Hi, I’m Lieven Van Hove, a Visual Director with extensive post-production experience for television and cinema. I’m passionate about discovering new ways to create unique atmospheres and to explore the unlimited technological possibilities of the medium. As a freelancer, I work as a director and editor, often taking on producer duties to shape the entire visual language of a project. My career blends technical craft with storytelling. I’ve directed and edited multiple projects, written screenplays, and produced work where I oversee the visual style from concept to delivery. I’ve developed concepts for live music visuals, contributed to major concerts, and served as an online editor for De Dag. I’ve also co-founded a creative collective, researched 360°/VR content, and worked across VR/AR and 3D workflows.
