However the constellation, you can count on my dedication.

The Truth about AI

Everybody is fearing for their jobs or trying to get rich quick in the goldrush atmosphere. I gathered what the AI hype is all about in the context of professional creative productions and how you can actually benefit from it.

It´s totally up to you, if you just need me for a specific service or the full package. If we personally match and find a financial agreement, a small task can be as exciting as a big set of tasks!

BEST VALUE • BEST PRACTICE

Now that you have seen what the possibilities and benefits are, let´s have a look on how to get the most value out of working with a senior generalist like me.

On a low budget

Working with a team on low budget is tough. Or even tougher: You are “the team” yourself, as a new solo-entrepreneur or small start-up or agency manager, bootstrapping everything on your own can be challenging.

You do not have a creative team YET

With my broad range I can be of high value to low budgets as well. But. The budget is still a limiting factor. How to cope with this in the best way? Let’s together look at the complete deliverables and see which of them you really need. Can you shorten the length of the film-contents? Is that really the “Minimum Viable Product”, or can we reduce features further?


This does not mean we are reducing the quality of your content. It often even means we are focusing on what’s important and improve the impact of the overall message. Let´s see if we find a way together.

AUTOMATE YOUR TASKS

I am in the process of setting up automated and AI based creative workflows for small budgets or micro tasks. Check out if that might be interesting for you:

You have a Creative team already

To raise the quality within a team that is used to work on minimum budgets, best practice would be to pick one important aspect of the project and let me bring as much value as possible into this section.

With a mid range budget

This is the belly of the beast. Media productions for basically all types of ventures between well founded Start-ups and mid tier sized companies to national or international enterprises, organisations or their agencies. Each one of those projects is important and each one strives for the highest possible quality within their budgets.

You do not have a creative team YET

Here, I can easily deliver the full package with outstanding senior quality in all aspects. This brings maximum efficiency from idea to finished medium.

With enough budget we can bring specialists on board to speed up timing, to make sure that a specific aspect gets more attention or to integrate online tools in your company’s digital infrastructure.

If you can extend the time aspect of the famous triangle of “Quality vs Time vs Budget” I can even squeeze top notch high budget quality out of mid range budgets through the gains in low communication demand.

Not much to talk about, let´s get into the ideation phase.

You have a Creative team already

Working with a great team on mid range budget projects is great! I can most of the time fit into all the slots from ideation to final production phase. Fill the weak or missing spots of your team and work as an integral part.

For high budget projects

Nice! You work at the top of the line. In a huge company, agency, organisation or for a VIP. International customer base. And it’s one of your most prestigious projects. Something like worldwide TV Spots, high stakes interactive platforms or an internationaly acknowledged event or exhibition.

You do not have a creative team YET

Let’s be honest: Even as a “senior” generalist, there is always a specialist somewhere on the planet that is so focused on one aspect of the production, that he or she can do better at that specific part than a generalist, no matter how great he is. If you can afford getting the best of the best in the world and coordinating them, go for it!

In these types of super high profile projects I function best in the ideation phase because I know what is possible production wise and what it costs. The other top role for me in these productions is project/team lead and art direction, as I know the best specialists or specialised agencies in each category of production from my worldwide network and can orchestrate the perfect team for film, motion graphics or interactive top projects.

You have a Creative team already

Simple: You have an excellent production team, but missing a senior ideation partner or art director to manage the team. Let´s talk!

So. What do you think? You have a project that fits my profile? Then...

Let’s built Enriching EXPERIENCES together!
