How and when do you move a camera to emphasize a story? Whether it’s a corporate video or a film, the way cinematography is made can influence the story and affect the viewer in a big way. The exploration of this is one of my greatest passions.
I am used to work on various sized projects, whether as a Director of Photography of a larger film crew or shooting as a self directing camera operator.
I am specialized in creating different camera emotions that fits the emotion of the scene. The equipment I use is often a gimbal, like a Ronin or a Movi with the Exoskeleton that also reduces the vertical axis.
Some examples with my use of a gimbal system are Dotan - Let The River In, Bata Industrials and Philips New perspective. Bigger Impact.
