5am action previs in Hong Kong🇭🇰 Found myself waking up in Hong Kong last week;) We‘re working on a shortfilm including some action of course! Can‘t share too much at this current stage but let me tell you @damianruchti is once again cooking up a great story which also is quite an important one to put out into the world✨ Looking forward to return to Hong Kong! Who’s interested in it?

FAMILY Kicked off June shooting for @swisscom 🚀 Had the honor of stepping in as the main gimbal op/DoP in a super fast-paced environment - making shots count and finding ideas on the fly.

🎬 Rebranding shoot for @sunsetmedia.ch This sequence is all about movement and flow - beautifully captured with @laurabenalcazarr and @aleks_pawlak tapping into their energy. Loved working with you both and excited to hopefully create something even bigger soon 🙌🏼 Always a pleasure shooting with my guy @_noah_steiner_ one of my talented DP friends and the mind behind @sunsetmedia.ch in Lucerne. Wild to see how far we’ve come already… and we’re just getting started;) Shot on the DJI Ronin 4D - my go-to camera for anything action or motion-based. I usually sketch out previs on my iPhone first - it’s fast, intuitive, and lets me explore new angles that take the visuals to the next level.

Probably one of the more challenging terrains I’ve worked on! 🧗‍♂️🎥 The DJI Ronin 4D was a game-changer for the shots I had in mind, and combined with the Sony FX3, we created an awesome final result.
