Cinematic stories, video avatars & automations – for digital nomads, NGO's & self-employed creatives.
I work with three layers at the same time: videos, workflows and infrastructure. Manual editing, AI-assisted content pipelines, automations with n8n and a privacy-first server stack in the EU interlock so that you spend less time getting lost in tools – and gain more time for real work and real encounters.

AI-generated content as a complement to manual editing: short clips, variations and snippets that fit seamlessly into your existing content strategy.

What I can do for you.
Three core offerings – plus an optional add-on for organisations with a strong privacy focus. You can start with a single building block or combine several.
Cinematic editing
You bring the footage, I take care of structure, rhythm and emotion: documentary-driven editing that makes your content understandable without smoothing off its edges.
AI-assisted creation
Instead of reinventing every format, we build a content pipeline: from one core piece we create reusable clips, snippets, subtitles and text blocks – with AI wherever it clearly takes work off your hands.
Avatars & interfaces
Video avatars and interactive formats that make your knowledge accessible – for onboarding, training or frequent questions. We can optionally extend these formats with simple chat interfaces.
Privacy-first server stack
For projects with a strong focus on data protection: I support you in taking the first steps towards your own stack for file sharing, automations and selected AI functions – away from scattered SaaS islands and towards more control.
What I work with.
Not a tool zoo for its own sake – but a setup that translates into real projects.
Main tool for editing, color grading, sound and compositing – from documentary projects to social clips.
- Documentary editing & storytelling
- Color grading & look development
- Fusion compositing for custom visuals
For avatar videos, explainer content and scalable video messages – embedded into your content workflow.
- Custom avatars for brands & people
- Onboarding, FAQ or funnel videos
- Integration into landing pages & interfaces
Depending on the project: different video AI tools for snippets, style variations and experimental visuals.
- Automated short formats from long-form content
- Subtitles, resizing & variants
- Visual experiments when they serve the story
Your own cloud for file exchange, feedback loops and project folders – instead of random US-based file hosters.
- Upload for raw footage & project files
- Shared project folders & simple links
- Foundation for a privacy-aware stack
Low-code automation for repeatable tasks – from upload triggers to AI-assisted content pipelines.
- Automated snippet creation & distribution
- Connecting cloud, AI APIs & tools
- Foundation for custom AI workflows
Custom ChatGPT setups – for server-setup sparring, content strategy or recurring writing tasks.
- Documented prompts & workflows
- Support for setup & usage
- Extendable with your own data
Manual editing + AI – without hype, without bullshit.
I don’t work “AI-first”, but with a clear focus: your story, your stance, your goals. AI comes in where it removes routine work and gives you time back.
That applies to NGO's just as much as to freelancers, brands or nomads: fewer tools that actually fit – instead of yet another dashboard nobody uses.
Examples for collaboration & budgets.
Not a rigid price list – but an idea of where typical starting points are. Concrete offers depend on your material, goals and scope.
Editing starter
You already have footage, but lack time and structure? I cut a clear 3–5 minute piece – including basic colour, clean audio and a simple title sequence.
Starting around 400 € – depending on how organised your material is and how many feedback rounds we plan.
Content & AI pipeline
Instead of distributing single clips manually, we build a small pipeline: one core piece that becomes reusable variants, snippets, subtitles or text blocks.
Starting around 700 € – more complex pipelines with several tools and automations scale accordingly.
Avatars & interfaces
We develop a short script, create 1–2 avatar videos and integrate them on a specific page – for onboarding, an offer or a frequent question. The avatar becomes the entry point into your content; we can later extend this with simple chat interfaces.
Starting around 900 € – scope and number of variants determine the final budget.
Privacy-first stack setup
For organisations that don’t want to scatter their content across US-SaaS: I support you in taking the first steps into your own stack – for example with Nextcloud for files and n8n for automations, on a server in the EU.
Starting around 2,200 € – not a 24/7 hosting or classic managed service, but a deliberately limited setup with documentation so you can continue in a self-determined way (or keep building with other admins).
Selected posts from Nomadic Filmworks on LinkedIn.
On LinkedIn, I regularly share what actually works (and what doesn’t) in real projects. From video AI that looks clean at first glance, to privacy-first server setups and content that leads to real client work instead of just views. Straight from my LinkedIn feed.
Video AI nailed the vibe – and completely missed the product.
A client gave me a very clear task: Based on a few photos of one specific branded headset, create an ad clip where exactly this product is shown. Not “something similar” but 1:1.
Grunge meets DevOps Part 2: Less downtime. Faster ops. Your data, your rules.
In one of my recent posts I wrote about the AI gateway built with Traefik and CrowdSec, clean routing and quiet logs. Today it is the system around it.
Video AI is clever, no doubt. But it doesn’t feel the moment when a shot finally lands.
I set aside time to return to the roots of my work: manual video editing in DaVinci Resolve. From selected compositions I created over the past years,
I really like this quote and at the same time I catch myself not really living it consistently:
“If you stay silent, you’ll stay broke. Talent doesn’t market itself. Even the best product dies in darkness.”
From one-off projects to repeatable workflows.
Posts about turning single projects into reusable systems – with content pipelines, automations and infrastructure that actually support your work.
Failures, fixes and postmortems.
Insights from experiments, mistakes and postmortems – what broke, what I fixed and how the learnings flow back into future client projects.
A conversation – then we see what makes sense.
If you have a project, an idea or simply the sense that your content and workflows could look different, send me a few lines or let’s talk briefly. We’ll look at what’s realistic – without hype and without pressure.
Send an emailYou can send me an email about you, your project and your current setup – in English or German. If you prefer speaking instead of writing, we’ll schedule a short video call – in German or English, for example via Zoom or a Rocket.Chat room.
