I'm a Copenhagen based videographer and video producer specialised in interviews and storytelling. Connect with me on linkedin: thomas-hyttel or vimeo: vimeo.com/wearestory I script, shoot and edit all my videos. I do interviews- and mini-documentaries, story-based branded content and corporate communication. I've got a passion for film and storytelling, and more than 10 years of experience first as a freelancer and in my own production company We Are Story. In my company Iโ€™ve worked with full in-house productions directly with clients on a regular basis and together with agencies all around the world. Whether itโ€™s fiction, documentary or promotional, every project begins with a story. I understand that behind every human endeavour, from growing a company to designing a lamp there is a story. I understand that stories are the way we discover our world. They can push us out of our comfort zone and make us consider new ways of doing things. My clients include IBM, Bonduelle, Danish Design Centre, Roche, Novo Nordisk, Mobilepay, Tuborgfondet, LEMAN, Danish National Gallery, Trygfonden and EG A/S. On my projects Iโ€™ve been involved in everything from first idea to final result both directly with the client and together with agencies (scriptwriting, filming, editing, graphics, animation and sound design, workflow, organization, meeting deadlines and working on the strategy with clients)
