Music Videos & Release Visuals for Bands
I direct and produce music videos and release visuals for bands and solo artists who care about mood, storytelling, and detail. My background sits between artist-filmmaker and hands-on producer: I shoot, edit, and grade myself, and I also take care of band photography, cover artwork, reels, and Spotify Canvas if needed – so your whole release has one coherent visual language. On the shoot day, I’m not alone: I bring a set assistant to help with lights, cables, and practical things, so I can stay focused on performance, framing, and the overall atmosphere.
What you get when we work together
- Concept & visual language
We find a visual approach that fits your music, your energy and your budget – from abstract and atmospheric to performance-driven. - Direction, camera & on-set support
1 main shooting day with me as director/DoP, plus an assistant for lights, gear, and logistics. Small crew, high focus. - Editing & rhythm
Cutting to the pulse of the track, shaping the emotional arc, making sure your performance feels alive and not over-edited. - Color grading
Grading in DaVinci Resolve to give the video a consistent look and mood (contrast, color balance, small refinements). - Titles & simple animation
Song title, band name, and subtle motion where it helps the storytelling, not where it distracts. - Band photography
A selection of band photos with a look related to the video – for press, social media, thumbnails and banners. - Social media versions
Vertical reels/shorts that feel like part of the same universe, not random crops. - Cover artwork & poster
Release artwork that connects the single, the video and the overall identity of your band. - Spotify Canvas / looping visuals
Short, looping visuals for your song on streaming platforms. - Delivery, metadata & file guide
You get ready-to-upload files for YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, etc., with clean, consistent file naming and basic metadata (titles, artist, credits), plus a simple overview of what to use where.

Examples
Caosonora “Blank Space”
For Caosonora’s song “Blank Space” I directed and produced the music video, shot the band photographs, created the cover artwork, reels, and a Spotify Canvas, and prepared all files for web and streaming platforms. The video was a commissioned work, shot handheld with a running drone gimbal that I deliberately nudged to keep the movement raw, lit with two Rollei Vibe 900 softboxes, with a helping hand from Oscar Acevedo.

Kaminsky “Blue”
For Kaminsky’s song “Blue” I directed, shot, and edited a 4K performance video filmed in the Vogtlandkreis (Free State of Saxony, Germany). The project was produced by me with camera assistance by Dinho Bacelar, shot digitally in color at a 16:9 aspect ratio with a runtime of 3:50. The band received: a 4K master and web-optimised versions of the video in different formats, a small set of band photos, and cover artwork for YouTube and other platforms.
