Work Process

Film Shoots

  • Each project begins with a strong visual concept, which we discuss together using mood boards and sample material. Based on this, we tailor the camera work, from well-lit interviews to atmospheric shots that can be seamlessly integrated with the interview material during editing. We use various techniques, such as tripods, handheld, shoulder-mounted cameras, gimbals, and sliders, depending on the project's requirements.

    If needed, I can independently handle specific aspects of the process, such as camerawork, drone footage (A1/A3 flying licence) or editing.

  • For a successful corporate or organisational video, a well-crafted script is essential. What do you want to convey, who will be speaking, and how will we structure the interviews? What film style will we use? For example, a documentary style where only the interviewee appears on-screen, and the gaze is directed towards the interviewer. In this approach, the question is incorporated into the answer, and we will take charge of directing it accordingly.

    We carefully consider the location for the interviews. It should not only be relevant to the project but also visually appealing and suitable for audio recording. Optionally, we can work with a director to guide the interviews.

    For audio, we use both transmitters and directional microphones to ensure extra safety and flexibility during editing.

Editing & Colour Grading

  • After the film shoots, we begin with the editing process. We first determine the desired duration and format of the video and work with the film script in mind to build the structure. We usually start by editing the interviews, focusing on the core message of the film and presenting it clearly within the agreed timeframe.

    Once the audio and interview sections are complete, we proceed with adding atmospheric shots, graphic elements, and logos. Finally, we finish the film with colour grading.

    If desired, we can also provide short versions or teasers of the video in various formats, suitable for use on social media channels and other platforms.

    Additionally, the videos can be provided with subtitles in the spoken language or, if preferred, in another chosen language with the help of a translator.

    For editing, we use DaVinci Resolve Studio 19, a program renowned for its excellent colour correction capabilities. If required, we can also edit using Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
