Why do autumn images look better?

It’s more than the changing color:

Heading outside with my camera is one of my favorite things to do.

Capturing the vibe of a city.

While out there I realized that the sunlight is always so pretty during this period.

But why? 

I looked it up: The autumn sun sits lower in the sky. 

The sunlight travels through more of the atmosphere adding more natural diffusion. 

It's also something we do in filmmaking. 

Adding extra layers of diffusion to make light appear softer and more natural.

So don't forget to take some shots when you're enjoying the autumn sun.

Creating Video Content to Help Your Business Grow. Video | Marketing | Content | Branding

No alternative text description for this image

The one thing that makes content stand out.

Here's how to use it:

It makes everything much more interesting.

And it's used in filmmaking all the time:
-Light and shadow
-Opposite colors
-The villain and the hero.
-Fast vs. slow pacing

It's contrast.

And it creates depth and interest.

It works for all types of content. 

So how to use it for your brand?

Here are some examples:
-Before vs. after
-Problem vs. solution
-Struggle vs. success
-Wins vs. fails.
-Expectation vs. reality
-Weakness vs. strength

If you want to make your content stand out, ask yourself:
How can I add contrast?

PS: Added some examples where I used color contrast.

Sometimes you need to create just for the sake of creating.

What’s the last thing you made for yourself?

After a period packed with projects for my clients.

I had some time and energy to create something freely.

Just me, my camera, and Gouda as a playing field. 

For creative work, it's crucial to explore new things.

And there's no better way to shoot something just for the sake of creativity. 

To try new things. 
To explore new styles.
To make something that I find beautiful.

It's almost done!

5 years ago my videos looked flat and forgettable

UntilI discovered what color grading could really do.

It’s how videos get that branded look.

I've spent years diving deep into it.

Here's what makes it powerful:
→ Colors can evoke emotion instantly.
→ Consistent colors build brand recognition.
→ Subtle tweaks can change a scene’s mood.

It’s the difference between a stunning visual and a forgettable one.

"What’s your favorite country you’ve ever been to?"

That question came up during a shoot recently.
 
His answer: Iran and Japan second.

Mine? Japan.

Japan had been on top of my list for over 10 years.

Fascinated by its culture, tradition and contrast.

When the opportunity came, I finally traveled there for a full month.

Expectations where high..

And it didn't disapoint.

The contrasts amazed me: The peace of temples and nature vs. the chaos of the cities.

Pilgrim trails where I could walk for hours without seeing anyone versus the chaos of Tokyo 

The nature blew me away: Alpine mountains, ancient forests, hidden trails. 

The people surprised me even more. 

I expected reservedness. but instead, I experienced warmth, generosity, and unforgettable encounters.

Trips like these stay with you forever, especially with captured photos.

Behind the scenes vs. the final shot

This is what it takes to get there:

We started with the concept for the brandfilm.

Turned brainstorms into a script and storyboard.

Scouted locations and planned the shoot.

I brought two cameras and four lights to be prepared for any issues.

It was very bright outside so I used a 600-watt lamp to light the talent.

That created harsh shadows, so I added a smaller light with diffusion to fill the other side.

Once the setup was dialed in, everything went smoothly.

In post production I did some colorgrading as well.

What do you think of the final shot?

PS: Thanks for the BTS footage Ivanna 📸

5.0 ⭐️ x 50 "We recommend Fred Vermeij"

I wasn't good at asking for reviews:

When your own name is your brand, the feedback feels personal.

It’s not “just business” when you read what people really think about you.

That's why I avoided asking for reviews at first..

But as a marketer, I know the importance of social proof.

So I started asking: And then the reviews started rolling in.

And it wasn't that bad!

Getting 5 stars from someone is nice. But someone taking the time to write multiple lines about why it mattered to them? That means a lot.

They’re proof that putting care into the process and the video really does make a difference.

A big thanks to my clients and to everyone who left a review!🙏
