Driven by a passion for storytelling and visual creativity, I honed my cinematography and critical thinking skills through hands-on experience as a Content Creator and as a Set Runner at Solo Leipzig, UFA Fiction GmbH. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of technical expertise and adaptive problem-solving abilities, essential for dynamic film production environments.
I tried shooting short reels for content on my public Instagram account, which helped me understand the camera and its functions as a whole. I also gained some insight into post-production and learned about the importance of coverage shots, which I initially forgot to include, forcing me to improvise. However, I still wouldn't say that I have enough experience to operate the camera for the level of quality we aim to achieve in our short film.
