I shoot films and stills for esports, live culture, and the brands that want their energy.
Brussels-based. Ten years behind the camera. Concept to final cut, usually solo.
Esports, concerts, the live room.
I move fast when it counts and come out with the film and the stills. Esports floors, stages, and crowds at capacity.
Campaigns, brand films, and testimonials.
Two years as the in-house video and photo lead at Teamleader, plus freelance campaign work. Concept to final export, one person handling all of it.
IEM Cologne 25
Cover Intel Extreme Masters in Cologne across three days. Players at the desk, the stage, partner activations, and the crowd. Deliver a clean set of selects that hold up for Intel and its partners.
I shot the floor and the stage for three days, from warm-ups to the winners' moment, plus the Wortmann, Mifcom, Orion7000, and SteelSeries partner activations. One photographer, moving with the event, editing selects between sessions for instant publishing on socials.
"Some of our best performing social content in terms of engagement rates, compared to any prior IEM."
Hannah Holden · Senior Producer, Intel
A full campaign in two days.
Teamleader needed an entire campaign's worth of social content across formats, on a tight schedule.
In two days I directed and shot three short videos in three formats plus around thirty stills. With writing and editing, this was about ten days worth of work. One person, one production, a full campaign of assets.
Most campaigns this size assume a full crew and a week. This is what one experienced person delivers in two days when they own every step, from script to final export. Hire once, everything gets handled.
Concept, shooting, editing. Photo and video. Usually all of it, by one person.
Live coverage
Esports, concerts, events. I move fast in a live room and come out with the film and the stills.
Brand & campaign
Testimonials, product films, multi-format campaigns. Concept to final export, on schedule.
Photography
Stills that hold up next to the video, shot on the same job, delivered as a clean set of selects.
I'm Colas De Maubeuge, a filmmaker and photographer based in Brussels.
I make films and stills for live events, esports, and brands, and I usually handle the whole thing myself: concept, camera, edit. A client gets one person who can walk into a live event or a campaign shoot and come out with everything they need. I can also lead a team when the scope warrants it.
I shot major international events across Europe and beyond. I spent two years as the in-house video and photo lead at Teamleader, one of the country's fastest-growing tech companies, producing everything from customer testimonials, podcasts, webinars to multi-format campaigns.
I trained at the INRACI film school, hold a bachelor in Communication and a master's in Film Analysis and Scriptwriting from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, and have freelanced for over ten years.
