About Wim
Hi, I’m Wim!
I have over 35 years of experience.
My roots lie in the analogue world of the late 1980s, when I began my photography and video career at a University of Technology.
In the 90s, I established my own video production company, focusing on the corporate world and working for various multinationals in the Netherlands.
My motto: ‘Nothing beats the real thing’
In other words: don’t overproduce, it won’t strengthen your message!
Interviews that are fairly spontaneous and unscripted are usually the most persuasive and therefore the most valuable!
I’ve been working with ACrew4U since 2009. We work together multiple times a year on projects that span the full Benelux region!
Sustainability deserves our attention:
At my company, we generate more (solar) energy annually than we use, which reduces our carbon footprint.
Distance is no obstacle.
Sometimes a long journey by car (fully loaded with equipment) is much more convenient than flying – when you’re not sure whether your equipment will arrive.
On top of that it is often more sustainable.
I have been producing in many countries, from Norway to Sicily and from Northern Ireland to Ukraine – both within and outside Europe.
I am most at home working on:
- Corporate films
- High-definition
- Multi-screen
- Cross-media
- Documentary
