My Erasmus exchange in Iceland during 2010-2011 changed my life in the most fundamental way, igniting my passion for videomaking by capturing the special moments around us when a simple group from across Europe came together. This experience motivated me to try to inspire people with my videos to go abroad and experience the world, appreciating the unity and diversity of Europe. Starting as a volunteer, I now have over 10 years of experience dedicated to supporting and promoting the European Project.

FAQ:

How much does a video cost?
As every lawyer will tell you: "It depends..."

On the one hand I offer Instant-Video Production for a fixed amount when I'm covering events with multiple short videos for social media throughout the day and create the final video directly afterwards. At the same time I'm taking pictures which will be delivered on the same day.

Every regular video production has it's own needs and the cost depends on various factors such as the scope, complexity, and specific requirements of the project as well as how many videos shall be produced. The more budget we have available for our production the higher the production value will also be when it comes to planning time, equipment, crew size, location etc. But check below some of the main points to consider:
​
  1. Pre-production: Scriptwriting, storyboarding, location scouting, and planning.
  2. Production: Camera equipment, lighting, audio equipment, crew salaries, and travel expenses.
  3. Post-production: Editing, color correction, sound design, special effects, and graphics.
  4. Licensing and Royalties: Costs associated with music licensing, stock footage, or other intellectual property.
  5. Project Management: Coordination, communication, and project management efforts throughout the production.
  6. Miscellaneous Expenses: Any additional expenses unique to the project, such as permits, props, or specific gear requirements.
What services do you offer?
Video Production is my core business with all its aspects from script to screen and I can take photos at your event at the same time while filming or as a standalone service. With all aspects during our production I have the approach for active communication consulting to let my clients know if I see a better way to reach the production objective beyond the current production idea.
I have a last minute request is it possible?
Yes, last minute requests are possible.

Please keep in mind that I'm usually fully booked at least 2-3 months in advance with multiple projects running simultaneously and I'm planning my production schedules accordingly.

A last minute request within the next 14 days I offer Instant-Coverage Rapid Response.
Do you work alone or in a team?
Most projects I do are usually planned as a one-person production and most of my projects you see here on my website I have executed as a one-person production but always in close collaboration with my clients who organised the events, took care of locations or interview partners. 

Some productions require multiple people on set and in this case I can reach out to my vast network of professionals and fill the needs.
Do you handle all aspects of production, including scripting and editing?
Yes. Since I'm working as a video producer for over 10 years I will also handle all aspects of the production in close collaboration with my clients. This way you only have one contact point throughout the entire project.
How long does it take to receive the final product?
Instant Event Videos will be done on the spot almost instantaneously and everything will be delivered before the end of the day. 

Regular productions on the other hand can take a few weeks to months including the pre-production to develop the narrative, find interview partners and locations all the way through the production days and post-production. While filming and editing can be quite fast it usually takes the most time to receive feedback from high stakes projects until everyone had time to provide feedback. 

Slate productions where we produce a whole series of videos can take several months up to years as well depending on the project scope and framework contract. 
Can I get a discount by providing exposure?
