As an assistant I was mainly used to "real" film and now I work mostly on DIGITAL BETA and now more and more with HD CAM/ ARRI ALEXA. Even though DIGITAL Video provides real good quality, especially for TV purposes, I must admit that my heart still belongs to film and its "human" images. Certainly one must be open for new technologies and their future possibilities.
Nevertheless while working on DIGITAL Video I try to influence the images, using tricky Menu-setups and filters to come close to what the situation needs. However my principal direction is to lend every film his own "look and feel".
Of course I have not yet created real striking "masterpieces", but there are a few projects, of which I am proud to say, that I was the man behind the camera.

It goes without saying that I`m not alone behind the camera, making a film is always teamwork. Certainly there is one person that carries the main responsibility and that´s why they say "A film by ...", but finally it is a joint work of many people. It would be beyond the scope of this little Web-Site to list the names of the crew-members, who helped me to do my job.Just one word to all of you, who were on my side with their help and their advices, their criticism and their encouragement: THANK YOU - These films are also your films !
