Trusted with Real Stories

  • “We hired Rooster Rooster on behalf of our client, the Dairy Grazing Alliance (DGA). Rooster Rooster took a technical subject and turned it into two beautiful, moving short films that really helped our campaign connect with viewers. They took the lead on all aspects of production and were awesome all the way from our first phone call to final delivery. Great communication and a beautiful result. Highly recommend.”

    Zoe Richardson — Creative Director, Good Roots

  • "Incredible cinematography and compelling storytelling, Rooster Rooster excels at both. When on site, Austin is very good at thinking on his feet and always rises to the occasion. His professionalism and warm personality puts the talent at ease and makes them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I look forward to working with Rooster Rooster again in the future.”

    Mai Yingneuk — Creative Director, Interact Communications

  • “I found the Rooster Rooster team to be very thorough in their preparation ahead of the visit in order to make sure they captured the talking points and video elements that we were looking for. They used their time and my time very effectively. The team was very thoughtful, courteous and professional …We received a great final end product that told the story we were looking for and met our marketing needs. I would definitely recommend Rooster Rooster for video marketing material.”

    Joe Tomandl — Executive Director, Dairy Grazing Alliance

  • “Working with Rooster Rooster was really easy and straight forward. The crew was professional, helpful, and they produced an excellent product for our group. We plan to rehire them whenever we have video needs going forward.”

    Kenneth Olivier, M.D. — Mayo Clinic

  • "We wanted a video to announce our re-brand, which was still in development when we reached out to Rooster Rooster. We knew what we wanted to communicate to the public, but really didn’t know how we wanted to say it, especially in a medium we don’t do a lot of marketing with. Austin and his team’s process methodically revealed the story and messaging we wanted to communicate, and their translation of our static imagery to video was spot on. They were accommodating to our needs and schedules along the way and were just plain fun to work with. Needless to say, we loved the finished products."

    Will Adamany — Creative Director, 608 Brewing Company

  • "I knew I really wanted a sharp video to introduce our new direction, but didn’t know how the vision in my head would translate monetarily—I’d never commissioned a video before. Instead of just giving me a number, Austin built a strategy around my budget. It gave me piece of mind knowing the project was being tailored to fit our needs, and wasn’t a cookie cutter process. I thought being featured in the video would be daunting, but it was painless and cool to be apart of it, seeing how it all came together—turned out great."

    Phil Humphrey — Owner, 608 Brewing Company

  • “I could not recommend Rooster Rooster Creative Company highly enough. Austin and his team were fantastic to work with... ...The finished video wonderfully captures our program and is already attracting national attention and positive feedback on social media."

    Allison Garda, M.D. — Mayo Clinic

  • "The videos exceeded my expectations. I'm excited to share my content that they created with my present and future guests. Now that I see how easily content of this caliber can be created, I'm excited to launch into future projects."

    Jared Dennison — Owner, Root Note

  • Great cinematographery and a true pros on set. They bring a strong work ethic, creative eye, and real intention to every shoot. Their visuals are consistently high quality, and they contribute ideas that help strengthen the overall story. Whether it’s a last minute run-and-gun interview or a well lit, thoughtfully composed setup, they excel at both. Their positive attitude and collaborative mindset make them a great asset in fast-paced production environments. Highly recommend!

    Lindsey Hayes — Media Producer, Factory Motorparts

  • I've known Austin for several years now and as a Creative Director for a marketing agency I know how hard it is to find good talent. Austin isn't just good, he's excellent. His shot choices are awesome and his visual storytelling chops are great. And as a bonus, his motion graphics work is top notch. In my experience, you often get either a great cinematographer OR a great editor OR a great motion graphics designer. And that's a huge PIA when you're trying to move fast and on budget. Rest assured, Austin excels in everything from capturing the footage, to tell the story, to designing it with style and flash. Best of all, he's a cool dude and a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

    Michael Mahin — Creative Director, Grad Comm

  • Austin is truly one of the best! We regularly hire him as a freelance videographer for Discover Wisconsin, Uniquely Wisconsin, and our other brands because he consistently delivers standout video and is an absolute joy to work with. He’s incredibly knowledgeable with cameras and gear, and brings a strong artistic eye to every shoot. His creative framing and use of motion elevate each project in a meaningful way. Beyond his technical talent, Austin is calm, professional, and genuinely fun on set. He takes direction well, while also offering thoughtful creative input that always makes the final product stronger.

    Jessica VoKoun — Lead Producer, Discover Mediaworks

  • "We’ve worked with Austin and Rooster Rooster Creative Co. on quite a few projects over the years. Austin has been a consistent creative partner for us. He's been someone we can bring into a project with full confidence. Clear communication, shows up prepared, and always delivers work that elevates the final products."

    Dakota Nyberg — Owner, DMM Productions

  • "We partnered with Rooster Rooster to develop video modules for our Business Finance courses. The final product was clear, well-paced, and aligned with how technical college students actually learn. Faculty reported stronger preparation and more productive class time, which is exactly what we were hoping to achieve."

    Zakee Pearson — Dean - Business Division, Western Technical College

  • "Working with Austin at Rooster Rooster has been an absolute pleasure. He brings a fun, creative energy to every set while maintaining a high level of professionalism from start to finish... highly collaborative, always open to ideas and thoughtful in his approach to storytelling. His ability to translate a creative vision into strong, compelling visuals consistently elevates the entire project. Beyond Austin's technical skill and artistic eye, he creates a positive and easygoing atmosphere on set. He communicates clearly, works seamlessly with the team, and makes the entire production process both smooth and enjoyable. Any team would be lucky to collaborate with Rooster Rooster Creative Company."
