Jeff is hands-down the best D.P. I have ever worked with. We have done many projects together, and he always adds something to the production to increase its value. He is able to work in the most difficult of circumstances, and multi-task. There is no one else I would hire onto my best jobs.
Joel Kitay - Kitay Productions
Jeff is one of those special DP’s who you really look forward to working with. He is a terrific collaborator. When Jeff comes to the set, you know you are going to get creative ideas, a great communicator & listener and most importantly, awesome shots. I have worked with Jeff many years in the D.C. area and he is truly one of the best in the business.

Jeff Atkinson is an exceptionally talented DP. His production knowledge and experience are only slightly eclipsed by his work ethic, and his ability to deliver superior video and film images time after time. I’ve worked with Jeff since 1988. When he is on my set or location, I know that I’ll get every shot I want, looking exactly the way I envisioned.
JHU Applied Physics Lab
Jeff is a highly talented DP who ‘always gets the shot’. He is an absolute pleasure to work with no matter the situation: be it an outside shoot with amateur talent, to hired actors on a set. Jeff’s flexibility and creativity have given me more than I asked for on shoots. Many times his quick thinking gave me a shot I’ve used over and over. That creativity and technical skill combined with a strong work ethic and personable demeanor make him stand out for any production.
Rebecca Holzman - Senior Advertising Producer, Erickson Retirement Communities
Jeff Atkinson? The DP of choice! For over 15 years, I have found that it is worth building my shoot schedule around Jeff’s availability. Whether it is two weeks on the road or a day in the studio, Jeff’s skill, talent, and integrity invariably raise the quality and efficiency of the overall production process. The final programs consistently win awards and build client loyalty. To put it in the simplest terms, Jeff is the best.
Carolyn Bain - President, Bain Pugh & Associates
I have been working with Jeff for over 10 years, and every time I have a large scale production, he is the first person I call. He is intuitive and always trying to give me that extra little something to edit with…often the best images are shots he created off-line, between the “cut and action.” I can always count on him to create action in a scene when no talent or extras have been provided. He is an extension of my creative process. Working with Jeff is always a great experience, and always look forward to the chance to collaborate with him.
Bill McDonald - FAA HQTV Media Productions, ASU-400
What can I say, Jeff and his team pulled off a small miracle. Joe was only available to us for a short time, and I was amazed how efficient and organized the production was. No panic, no screaming, no last minute compromises. The post went just as smoothly. In fact, I never left my desk; edits were reviewed, tweaked, and approved electronically. These guys get it. Oh, did I mention they’re really nice?
John Parlato - Creative Director, Havit Advert
It never ceases to amaze me just how much production value Jeff and his crew bring to each shot. They
always deliver beyond my wildest expectations
Claire Hartman - Exit 24 Creative Services
Working with Freedom was amazing. They took the seed of an idea and grew into something
extraordinary—handling everything from the logistics to the creative vision. Brainstorming, pre-production, the shoot, post-production. The whole damn thing. They made me look way better than I actually am. Of course, I’m still taking credit for everything
Matt McDermott - Creative Director, idfive
The Flock was a large orchestrated marketing campaign about fans belonging to something bigger. You only
get one chance to roll out a campaign like this; we wanted it to look as big time as possible, and FDM does big time. It’s by far the biggest shoot the Ravens have ever done. Whenever we do a big project, and especially one with Ray Lewis, we call FDM FDM because we know they bring the best crew, get the best out of the talent, and it will always look great.
Jay O’Brien - Director of Broadcasting, Baltimore Ravens
I really enjoyed working with Jeff and Nick from Freedom Digital. Their professional staff did a great job on campus for several days. They worked with our schedule and needs and put together an incredibly powerful
commercial for us. They took our original idea and ran with it! We are very proud and pleased with the final product.
Marc Parisi - Director of Communications & Marketing, Calvert Hall College High School
The team at Freedom Digital really listened to us with regard to what we wanted, and what our needs were, when we went to them for help developing a recruitment video. They excelled at making suggestions and creating a story that was consistent with who we are and the type of talent we want here at Videology,
Scott Ferber - CEO & Founder, Videology
I have confidence from the first time I get them on the phone that they understand our needs, are energized about the project, and will deliver on our goals.
Ed Landry - Vice President, Sales USCPD, McCormick & Company,Inc
In 25 years of network and professional sports production, I have never worked with anyone who combines a masterful creative eye with a complete awareness of the business goals of the project.
Larry Rosen - Senior Executive Producer, Jacksonville Jaguars
We have worked with Freedom Digital for over 10 years and they’ve consistently elevated our projects to another level. Jeff, Nick, and the rest of the team are professional, efficient, knowledgable, and dedicated to providing the best service possible. We always look forward to working with them as they bring an unparalleled creative energy and technical expertise to every project.
