About Me

I am a nice guy living near Paris, France. I am passionated by Music (especially metal) and filmmaking. I am working as a freelance cameraman/editor/director running my own company HD Production and have a band with strong popularity in France called KAIZEN.

I am working on a lot of interesting projects and i am now specialized in filming gigs and edit it with a lot of skills. I started to run my own film company in Paris entitled HD Production. Working with professionnal cameras and skilled crew, i can handle all the production process until a final DVD. Me and my crew can provide our services through all Europe. We are mainly working into music and corporate films.

Quite recently worked on a corporate movie for the Government of Zimbabwe in Africa.
I own a professionnal camera HDV Z1 and have my own editing studio with the lastest equipment and powerful computer with massive storage possibility and all the post-production suite. So get in touch.
I now have everything at home to record my vocals performance (computer with Ableton audio software via a Toneport UX2 and a T-Bone Professional Studio Microphone) and i am ready to record vocals or featurings for your band if it interests me enough. I can do a wide range of vocals, especially clean vocals (that i am not doing alot in Kaizen).
