Darrell Boeck
TV & Film have always been a part of Darrell Boeck’s life. As a child, Darrell loved special effects and would often explain to his grade school friends how the effects were accomplished.

Darrell’s career in videography began in 1988 when he purchased his first video camera. While Creative Images was growing as a part-time business, he found himself working for a dealer of professional video equipment. This meant working for someone else during the day, and long nights editing for his clients. Finally in the mid-1990’s, Creative Images became his full-time passion.

Always looking for ways to advance in the videography field, Darrell has designed equipment specifically to aid Creative Images during on-location shoots, from remote controlled cameras to wireless lighting systems. As a national seminar speaker, he enjoys teaching other professionals at video conventions. He also markets and sells his own training DVD.

At Creative Images, Darrell is usually the one answering the phone. He enjoys meeting with potential clients and discussing their video-production needs. He also enjoys creating internet-related content and marketing, and he is our expert in operating the Steadicam system, a device that stabilizes and creates a smooth camera image when the videographer is on the move.

When he is not hard at work, Darrell enjoys photography, tinkering with broken machines, and camping. (Well, if you consider a weekend in a 30’ RV "camping"). He lives with his wife and children in Greenfield.

Mark Lamkin
For Mark Lamkin, a career in videography started as a mere hobby. In the late 1980’s, Mark enjoyed filming animals and nature and blending the images with music.

After he and Darrell reviewed each other’s work, the two felt they should combine their efforts, and Creative Images was born.

With a keen eye and an editor’s mind for how the finished product should look, Mark is able to capture the unplanned shots, the unexpected moments and the overlooked details in beautifully composed, smoothly executed shots. He enjoys the new challenges the digital format presents in capturing the perfect moment.

At Creative Images, Mark is the DVD expert. He is fascinated by the creation and authoring processes the format allows, including the design of DVD menus and packaging.

When not mastering the digital medium, Mark enjoys hiking, camping, and recreational photography. He lives with his wife and family in Menomonee Falls.

Toni Wiening
To Toni Wiening, an interest in the visual arts was almost inevitable. Her father, a professional photographer, gave her a much-desired video camera when she was 15. Video editing computer software followed a few Christmas’ later.

By video-recording high school functions, Toni established a name for herself as the go-to girl among her classmates for information on the developing technology. A graduation gift of a new video camera followed her on a trip to Germany, where she found countless opportunities to experiment and hone her skills.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts, Toni fulfilled three internships in the visual arts field. Her previous experience includes stints as a camera operator for local television news, a creator and editor for a public access show, and a production assistant for many local commercials and music videos.

At Creative Images, Toni is quickly becoming the resource for video editing platforms such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. She enjoys sitting down with the clients to determine just what they are looking for in a finished product. Her editing and videography skills are a valuable asset to the company’s future.

When she is not working, Toni enjoys painting, drawing, photography, quilting, and travel. She recently became a new homeowner and resides in West Bend.
