Hi there, my name is Finn D’Arsie. I’m a recent graduate of Concordia University’s Film Studies program (BFA.) My abilities lie in both the technical and artistic side of filmmaking. Whether it be video editing or capturing footage, I pay the utmost attention to the salient aspects of visual storytelling. Coloration, pacing, sound, structure and lighting. When it all comes together effectively, it means audience engagement, it creates the difference between high and low production value and whether the audience feels that their investment and time is well spent. When working with a client, I first look to understand their needs, what is it that they wish to accomplish in their project, and what kind of investment and or emotional connection they wish to create that best achieves their goal.
