Firsttime Freelance Filmmaking

So, I was recently asked to make a promotional video for a local music school. Because my brother and cousin take classes there and I have become friends with several of the teachers, I spend a lot of time there anyways, so I have also photographed several events including concerts, projects and studio recordings. It's been real fun and i hope to de a lot more for them in the future. The first PROMO video is online now, and the video from their last end-of-year student concert is in the making. Im really proud of the promo-video as it is my very first.

You can check the video out HERE


We also did a pretty big studio job this week for Marvin Dee's first EP. We recorded six songs in three days including vocals, drums, bass, percussion, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, banjo, backing vocals and cello. These are some photos I took for Frank, the sound enigineer and co-owner of the music school to use for promotion. 

Frank, who worked on this project as the sound engineer, 
producer, mixer and drummer all at the same time. 

Ramon, the very talented banjo player.

to create a nice "dirty" sound for the electric guitar. 

Janneke, the lovely cellist.
