090 Jens Wirtzfeld - Director of Photography
About preparation and responsibility
Jens is a highly sought after Director of Photography and Director. His customers include BMW, Hornbach, YSL, Deichmann, Volkswagen, GOT2B, RIN (and many more).
From gamer to filmmaker
Fun fact: Jens originally got into the movie by editing gaming compilations. A little later, he even worked for the Electronic Sports League and filmed and edited recaps there. But he was in the mood for music videos and more creative freedom.
Music videos and free projects
Jens was always interested in trying out new techniques and implementing ideas. This was particularly possible with music videos, which did not have a big budget, but there was a great desire for creative concepts.
Preparation is everything
Jens is one of the DP's tasks to develop visual concepts and ensure that the visual implementation corresponds to the director's story and vision. Jens talks about his workflow and the tools he uses.
His tools include Refsee, flim.ai, Filmgrab, Kive, Movie Print and Cine Tracer.
Responsibility in advertising
We also talk about responsibility in advertising. Should you support every brand? Where are limits? Are service providers even responsible for the advertising message?
