Corduroy Media Client Testimonials

"Carl's work for the MTV Street Team was some of the most thoughtful, interesting, and well-produced journalism that came out of the project. From surfers fighting to save their break in San Diego to young people in Oakland organizing to elect Barack Obama, Carl found great stories that weren't behing told any place else."

Ocean MacAdams, VP of News and Docs, MTV

"Corduroy Media's responsiveness, quality of work, and professionalism has been outstanding. Their videos of our solar panel factory and system installation have been a great help in our promotional activities."

Ben Bierman, VP of Global Operations, Solyndra

"Carl Brown has the whole package. He is an extremely talented shooter, a thoughtful and creative storyteller, and a pleasure to work with. I have hired him repeatedly, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any project."

Liz Nord, Supervising Producer, MTV

"I first starting working with Carl and Corduroy Media five years ago, and I've continued to hire them because I know that the final piece will be extremely professional and effective. But more than that, I know that the process will be creative, collaborative, and fun - qualities that are often hard to find in one place."

Dave Yanofsky, Director of Media and Youth Development, Connect Ed

“Carl Brown offers a no-nonsense approach to his work. Whether for production or education, Carl plans effectively, works diligently and has a dynamic sense of knowing what to do next when changes happen in the field.”

“Corduroy Media was a joy to work with. They're professional, timely, creative and intuitive. They produce high quality video products and I look forward to working with them in the near future. ”

Sally Trautwein, Board Member, Wardrobe for Opportunity

"I have been working with Carl Brown of Corduroy Media on a series of video shoots for my small business. Carl is someone you can count on to take ownership of a project and see it through to completion. When I asked Carl to set up a new facility, he hired a crew and built me a stage. When I asked Carl to ensure that his busy schedule did not delay my project, he created and trained a pool of videographers ready to shoot at my facility on my schedule. I very much enjoy working with Carl and his staff. They have my highest recommendation."

Jon Broderick, Founder & CEO, Guitar Tricks

“We are pleased we chose this crew for our work in the Oakland area. They were prepared to go the extra mile, took the time to understand the brief, and were pleasant to deal with. We look forward to working with them again.”

Kelly Davis, Head of Production | WebsEdge | London

“Corduroy Media did a fantastic job filming two workshops for us! They showed up early both times, set up their equipment within tight space constraints, maintained sharp focus all day (even when the workshops got pretty tedious & boring), and were the last to leave. They worked patiently and professionally with everyone involved and their final, edited videos are of the highest quality. They're not cheap, but they are worth every penny!"

Sam Doying, Senior Vice President | M. Squared Consulting

“Thank you so much for producing such moving videos this year. I am very happy with them! I also appreciate your creative guidance/direction once we had filmed all of the footage. It is easy to get "stuck" in the original concept and it's nice to have an experienced video producer walk us through the process of what makes the most sense for our needs with what we have available. The end result is perfect for our needs!"
