Videographer with side effects.

I film corporate videos and weddings in Vienna. Over the years, my own apps, tools and an online course have grown up around filmmaking. Here is how it happened.

It all started behind the camera when I was a kid. I uploaded videos to YouTube long before most people knew what YouTube was. My first channel with 100,000 subscribers showed me that this works, and ten years ago I turned it into my profession.

Since then, my projects have added up to more than 500 million views on social media. Several videos have passed ten million, and my record is over 50 million. Among others, I have filmed for Red Bull, Coca-Cola, BILLA, PENNY, Deichmann and UNIQA, and my videos have also aired on TV, for example on ORF and oe24.

Today, with videowien, I film corporate videos for businesses and wedding videos. I film everything myself, with several cameras on tripods, and work at fixed prices. I care about videos that don't just look good but actually do something for your marketing. And every wedding gets the same care as a brand production.

I also build my own apps for filmmaking: a camera app for iPhone, a white balance meter, a golden hour forecast, a teleprompter and AI editing for Final Cut Pro. On top of that, color presets (LUTs) for Apple Log and over 700 free tools in the browser.

What I learn along the way, I pass on. At ContentWerk I show freelancers and businesses how to produce their own social media content with an iPhone and AI (in German). The Mobile Filmmaker Club is all about filming with your phone, in English. And on my YouTube channel I test iPhone cameras and filmmaking gear.

Below you'll find all my projects at a glance. And if you need a video or have a question about an app: message me.
