ABOUT VALENTIN

Valentin is a Vienna-based cinematographer and brand strategist, and the founder of VALENTINFILM. His work is defined by a sophisticated use of lighting and camera movement to enhance dramaturgical depth.

What sets Valentin apart is his academic background in marketing. This strategic foundation allows him to translate complex brand goals into compelling content, built not just for social media but for every platform a brand shows up on, from websites to campaigns and beyond.

SERVICES

Three Services.

One line of thinking.

We rarely sell one piece on its own. Strategy shapes the concept, the concept shapes what we shoot.

Brand & Marketing Strategy

Positioning, audience research, and a content strategy for social media. Before a single frame is shot, we define who you are talking to and why they should care.

Content Concept & Creation

Concepts and formats developed directly from your strategy, designed to stop the scroll and hold attention, not just look good on a reel.

Production

Commercials and branded content shot with the same technical craft as international film productions, applied to work that has to perform, not only impress.

THE PROCESS

Every project moves

through three stages, in this order

STrategy

Positioning, audience, and content strategy built around how your brand actually sells, shaped by academic expertise and years of hands-on experience.

Concept

Translating that strategy into ideas: formats, stories, and a visual language your audience will recognize and remember.

Production

High end cinematography, professional pre- and postproduction workflows, that bring the concept to life on budget and on schedule.
