about me
Hi :-)
I can be hired as a freelance cameraman / item director and video editor (Adobe Premiere). 8 years of experience, very all-round and flexible.

I work a lot for companies, communication agencies and production houses. But also for freelancers with a cool project.

WO educated (Film Studies at UVA). Started with various editorial internships (VPRO, KRO-NCRV) and employment in television (KRO-NCRV), founded my own video production company in 2011 and since then started shooting & editing a lot of videos.
In possession of a driver's license, own transport and extensive camera set:

Sony PXW-FS7 body, Canon 50mm 1.2 lens, 2 x Tamron 24-70mm 2.8, Canon 135mm 2.0, Samyang 24, 35 and 85mm 1.5 lenses, Atomos viewing monitor, Zacuto Viewfinder, 2 x Akurat S8 LED panels, Sachtler ACE tripod, Red NTG3 directional microphone, 2 x Sennheiser transmitter sets, Canon C100, DJI Mavic air drone, GoPros, Zacuto shoulder rig, baseplate & follow focus, Shootools slider.




Since 2011 I have filmed and edited more than 500 videos: online and TV promos, campaign videos, company videos, mini documentaries, product videos,
interviews, testimonials, afterfilms and event registrations.

Where I can often make a difference:
- All-in-1 video maker
- Specialist in 'last minutes' and rush jobs
- Fast delivery
- Competitive rates: more videos for less
- High quality video content, high end gear

You can hire me as a self-employed person. For large projects, I can also set up a larger team (cameramen, producers, designers, editors) through my video production company Pro Motion Film.

I set the bar high, always make sure you get a good deal and that your film and video content is exactly what you want, but just a little bit better!

remarks
My workflow is very all-round, fast, flexible and customer-friendly. Honest and pleasant communication during the entire process, with always free to the point advice.

This often allows me to add a lot of value within a project.
