Summary
Managing Director of Eigenart Filmproduktion in Wiesbaden, self-employed for over 20 years. I combine two fields that are rarely offered together: professional moving image production and AI-based automation.
Video production: concept, camera, editing, animation, and grading for corporate and B2B clients. Multicam shoots (Sony FX3/FX6/FX30), livestreaming via OBS and Blackmagic ATEM, drone (A1/A3), post in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, 3D in Cinema 4D/Redshift and Unreal Engine.
AI and automation: Since 2023, consistently using AI-based production pipelines (ComfyUI, Runway, Kling, Veo, Sora, ElevenLabs, HeyGen) with a focus on character consistency and reproducible workflows. Also building local LLM infrastructure on my own GPU hardware: Ollama, multi-agent systems, RAG, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech. In process automation, I build solutions for lead generation, email and API workflows, reporting, and automated document creation.
Background: Diploma in Media Design (FH Mainz). I handle projects from budgeting to delivery and work both remotely and on site in the Rhine-Main area.
