Laila Lamoh, Actress & YouTuber (Germany)

"Holger did a wonderful job with a film that was very important to me. The drama that I needed was highlighted by his coloring choices, and he was an amazing communicator. He worked with what I wanted but also added his inspiring expert opinion. I would work with him again any time."

Dana Kippel, Actress & Director (LA, USA)

"Holger is not just a technical pro, he actively helps me tell the best possible story. Which, honestly speaking, many other editors aren't that good at. He is a perfect creative partner and one of the best editors around!"

Film & Video Editing

"What Drives the Cut?"

Motivation is the most critical element in editing any genre films and video.

Story is what counts, nothing else, and the cut, its timing and nature, must serve the story. This is because the story's only goal is the emotional impact and resonance it is supposed to activate deep in the audiences. Everything else remains invisible. The craft is hidden, in most expert ways, and for narrative films and documentary-style videos in particular.

That's why the best editors are storytellers, psychologists and visual aestheticists all rolled into one.

Color Grading

Color Correction & Image Quality Enhancement

Color correction and image quality enhancement is a prerequisite for successful grading. White balancing, exposure control, de-noise, depth of field management, phone and drone footage issues and so on, need to be solved first. We conform footage from various different cameras used on a typical production set, and shot match individual clips and scenes.

Creative Color Grading

Powerful images impact perception and behavior. They allow the audience to immerse themselves in a story, they activate specific emotions. Well-graded images stir interest and make people buy products. In today's hyper-fragmented information & entertainment age, images need to work extremely hard to break through clutter, to gain and maintain attention.

Excellent colorists need to master more than technical software skills: we are also professionally trained in perception and communication psychology, we understand how hues and colors, light and shadow impact emotions and thoughts.

Show Look / ShowLUT Development

We provide our collaborators with Look Books and ShowLUTs. Films and TV shows require a ShowLUT to actively envision the works' initial look. Colorists work closely with the director and the DP, to help create that look and provide the set with a solid ShowLUT that may then be adjusted during the color grading process.

Beauty Work

Beauty work is re-touching process for moving images, from commercials to feature films. Beauty work applies to talents' faces and bodies, as well as products and other critical objects in a scene.

Finishing & Re-framing

Be it a logo that needs to be added, a tattoo or other distracting objects that need to be removed, or bodies that need to be reshaped in a certain way, we accomplish all that - without any visible traces. We re-frame the film or commercial for streaming on social media platforms.
