Wall of love for Lights & Years Media

I reached out to Drew in order to help setup a studio for my podcast, Dwarkesh podcast. I can't speak more highly about his speed, efficiency, taste, and hard work. I would (and constantly do) easily recommend Drew to my friends who need help setting up a studio. Focus on your own craft and just let Drew do what he does best! To give you a concrete example, Drew figured out a totally unique way to arrange the cameras and lighting in the studio using a pole system, which dramatically increased the usability and flexibility of the space. Something like that wouldn't have even occurred to me. Highly recommend!

I'm a content marketing and brand strategist for small businesses, and I recently launched my podcast, Your Brand Is Showing. Drew has been incredible when it comes to editing these episodes. I originally thought he’d just clean up the audio, cut out any clunky parts, and make my voice sound a bit more crisp, but he went way beyond that. He helped blend my intro and outro segments so seamlessly, it created an episode that would’ve taken me hours (and lots of frustration) to figure out on my own. He’s helped take this show to the next level and is always super fast when it comes to turning around the final files. If you’re like me—someone who loves the idea of podcasting but wants nothing to do with the editing after you hit record—Drew’s your guy. He’s great at what he does, and he helps you look (and sound) even better.

I'm a Director of Photography that has worked with Lights & Years over the years on various shoots but recently I had the opportunity to receive some of their consulting services regarding my website. Lights & Years website consulting completely changed my perspective on how I looked at my website. Before I had tried to include as many projects and frames as possible but Lights & Years taught me to scale back and make sure I'm not overwhelming the audience with examples of my work. Lights & Years feedback on my website has been truly some of the best I received and was the only company that was able to provide constructive suggestions on how to improve the interface.

I'm Ted Day and I'm an independent filmmaker. There have been a few times where I got stuck in the workflow weeds of an edit (synching and organizing with multiple cameras on a very experimental shoot), was ready to tear my hair out, then hit up L&Y. They did a great job at helping me articulate the problem I was trying to solve and then, yes, helping me solve it. It was a huge help. Drew is exceptionally knowledgeable and patient. It was a fantastic experience getting such a thorough consultation. I would highly recommend getting consultations from L&Y if you need it. 10/10.

I was able to connect with Drew for consulting services. It was extremely helpful to talk to him and navigate some strategies I could implement in business. He was able to offer some great ideas and think outside the box. I would definitely recommend him to potential clients who are looking for these services. Very personable with great resources and network.

My name is Drew King and I am a Broadway performer currently living in New York City. I am the founder and co-host of "Into the Mud Podcast", and I specifically came to Lights & Years for a consultation on audio engineering for my podcast, but walked away with so much more. Drew not only helped resolve the roadblocks I was facing with post-production audio concerns, but, he also gave me a thorough assessment of my podcasting progress to date. I am very new to podcasting, and Drew provided invaluable feedback and tips on how to move forward and grow my project. As we know, there is no "one-size fits all" solution to creative challenges, so I really appreciate that Drew took the time to research, listen, and compile a complete understanding of my project before providing a resolution. He has an immense wealth of experience in the filmmaking, audio and podcasting world, and all of his knowledge truly helped mitigate the "beginner's learning curve" frustrations I have been feeling. His advice and tools are worth every cent, and I will definitely continue consulting with him as my project continues to grow.
