About

As a Resolve-first Colorist & Editor based in Amsterdam. For 17+ years I’ve helped brands, agencies, and documentary teams turn raw footage into emotionally clear, broadcast-safe stories. My approach is simple: story first, then the polish—clean structure, calibrated color, tight rhythm, and sound that supports the message.

Latest work: tideonvfx.com/latest-work

I work end-to-end in DaVinci Resolve (Edit/Color/Fairlight/Fusion). That means consistent looks across deliverables, fast iteration, and fewer handoff headaches. Whether it’s a doc short, branded spot, founder story, product film, or a slate of social cut-downs, you get a cohesive aesthetic tuned for your audience and platform.

Technical strengths: advanced color grading (ACES/RCM), cinematic skin tones, shot matching, noise reduction (Neat Video), tasteful motion titles in Fusion, multi-cam timelines, dialogue cleanup, and delivery for web/broadcast. I’m comfortable collaborating via Resolve Cloud/Frame.io and can interchange with Premiere/FCP when needed.

What clients say they value most: clear communication, senior taste, and dependable turnaround. Share a brief and I’ll propose an edit/grade plan, deliver a quick sample, and iterate with you to final. Ongoing partnerships or one-offs welcome—let’s make something that moves people.
