Hey, I'm Elmer van Bree! A freelance videographer from Rotterdam

A 29-year old freelance filmMAKER & VIDEOGRAPHER

START OF MY JOURNEY

In 2015 my journey was ignited by creating video game content and movie compilations on YouTube, evolving towards my first real project—an electronic music party aftermovie. This led me to study "Communication - International Music, Events & Entertainment Industries" at Fontys in Tilburg.

Expanding Horizons

In 2017/2018, my journey took a turn as I delved into filming multiple music videos and aftermovies. My exploration continued with an internship at Lantmännen Unibake, where I had the privilege of filming aftermovies for large-scale events, some drawing crowds of up to 62,000 attendees.

SUSTAINABLE PASSION

In 2020, I embarked on a personal passion project— creating "Duurzame Dingen," a webshow dedicated to sustainability. This endeavor allowed me to merge my interests in filmmaking and editing with my commitment to environmental awareness. Taking on the roles of concept creator, director and editor. This webshow not only represented a creative outlet but also a step forward in using my skills for meaningful content.

FREELANCING

2021 marked a pivotal moment in my career; I completed my studies and started my freelance journey. Worked on multiple projects, including working on the documentary "Laatste Adem," where I handled camerawork and editing. This project was showcased in cinemas and featured on Omroep Brabant.

3-in-1 EXPERT

Today, my portfolio reflects a consistent yet varied body of work. I've had the privilege of working with big brands, and learned a lot from other talented filmmakers. Having worked on more than 150 projects, I've decided to focus a bit more on wedding films, documentaries, music videos and short films, while making corporate videos on the side. I'm very exited about what the future will bring!
