Who am I ?
I’m Jakub Jezny—although everyone in Denmark calls me Jacob —a passionate and ambitious self-taught video producer and editor. Based in Copenhagen, born in Slovakia. Currently available for work or job experience.
I am educated as a bachelor in E-concept development, which focuses on innovation, web development, social media and prototyping. Even though my studying subjects did not involve a field of video production, it gave me a great amount of related knowledge which I used for my development. During the studies, I learned how to work on a wide variety of projects, which sets a great basis for better understanding design, users and technologies.
With every new project, I am challenging myself and learning something new.
I would like to work more with video on a bigger scale and that’s why I’m seeking more opportunities. Working on projects that make an impact or have a purpose gives me great happiness. I’m also interested in photography and front-end development.
Concept writing.
Starting from scratch and understanding all bases of development is important for me. I have experience with idea generation and concept writing.
Camera Handling.
The camera is my best friend. Shooting, filming or just carrying it wherever my journey takes me. Most of my videos are in style of guerilla filmmaking.
Post Production.
My biggest strength is in post production. Working with Adobe products such as Premier Pro, After Effects for simple motion graphics or post processing photography in Lightroom.
Finished Projects.
My study background helped me to understand deeper social media and user behaviors. Applying online strategies for the final production is as important as the video by itself.
