About

I am Bas Swelheim, an all-round film professional with a love for animation and storytelling. I’ve built a diverse career since high school, gaining experience in motion graphic design, cinematography and post-production. I work with agencies and brands across various media, creating tailor-made content ranging from animations and social-videos to commercials and B2B video’s. As social media is dominating the media landscape nowadays, I’m always trying to keep up with the latest trends in social-marketing and content strategy. Nowadays, the world of generative A.I. is also opening up a lot of new possibilities, which I fully embrace. Besides having a lot of technical experience creating content, I love copywriting and storytelling as well. Creative writing is key to engaging content, in my opinion, so I’m always trying to come up with new ideas to tell a story.
