"Nickolas provides excellent, detail-oriented service from concept through final implementation. I am absolutely thrilled to work with such a highly creative and energetic crew at Crown Chimp Productions. Their ability to look at the core of a sport and inspire others is profoundly honest and authentic. Extremely easy to work with and great with every budget."

"Nick is talented, diligent, thorough and professional in his approach. As executive producer, I couldn't be more satisfied with the two film projects he completed for us last year; we anticipate with pleasure more work with Nick and his crew."

"Nick took our loosely-organized ideas, asked all the right questions during our pre-production meetings, and delivered a polished, first-class video. His vision created a visual representation of our program that had clarity and flare, and far exceeded our expectations. Nick is a talented filmmaker that knows how to communicate with his audience. Hire Crown Chimp and you will not go wrong!"

"Nick Duarte is a consumate professional and has worked with me on multiple music videos as well as a few short films. He's always prompt and prepared as well as puts out the best quality product for a price that won't break the bank. He's so talented that there isn't anyone else we would hire for audio/visual production. We currently are in pre-production of a sketch comedy show and I feel very lucky to have found him. If not the best he's at least one of the rising stars in this industry."

"Incredible! The first work I saw from Crown Chimp was the Henry Cejudo/Adidas commercial and I was hooked. To say that Duarte and his team get "it" is an understatement. I immediately called Nickolas and hired him to produce the open and close for our TV show. Another great surprise. Again, he hit it right in the middle of the mat. Thanks Nick! Thanks Crown Chimp, I am a Fan for life,"

"Nick is creative, detail-oriented and very easy to work with. He brought great ideas and energy to each project, and delivered just the right solutions on time and within budget."

"When I auditioned to provide voiceover services for Nick at Crown Chimp Productions, he sent along a link to a video whereby those auditioning could get an understanding of the project. I was immediately struck by the visuals he created in the video. I've worked for some of the very best and well respected production companies in the world and the choice of camera shots/angles as well as the editing sequences just floored me. Once I was awarded the voiceover, Nick was very quick to respond to my questions and offered clear guidance as to what he needed for the final cut of the project. When he sent over a copy of the finished spot, I was humbled...what a fantastic piece to be a part of. With no embellishments whatsoever, Nickolas Duarte & Crown Chimp Productions is stellar in every way...communication, professionally and their final productions tell the story in a quite compelling fashion. Having been in this business for over 20 years, I find it thrilling to partner with such top draw talent and production company...I didn't even mention they are Addy Award Winners!

"On short notice, Nickolas was able to be present on two different days to capture hour long professional presentations. Not only did he do an excellent job of being both 'invisible' and highly effective, he also was charged with going up to audience attendees after each and getting interviews. He asked great questions and was able to solicit the kind of feedback that not only can we use as testimonials but also created a personal touch so that they felt engaged and offered valuable feedback. GREAT JOB! Hope we meet again! "

"We contracted with Crown Chimp Productions to do a DVD for “Be Me Inside Out," a Character Education program, built upon an academic foundation. We were novices and with the expertise of Nick and the direction of Crown chimp, the filming and the end results were outstanding and will serve us well in the academic arena. Thank you much!"

"Nick is a "Go Getter" with a strong sense of personal integrity. The results of his final product are undeniably exceptional due to his tremendous creative mind and tenacious work ethic. Nick is a highly motivated and timely professional that serves his clientele with the utmost attention to detail and respect. I would recommend Nick to any business looking for an edge in marketing production. Thanks goes out to Nick and his team!"

"As a former creative director, I can be a demanding client, to say the least. That said, Nick and Matt produced a body of work that exceeded my expectations creatively and delivered our message to the public in a very memorable way. I look forward to working with them again."

"Nickolas is a diamond in the rough. Finding a good video content manager/producer in the AZ market that is within budget is a difficult task. Finding one that gives you a "Hollywood feel" product is even more difficult. Nickolas and Crown Chimp Productions fit both criteria. He and his crew were able to take my simple thoughts and transform them to a visible reality that depicted more than my expectations. I highly recommend Nickolas and his crew for any business video production needs. Feel free to contact me for further comment."

"Nick is an incredibly talented videographer who brought his warmth, creativity, and expert skills to our design competition and produced three video pieces that were beyond anything we could have asked for. He carefully thought through every aspect of the production, was able to direct the designers easily and comfortably, and met all the timelines without a problem. Nick stayed in touch throughout the project and kept everyone involved and informed. I would highly recommend Nick for any video or photography project."
