About
I’m Jaco Venter, a drone videographer and video editor based in Whangārei, creating social-first aerial content and action-driven short-form edits. I’ve recently developed a portfolio around DJI Neo aerial filming and transforming that footage into vertical TikTok-style stories—like selecting and sequencing karting action into a fast, engaging 49-second edit with branding and clean portrait reframing.
Alongside my creative work, I bring 15+ years of digital engineering, BIM literacy, and project coordination experience from construction and infrastructure environments across New Zealand and internationally. That technical background helps me plan shoots, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and deliver organised results—whether the job is remote video editing or Northland-based filming for property, construction, specialist content, or events.
