Open to new roles and freelance projects

From camera
to final
frame.

Senior video producer and 3D generalist based in Aarhus, Denmark. I take a production all the way, from idea and planning to shooting, animation, editing and delivery.

01 About

Some days I am on set with a steadicam rig. Other days I am editing, doing motion design, 3D or working in an AI-assisted workflow.

That breadth lets me see the whole production at once, talk to every discipline involved and choose the solution that actually strengthens the story. I like close collaboration, and I like getting both the creative ambition and the practical details safely across the line.

02 Approach

Three things I bring to a production

A Craft

Camera, light and edit

Fifteen years on set and in the edit suite. DoP on commercials and product films, live production, documentary, green screen and one of the early virtual production setups in Denmark.

B 3D and motion

What you cannot film

Technical animation and product visualisation in 3ds Max and Blender, combined with live action through compositing. Useful when the product is too big, too small or not built yet.

C Technology

AI where it makes sense

I build and run my own setups, from local open source tools to API automation. Because I know the process from the inside, I can see where AI saves time and where it does not.
