Brief information on our own behalf in advance: On 16.11.2024, we are organising our second Creative Camp on Cinematic Lighting with Thorben Winkler — this time in Düsseldorf. More information and the.

In this episode, we welcome Felix Aaron, independent director and photographer. We talk to him about his career so far, which has taken him from his thesis with the title “Dobermann” to the UDK Berlin to directing commercials for brands such as MERCEDES BENZ and MCM. Felix also directs various music videos for artists such as OG Keemo and gives us insights into his future productions with artist Berq, which deviate from the norm of music videos. Felix attaches great importance to image-design tools and motifs that trigger emotions when watching and explains to us how he finds them.

Just as Felix understands his job, balancing money and creativity is also part of a director's job. What is possible with a specific budget, where does money impede creativity and how can you trigger big emotions even with rather little money?
