Zizers, Switzerland (Internship as a cameraman/cutter)
The whole first month I made a break from my current work as a frontend engineer and started an internship at a local video production company. This was a step toward the direction to become a freelancer cameraman and get back into video production.
Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland (Strongman Winter Edition)
A really cool event is the Fisherman’s Strongman Run — Winter Edition. It took place in the Mountains of the French part of Switzerland. When the event took place it snowed the whole day and the evening before. On the day there was almost one-meter of new snow. So the best requirement for the run. And I really mean this way. Watch our official highlight video below.
Adelboden, Switzerland (Ski Weltcup)
Once in a year, there’s a famous event taking place in Adelboden. It’s a skiing race, part of the Skiweltcup, the season for the professional skiers. The company I work for has the opportunity to do the Stadion-TV, do videos for social media and even stream the press conferences live after the races.
Cutting a Swiss Marathon registration movie
Besides being out in the snow behind the camera. Sometimes I also sit behind the computer and cut some videoclips. One I did during my internship was a short trailer for a marathon. The footage was shot on the last edition.
Bever, Switzerland (promo video shooting)
It was kind of a graduation work for my internship. So I spend a weekend with another intern in the beautiful, but extremely cold Engadina (-25°). We shoot there a promotion video for the upcoming Ski World Championship in St. Moritz.
As part of the shoot, we explored the tiny village of Bever at it’s best. While shooting the best parts of the town, we were able to enjoy delicious food, great leisure activities, accommodations and even parties. Before the trip I couldn’t imagine that this remote place even had something to offer. It’s extreme how much a place with 200 inhabitants can offer.
St. Moritz, Switzerland (Ski World Championship)
One of the biggest events in the ski circus is for sure the world championship. I was lucky to be part of this event as a cameraman and could feel the atmosphere there.
Because I had VIP access, I took some time-lapse videos besides my main work:

Promovideo Fisherman Strongman
During Eastern 2017 I decided to travel to a nearby German city. I choose Stuttgart. So I was there for 4 days and explored the place.
On my way back from Stuttgart I edited the promotion video for this year’s attempt of the Fishermans StrongmanRun. For me it was an honor to do so, because I knew this video gets a lot of traction on social media and local television stations which is always very rewarding.
The video got more than half a million views on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. It was also shown on multiple local TV’s.
I was sitting in the Flixbus in the evening and was creating the following video. The people behind me, which were able to watch my screen, must be very surprised when they saw it on social media or television. And I’m sure there were some which faced this situation.
Engelberg, Switzerland (Strongman Run Switzerland — Summer Edition)
It was summer, time for the summer edition of the StrongmanRun. A huge event in the mountains of Switzerland (Engelberg). 2000 attendees, which are ready to get thirty and wet. Our job was to record this event and create an awesome video from it, which our team did. Have a look below.
