Rising Tide Studios - Danville, California

Ty Clinkscales

Collaborating with Rising Tide Studios has been a transformative experience for both myself and my business. I initially ventured into content creation for Instagram in 2021, convinced that it was a simple task I could manage on my own.

For two years, I diligently produced content every day, contributing to a collection of over 400 reels. I prided myself on my skills, using the highest-quality cell phone camera and adhering strictly to the "algorithm" guidelines. I even orchestrated shoots at various exotic locations across the US.

I was introduced to Barrett from Rising Tide Studios and initially, I was skeptical about the value his services would provide as I was already consistent with my content creation.

However, Barrett's first video production for me completely surpassed expectations. The single video resulted in more followers, comments, shares, and responses than all my previous posts combined over two years. Even more important, these engagements directly translated into a significant increase in sales.

Barrett's understanding of the profound influence of storytelling, and his ability to employ it for emotional engagement is commendable. His approach erased the stress of content creation, as he meticulously handled everything from the video outline and script to the actual filming, all while maintaining the mindset and equipment of a professional film director.

Throughout the process, Barrett was patient and dedicated, ensuring every shot was executed as agreed upon. He remained committed to our original plan even in the face of filming difficulties, showcasing his ability to deliver our envisioned content.

Since that first impactful video, we have produced several more. One of them was posted on my YouTube channel and it garnered more views in just two hours than any of my previous videos did in months.

If you're a business owner deliberating on whether to leverage the expertise of a top-tier content creator to elevate your brand, I urge you to stop overthinking it. I can say, with the benefit of hindsight, that I would have utilized Barrett's services much earlier had I known the incredible difference it would make.

Working with Barrett of Risingtide Studios was amazing! Our gym has dedicated significant effort to generating content for social media over the years, but unfortunately, we struggled to achieve meaningful engagement from our members and potential clients.

However, this changed when we decided to use Risingtide Studios to produce an entertaining Halloween video for our social media platforms.

Throughout the entire process, Barrett demonstrated the utmost professionalism and showcased an exceptional artistic vision. It was clear he understood our goals and aspirations. Little did we know that the reaction we would receive from the video would surpass our expectations.

The video Barrett created generated an unprecedented amount of likes, shares, and comments—outperforming any of our previous self-produced content. It was truly astonishing to witness the level of engagement and excitement generated by his work.

Needless to say, we are thrilled with the outcome and wholeheartedly plan to continue our partnership with Barrett and Risingtide Studios in the future. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication have proven to be invaluable assets in our pursuit of effective and engaging social media content.

If you're seeking a professional and talented team to elevate your social media presence, look no further than Risingtide Studios. Barrett's exceptional skills will undoubtedly help your business thrive.

Barrett is able to capture and create something that otherwise can only be felt. Our non profit is here to empower young people on and off the stage. I could talk for hours trying to communicate how and why we do what we do. Barrett's videos, in less than 2 minutes, will bring people to tears and help them understand, and truly feel, the impact we want to make in our community. Thank you to Barrett and your team, we are so fortunate to be able to work with you!

Barrett has been an enormous help in producing my Retirement by Design e-course and my video series on retirement. He also did wonders with decades-old videos I needed to work with for a completely different kind of project I’m preparing for a high school presentation about my parents. His work has been outstanding and it’s not just because he’s a talented videographer. It’s because he listens deeply to learn exactly what I want and need; through our ongoing dialogue, he makes adjustments until we have a product we are both happy with. And he is patient with my many questions and explains technical and design points clearly enough for me to understand them. So the process and the products are first-rate - which is why I keep coming back to him.

Our Company hired Barrett to create marketing videos for our website. We’ve now worked with him multiple times and our expectations have been exceeded each time. Barrett makes the process easy and knows how to capture the footage he needs while being flexible with our work schedules. He is very thorough with the vision of the video at the start, and the time he puts into making sure we’re all on the same page is extremely appreciated and saves everyone time. Barrett was always receptive to any changes that we requested and worked with us when our schedules required a last-minute change. We will continue to work with Barrett on our future video projects and would highly recommend him for your next video.
