I graduated from university in marketing, but my dream job was system administrator. I loved Unix and programming, so I started working as a ‘sys admin’ for a while.

One day at the office, I met an editor who was working on a feature film on his Mac. My professional life switched from that moment. He explained the basics of cinematography and taught me a lot. From then on, I spent all of my free time reading books about the making of cinema and anything useful about the industry that I could find online and in bookshops. Meanwhile, I started doing both editing and colour correction, but soon I felt that helping directors and cinematographers emphasise their vision with light and colour was - to me - more rewarding and powerful.

I started using Final Cut Pro and later on moved to more specialised colour systems such as Lustre, Davinci and Spirit Telecine. At every step of this learning curve I encountered some limitations, but they taught me how to control and plan the job ahead.

Now, with Baselight, I can concentrate solely on the creative part of the job…

I wanted to create a place where the artistic atmosphere meets the cosiness of a home. It's a small creative studio with the ability to recharge people's minds and souls. We are also kid- and pet-friendly.

Our main profile is colour grading for commercials and music videos. And we share an edit suit with our friend.  We also do some R&D such as creating shooting LUTs.
