My greatest passion have always been film. I've been fascinated by it since I was a child, inserting tapes into a worn-out VHS player and attentively following the stories unfolding on the screen. My dream was always to create captivating stories myself.I've managed to do just that. Even during my studies, I began working on film sets and gradually made more confident strides in the video industry. I learned about editing, working with cameras, and led an educational film project for students in Poznań schools. Today, working as a camera operator and video editor is my daily routine.Over the years, I've also learned how to manage projects in the film industry. Based on scripts, I create production cost estimates for both personnel and equipment. I select subcontractors for each project, organize film locations, order the necessary equipment, and manage the work of the film crew on set. I stay in touch with the client at every stage of production and manage the budget.In my work, I skillfully combine both creative and organizational skills.Skills I've acquired over more than 12 years of work in the video industry:Excellent organizational skills - filmmaking is a multifaceted process that needs to be managed properlyTeamwork - Making films, even the simplest ones, requires the collaboration of many people with highly specialized skillsStrong communication skills - essential in interactions with both co-workers and clientsCost management - creating estimates tailored to the client's budgetSchedule managementTechnical knowledge about film equipment - cameras, optics, lightingCamera operator work - proper framing, lighting, camera movementEditing work - working with editing software, such as Adobe Premiere Pro to create a compelling story with provided footage
