Born and raised in Brussels, Belgium, I was always in awe with the production of film, and broadcasting. I always loved being on camera, from creating cringy videos with friends at a very early age, with a camcorder from my parents, to becoming an aspiring filmmaker, at the current age of 24, with a master degree in marketing and a graduate degree in audiovisual communication.
I currently live in Madrid, Spain, as I have for the past decade. However, with a Spanish father, and a German mother, as well as living in Belgium for the past 12 years, I am multilingual. I currently fluently speak:
English
Dutch/Flemish
German
Spanish
French
And am learning many more, which I can SRT translate personally for you.
Ever since I was a child, I was in love with the world of YouTube and other social media, and also created a YouTube channel as a young teenager with friends, in order to be able to put my post-production skills to the test, as well as being able to know the basics around how to create a story through film, while having fun capturing gameplay on YouTube, and doing things I was comfortable with. This has become a big help, and a big step, showing that I was editing already at the age of 13, through Sony Vegas Pro.
I now have knowledge on almost all different editing softwares, which I first started to learn through my year in University of Southern California, where I learned to switch over to Adobe Premiere Pro, and, at the age of 16 fell in love with the Adobe Creative Cloud, while later I got to practice more for personal projects through a social media account called “sebiscared,” which was a challenge I needed to do for a marketing class, that specialised in product placement as well as content marketing, as well as through my time being a student intern in the internal marketing studio of CEU San Pablo, where they showed me all different editing software, allowing me to master my craft in Final Cut Pro and Davinci Resolve, allowing me to master the art of color grading, which is a subtle and underrated art, yet when done right, impacts the viewer in the perfect setting.
Furthermore, I am constantly learning to create a brand on Esports, with my company called BAEsports, trying to become the biggest independent league in all of Esports, and therefore, am also constantly learning on SEO approaches, what has been taught in my exchange year in UCLA as well as my master’s in the Instituto de Empresa (IE Madrid).
I just graduated from my year in the Instituto de Empresa, but my real dream is in post production and in being able to make your own videos a reality, perfecting every single little detail. Therefore, it is important for me to be able to show this, with the help of my experience in editing, through different methods, such as my graduate degree, as well as my time in the University of Southern California, where I was taught how to make a story through the power of editing, no matter how simple or complex the production.
I can’t wait to hear from you soon.
