Hi, Rene Sebastian
And I get shit done
in media production

As a producer and assistant director, I drive projects forward by making production plans, solving problems, managing all moving parts and taking all the headaches off your plate 💆🏻 Oh, and I'm not afraid to pick up a camera myself once in a while or spend a night editing.

Nice to meet you 🙋🏻‍♂️

You might know me from some videos or movies I worked on.

I had my contributions in the Tomorrowland 2022 and 2023 aftermovies, the fastest drone video with Max Verstappen and Sim 2 Reality pieces, the brutal downhill one-take for Red Bull Hardline, the slow-mo sequences for The Nines and Audi Hoonitron. The Vandaag Inside show leader and Efteling Zomeravonden promo. Afterburn a feature film and the Defqon.1, Mysteryland, and Paaspop aftermovies.

Besides all the AD'ing, producing and filming, I still love to use my analog and digital camera. I like to be invisible on a shoot day, catching the raw and pure emotions. Staging a photo is not for me...

About

Graduated at Grafisch Lyceym Eindhoven on video and interaction design in 2007. Meanwhile I've been working in the creative industry for over 19 years. From camera operator to full productions, from production assistant to directing, from digital to analog photography.

In 2014 Rene.io was founded and produced tons of videos and photography as a part time freelancer. With a wide variety from "one man band" productions, to shooting big productions with over 150 people on a callsheet. I've seen every corner of the spectrum and I'm eager to share all that knowledge.
