to create your video presence! read more

We hired Stephen to do a video for our company. It involved shooting some new footage and using footage we already had from previous shoots. Stephen did a great job blending the two and helping us tell our story. You can see the final product here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KARtQa0ULI Beyond his excellent videography skills, Stephen is great to work with. I'd work with him again for sure! read more

Working with Stephen was an absolute breeze. He came highly recommended to me, and I had seen the quality of his work, but I had no idea that the video creation process would be as easy and enjoyable as it was. Stephen had an upbeat positive, "can do" attitude and he was very confident right from the start. I sent him some general information about my business and the messages I wanted to convey and he took care of the rest! We met to go over his thoughts for the video and he presented me with a script of what to say. So easy! Then, I set up meetings with various clients and he accompanied me to each one. It was like he wasn't even there, I just did my thing and he captured it. He also brought his own lighting and microphones so that the scene would be perfect. He gave me a few suggestions on what kind of imagery we should capture and I mentioned a few I wanted included, but it was mostly all natural. When I received the first draft of the video from him, I was expecting that we'd need to have multiple rounds of changes. In fact, the video looked AMAZING from the start. Only a few minor tweaks and it was done. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPVR5S5Sz8Y&feature=youtu.be I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STEPHEN PORTER PRODUCTIONS. Absolutely work with him if you'd like a high quality finished product with not a crazy amount of effort needed from your side. Leave the video work to the professional, which Stephen Porter is! read more

Stephen is the whole package... talented, easy to work with, listens to your goals and approaches each project as if it were his own business being filmed. Stephen is a driven man with the need for perfection. He was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am an abstract painter, living and working in San Francisco. I wanted to give my collectors, Gallerist and potential clients a behind the scenes look into my process. Additionally, I wanted to give the viewer more than a beautiful painting on the wall, but also the story behind the colors in my work. Stephen Porter made this possible for me. check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viWxhon9oqc I'm looking forward to having Stephen work on my next project and a new series of works.

Having a background in high end video production, I am really critical of the care placed in the content and frame of any given story told by a producer. Stephen Porter Productions is the real deal. I really appreciate the care Stephen places in his clients personal/corporate story to assure it is compelling and has high production values. I am most familiar with his business and corporate productions, since I have been a subject in one of his videos and have screened many more of his finished works, which are impressive. IF you are in the market to help tell your story for a trade-show, online social media, for an important conference, and/or even for re-broadcast, I highly recommend speaking with and looking closely at Stephen Porter's portfolio. Since once you do, you won't have to look further for a producer for your next video production. read more

Stephen filmed and produced a series of videos for my life coaching business. He was a joy to work with and the videos turned out great thanks to his keen creative talents, audio mastering and production expertise. I was especially impressed with the audio due to the fact that all of my videos were filmed in pubic and had lots of distracting noises in the background that he minimized. I also appreciated his enthusiastic energy, humor and vision for the projects as we filmed in various locations. If you're looking for great videos for your online presence, Stephen is your guy. You can check out the videos he produced for me here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAW3CMUKBqA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8_65jCDhvk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf4LSwMrOos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ6J2Haktdc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1srttqJbyI read more

I highly recommend Stephen for both video AND photos! read more

I met Stephen happenstance at the Vault our co-working space. He was casually chatting with one of the co-working members (he was holding his camera) while I was walking past thinking of photographers and videographers I should contact for an early stage fashion tech startup that I work with. Upon seeing Stephen I smiled and said "hey are you a photographer?" From that moment on Stephen has worked on our profile and team photos, website photos and video footage that will be used in our apps and website. He has also covered a social event for a friend and is now working with me on a second video project. Stephen's attention to detail, his innate ability to tell a compelling visual story and his Google algorithm centric knowledge on how to write scripts with the most powerful keywords is invaluable to startup builders like me. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. With Stephen on your team that statement is true 10x over. read more

Awesome! read more

"When it came to creating a video, selecting the right person and needing the best product, a personal statement about me and my occupation, to say I was WORRIED, would have been an understatement. Stephen Porter was personal, calm and made me comfortable while exuding creativity, confidence and expertise during his single-handed production of my artistic video in a timely manner for a reasonable price. More important than my own subjective opinion, was that everyone raves about the video Stephen made for me. It makes me proud to have his video on my website, and it allows me to enjoy referring friends and colleagues to him. Check out the video for yourself on the front page of my website, http://mccullaghlaw.com." read more
