Testimonial Thursday Spotlight: Daren & Deanna Baker

March 2, 2024 by Katie Curtis

Hey, everyone! It’s time to shine a spotlight on some incredible people in our Thursday Testimonial series. Today, I want to express my gratitude to the dynamic duo, Daren and Deanna Baker from DBaker Designs. It’s always heartwarming to receive kind words and recognition from such awesome people!

Bakers, I am surprised every time I realize you both live in Michigan and not some hoity-toity artist city like New York or somewhere in California.

[Daren]:
Hey, everybody, it’s Daren Baker of DBaker Designs, coming to you with 60 seconds of gratefulness! The one person, awesome person, kind, amazingly talented, Katie Curtis, who is owner operator of Inspired Video Marketing. She has done an amazing job for Deanne and I. You recently saw some of her work with the Macfiche, the giant troll that we did. Or giant, giant.

[Video Excerpt]:
[Daren]: “We are DBaker designs, and we make giants.
[Deanna]: I’m Deanna Baker.
[Daren]: Baker. The Pretty one.
[Deanna]: So pretty.
[Daren]: And I’m Darren, the ugly one.

[Daren continues speaking]:
That we recently did, she shot an amazing video. She edited it. She did all this really cool stuff. And, man, she made us look so much better than what we actually are. And I can’t express my appreciation enough for her or for you, Katie, if you’re watching. Thank you so much.

It’s an amazing work, and we recognize that sick talent that you got and the great work and the hard work ethic and all the other stuff that we’ve seen. You’ve done absolutely amazing stuff. The fact that you did ours and we’ve been honored to have you do that work for us, makes it all the better. So, thank you. Gratitude, out to Katie Curtis of Inspired Video Marketing.

[Video Excerpt]:
[Deanna]: Why the giant and what we’d say to them?
[Daren]: That’s the number one question.
[Both Deanna & Daren]: Why not?
[People speaking]: Absolutely incredible. Very nice. We got it.

Here’s what most people don’t see (but probabl Here’s what most people don’t see (but probably should):
 
👉 A 15-second video can take 3 hours (or more) to shoot. It’s not just point-and-shoot - it’s lighting, sound, angles, direction, intention, and getting it to feel right.

👉 Sometimes, I’ll choose message over perfection. A perfect video that says nothing won’t move people.

👉 Long-form isn’t killing attention spans. Bad storytelling is. If the story is strong, people will watch the whole thing. (K-pop Demon Hunters anyone???)

👉 I spend more time editing videos than marketing myself (thank Hanna for that 😉).

👉 I charge for value, not just my time. Because you're not just paying for a camera, you’re investing in expertise, strategy, direction, and results.

👉 And yes, I still get nervous before big shoots. Every. Single. Time. But I always show up and deliver what your story deserves.
 
This work isn’t just about creating “cool videos.” It’s about telling stories that move people, connect with your audience, and support your business with purpose.
 
If you’re ready to stop winging your content and start showing up with clarity, confidence, and scroll-stopping visuals, shoot us a DM.
 
We’ll make something that actually works for you.

We're just not buying it anymore. As a videograp We're just not buying it anymore. 

As a videographer who works with different kinds of businesses, I’ve seen the impact of intentional content, and I’ve also heard all the myths 🙄

Here’s what we’re clearing up today:

🎀 Video marketing isn't complicated, but it can be, if you go solo.
🎀 If you want a "five-minute edit", you’ll get "five-minute" results. Craft takes time.
🎀 Engagement builds community, trust, and future revenue. It’s part of the long game.
🎀 Authenticity + strategy + consistency = results for any business.
🎀 You are the algorithm. Engagement starts with you.

Ready to ditch the fluff and create videos that actually work for your business?
