Hi! I am Basti. I am an internationally published Filmmaker & Adventure Photographer based in Tel Aviv, Israel and Cologne, Germany. I work with clients like Mercedes-Benz, Universal Music, ZDF, Lametayel, the Municipality of Tel Aviv and Tourism Boards all over the globe to create adventure / lifestyle films & photographs.
For more infos check the FAQ below.
In the last two years I got a lot of emails & messages with similar questions.
Here are some answers to the questions I get asked the most.
I am a full-time Filmmaker (Cinematographer / Editor) & Adventure Photographer.
I am based in Tel Aviv and work internationally. Last year I shot & edited 55 projects in 10 countries like the US, Iceland, Germany, UK, Israel, France etc.
My entire office fit’s more or less in one backpack. That allows me to be mobile and to shoot, edit and deliver fast and efficient – around the globe. Here’s a list of my current setup:
Cameras:
Canon EOS 1D X Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
Canon G7X Mark II
Lenses:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4
Sigma 85mm f/1.4
Canon 17-40 L f/4
Canon 24-104mm f/4 L
Drone:
DJI Phantom 4
DJI Mavic Pro
Stabilizer:
Glidecam HD-2000
Send me a mail with your ideas, with what you have in mind and we’ll go from there.
In general, YES. Shoot me a mail with some of your work (commercial work / personal projects / whatever you got).
If the timing is right, I am all open for the idea.
I usually work with the Adobe ecosystem: Adobe Premiere Pro / Adobe After Effects / Photoshop / Audition.
If I work with a TV Network, I sometimes edit in Avid Media Composer as NLE to align with their workflow. Whatever if necessary / easier. I prefer Adobe Premiere Pro though.
Mac: Adobe Photoshop / Adobe Lightroom
Mobile: VSCO Cam / Lens Distortions
Hot Chocolate. By far.
