What Clients Are Saying
“We used Ironwood Visuals to create member testimonials and other videos. Shane is an ideal partner. He's fast, responsive, creative and personable. He's easy to work with. I look forward to doing other projects with him in the future.”
— CEO, Health Net
“Shane was a pleasure to work with and made our projects much easier than they would have been without him. He was instrumental in the planning and pre-production of a long 4+ hour training course. He then shot the video we needed with very little direction, and delivered all the content on time and in the formats we were looking for. Would work with him again any chance we get!”
— William Drumm, Underwater Photographer
“Shane did such an amazing job on my brand film. He was intentional, clear and created a great product. I am so thankful!”
