About me
Hello my name is Josef Weilguny. You can see a sample of my work on my website:
I am a talented digital content producer, but more importantly I am an ambitious and interesting person who is always searching to think outside the box. I have always set my goals high and achieved them with great success. I graduated one of the best film schools in the world (AFTRS in Australia) in Direction.
After film school I had the crazy ambition to work in Bollywood, India. This was not an easy feat. I knew no one in India. Have you ever been to India
I worked on cruise ships for 6 months a year as a camera man then spent the next 6 months in India networking and learning about the industry.
It took me 2 years, and in this time I made friends with some of the biggest camera man and hottest Bollywood stars in the industry. I also worked as a camera man on travel and lifestyle tv shows. I even married the number 1 documentary film maker in India.
So India was fun and adventurous but now I am focused on my next goal which is to establish a good career, a stable life for my family and reach my full creative potential.
I am a one man band, and over the last 6 years I have picked up a wealth of experience. In 2009 I was a runner at "The Mill" London where I started learning After Effects and DaVinci. I have assisted the biggest cinematographers in Bollywood, I worked as a Camera man for Indian Television, worked as a news camera man / editor, and just recently, a university in Australia.
What sets me apart from other videographers is my understanding of web video. Using analytics and market data to target a specific audience with a single powerful message. I have realised from many clients I have worked with is that they don't know how to use video effectively to todays social platforms.
There is still an idea that if a company makes a video, people will watch it!
I know how to make video's appealing, and what sets me apart is my knowledge on how to create content to distribute on social platforms. Why is an understanding of social video so important
The insurgence of VOD (Video on Demand) is killing traditional marketing platforms. Social video is emerging as the most effective platform for advertising. Just to emphasis, I don't just make great looking content, I work with other departments such as marketing and analyses data to make sure to content I am creating appeals to the desired market.
I love technology and I am on the ball with the latest techniques. I am currently using a Sony A7s2 and a DJI Ronin m Combo, which is creating great results, smooth footage and great slow motion. My passion for digital does not just lie with camera gear. I love anything digital. On the sides I create websites and make electronic music. I was a BETA tester on the latest version of Ableton Live 9.6. (Music software).
