"Bas was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was an excellent communicator and followed instructions to a tee while throwing in some of his own flourishes in the final delivery as well. Also helpful was his ability to make an executive decision --- Bas took a different line of questioning than planned which elicited some great soundbites and in the end led to delivery of exactly what we needed." -- Yara Elmjouie, AJ+ producer

Bas was wonderful to work with on this shoot, which required that he be flexible and attentive to many last-minute details. He knew the space well and was able to get a wide range of broll and interiview footage, giving us a lot to choose from. Looking forward to future projects with him.

Bas is a highly professional and skilled videographer. He had great ideas throughout the project we worked on together, communicated quickly and clearly and dealt with some tricky access issues - which he handled with aplomb. I would highly recommend Bas for any video project

In a suburb of Buenos Aires is a shoe store that has become a pilgrimage for hipsters from around the world. Carlos Ruiz, owner for 34 years, had an intuition when the economic crisis hit. He bought up all the Adidas shoes from around the country. Last year, Adidas made a video about this retro treasure trove – and a hipster Mecca was born. Now, the 15th of October, Adidas will come by again.
