In deze les leer ik je alle handige tips & tricks om je portrettekening tot je recht te laten komen! We gaan kijken naar verhoudingen, detail, lichtinval en materiaalgebruik. Eventueel is les aan huis ook mogelijk als je alles gelijk in praktijk wil brengen! (omgeving Dokkum, binnen een straal van 15 km, benzinekosten worden wel gerekend)

Anyone can make a movie, but where do you start?
In these lessons I guide you in how you can translate the story you want to tell into images and sound. Depending on your needs, I can guide you in the development of a film plan, setting up your own shooting days, interviews and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. You learn filmmaking mainly by doing, so experimenting is very important. It is up to you what kind of film you want to make, I guide you in your needs and capabilities. Whether you want to make an observational film, a film in which you are also present, with or without an interview. I am curious about your story!

FIND YOUR FASCINATION
You love writing and are full of ideas. You are curious about telling stories with images, words and music or making films. But how do you start? What themes would you like to make a film about? In this workshop you will get to know yourself and your fascination: the basis of the journey of discovery into who you are as a filmmaker.

FIND YOUR STORY
The first steps in getting to know yourself as a storyteller have been taken. Maybe you would like to interview others or make a film about animals. Yet you have to delve a layer deeper into the world of your story before you can take a step outside. Everyone has their own story, but how do you go from your fascinations to finding your story?

FIND YOUR SHAPE
You start to see the world more and more through the eyes of a filmmaker. You have an idea of your fascinations and story, but how do you make the transition to film? In this lesson I will take you through the rich possibilities to tell your story. There are no boundaries in shapes. Do you dare to take a deep-sea dive or experience the magic of film?

FIND YOUR FILM
Every great filmmaker started experimenting at some point. In this workshop we will make our own 1-minute documentary film. You learn to sit in the director's seat, dive into the world of editing and leave with your own film. From fascination to film: you did it!

As a self taught editor, i always wished for some guidance when it came to figuring out how to go about making an edit, finding sponsers, following trends and networking. What kind of content are we making? What is the clients brand? How do we ensure the viewer stays entertained throughout the video? What are the sponsors wishes and how do we meet them? After 3 years of trial and error, i managed to figure out many effective and easy ways to deliver the best content. When trying to grow your portfolio, and develop as a film/videographer it's important to have an ever growing network of fellow editors! Send me a message if you are looking to work on anything edit, videography, socials or content related!

Brands i have worked with in the past 6 months:
Bulldog Amsterdam
Greenmeister
OCB
Mascotte
MJ Arsenal
Softglass
