“I have had the pleasure of working with John Campbell on dozens of projects and find him to be a superb and responsive editor with a tremendous talent for visual storytelling. His work on our projects has alway been imaginative and in tune with the clients’ needs and delivered on time and on budget.” -Bob Krist (Bob Krist Photography)

“He is a brilliant editor, with great skill for finding and selecting visual imagery, pays great attention to detail, and is able to handle large projects. In addition, he is able to shoot additional footage as needed.” -Penny Price (Penny Price Media)

“Working with John was a pleasure.  He was very professional as he developed the story line and, later, as he shot the interviews to be contained in the video.  He accommodated my schedule and was always very courteous and appreciative. Upon completion, the video was aired on cable television with outstanding results.” -Jake Lea, Montgomery County Lands Trust

“John created an amazingly beautiful and comprehensive documentary about our historic Japanese house and garden. He visited our site innumerable times to capture seasonal changes in the garden, and coordinated many participants, including site experts, Japanese tea ceremony practitioners, and musical performers, who were interviewed or filmed on-site. Our structure is very delicate and John made it a point to learn how to gently use the site within our preservation guidelines. Shofuso has a long history, and John was tireless in his research to ensure accurate information and a lyrical soundtrack. It was a pleasure to work with him in every capacity. I highly recommend him as a director, producer, and editor.” -Kim Andrews, Executive Director, Shofuso
