We hired Josef and his colleague to take dawn drone shots of a Cancun Hotel. He was very easy to work with, took direction well and turned in great footage!

Josef is an exceptional filmmaker. I was very impressed with the amount of work he was willing to put into this project and every little piece of feedback I had was implemented in the best form and with a smile. I highly recommend hiring him!

2.0 Produced for CNBC Digital Video
Documentary-style videographer needed for a CNBC video
40 degrees shoot in Merida. It was great to work this project with CNBC. I was commissioned to shoot a 2 camera interview on a Sony a7sii and a Canon R5, that due to the hot temperature, got overheated at the last part of the interview, so we've changed the format from 4k to HD and got it finished. After I shot the B roll through the day, I got to my hotel and watched the footage, realizing that just the last part of the interview got out of focus due to the Autofocus tracking got off after we've changed to HD, so I decided to go back another day to reshoot just that last part, using instead of the Canon R5 a Panasonic GH4 with my Sony a7sii and reframed it to finished the assignment. I'm a bit dissapointed on how this all got miss understood and specially the color graded footage on the final edit doesn't match at all.
