about me
After having worked for 13 years in a theatre as marketing manager, I switched to the televsion, film and documentary world. I'm an enthusiastic allround media / moving image researcher/editor/composer with a decent experience in searching for all kinds of footage, clips, films, audio, photos, illustrations etc. for television, film festivals, internet, documentaries, DVD's, seminars, courses, speeches. I arrange licence agreements, I manage budgets, I take care of transportation and shipment, and I'm involved in translating footage to other formats. I have several years of experience as editor and composer of tv-shows. I'm directing clips and films for tv-shows, DVD, internet and documentaries and I advise other directors about footage and clips. I also worked as editor at the radio. I'm intending to develop a web service in research, but can't say anything about it yet and am following education for Camjo (Camera Journalist). I'm aiming at making my own documentary film one day ;-)

remarks
As a researcher I'm allround and can deliver footage from a to z. I search for images, clear rights, adjust them to other formats or edit them to the proper length. I'm familiar with several leading archives in Holland and other countries. Also I can create my own material and edit it. I'm up to anything and I'm felxible in working hours. Every project is interesting whether it's for an hour, a day, a month or a year. I'm rather perfectionistic, but am able to work on five things at the same time. I can determine in a split second whether the footage is appropiate. On the other hand I can totally concentrate myself to what I'm hearing and watching without being distracted. I respect all sincere, humorous and openminded people and am myself an enthusiastic, bright and driven person.
