Brandon Blue
I had the pleasure of working with Lauren shooting and editing video for several of her projects At Hubbard Radio Chicago. In my experience, establishing a good rapport is the first step if you want to develop a good partnership while taking on a project. Lauren’s easy going, unruffled, yet confident attitude did just, always helping to set a good tone and pace with not only myself but other clients involved in the project at hand. Video shoots many times require long hours and sometimes can weigh on a person’s patience. This was never an issue for Lauren, allowing plenty of time to capture what was needed for a good product. I often looked forward to our shoots because I knew that although it was work, it would also be an enjoyable shoot to be on. Productivity with a pleasant atmosphere, a win-win in my book.
