What I Can Do For You

I offer professional filmmaking services tailored to your needs. From captivating documentaries to compelling brand films, I specialize in filming, video editing, and color grading. Let’s bring your vision to life with visually stunning and engaging content.

Filming

I specialize in capturing stunning visuals using a range of cameras, including DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and cinema cameras (Blackmagic, Panasonic, Canon). This allows me to select the ideal tool for each project’s unique requirements.

I’m also open to renting camera models such as Sony, Arri, and Z Cam to achieve my desired creative vision. Additionally, I appreciate vintage lenses and skillfully modify them into high-quality cine lenses, enhancing the distinctiveness of my work. My collection includes meticulously maintained Contax Zeiss lenses.

I prioritize flexibility and am open to renting different lens options tailored to specific project needs.

Video Editing

As an experienced video editor, my primary Non-Linear Editing (NLE) software of choice is Final Cut Pro. Since 2012, I have been using Final Cut Pro, and it remains my preferred software due to its exceptional performance.

However, I am also proficient in Adobe Premiere and actively expanding my skills to encompass the complete post-production workflow in DaVinci Resolve, which serves as my go-to color grading software.

While I have expertise in Final Cut Pro, I do not have a ‘fanboy’ attitude and remain open to working with other editing software.

color grading

When it comes to bringing out the best in my videos, color grading is an aspect I truly enjoy. I strive to give each project a distinct film look, tailoring it to the project’s nature and my creative inspiration. My go-to software for color grading is DaVinci Resolve, which allows me to achieve the desired visual aesthetic and enhance the overall cinematic experience.

Additionally, I am passionate about creating grainy looks and achieving the authenticity of film stock through the use of plug-ins like Filmconvert.

story search

As a filmmaker specializing in documentaries and brand films, I consider story search an integral part of my work. I have curated a comprehensive ‘storytelling database’ that I consistently update with a wide range of captivating narratives. These stories encompass various themes, including illustration, music, vinyl stores, photography, food, painting, and more, as I firmly believe that compelling stories can be found everywhere.

If you are in need of a subject for your project, I can assist you in finding the perfect one. Alternatively, if you already have a subject in mind, I can craft a captivating story that aligns seamlessly with your specific needs.
