Behind the Scenes

Working with me

Ready to bring your ideas and stories to life? Let’s create something extraordinary together that everyone is talking about!

I'll give you a few options to choose from to match your budget and we can discuss in the first meeting
Turnaround time depends on the project scope. We’ll discuss this in our first meeting. Deadlines are always met.
I offer 2 revisions by default. However, feedback can be complex, especially with multiple parties involved, so we’ll discuss this in the first meeting.
You will be hiring only me but if the project needs more people involved such as talent and crew, I manage a large network of talented film professionals that can assist with anything.
Anything at all, I have over 20 years experience filming events, music videos, narrative films, documentaries, animation and visual effects projects.
For editing, sound, motion graphics and colour grading I use the latest Davinci Resolve Studio or Adobe Creative Cloud. For Virtual Production and Animation I use Unreal Engine. For VFX simulations and motion picture establishing shots I use Houdini. For compositing and video corrections I use Nuke.

Through the lens and with skillful use of lighting, I capture emotions, moments, and perspectives that connect with your audience, wow them and encourage them to share it among their friends. I film macro cinematography (capturing small details not seen with the eye); ultra slow motion (for moments missed with the blink of an eye), underwater cinematography and aerial cinematography. My Cinema Camera is capable of filming up to 8K resolution at Full Frame, in Prores or raw, up to 300 frames per second and in Rec 709 / Rec 2020 colour space for converting to Dolby Vision in Post Production.
