Jan van Ooijen

In 2011 I graduated from the VEC (video editing & Camera) in Arnhem. Here I got diplomas for both camera and editor. Shortly after graduating, I started as a cameraman at 24kitchen. Here I was able to work a lot with professionals in the field and I gained the necessary ENG/studio experience by participating in the start-up of the channel. After 2 years of loyal service I made the move to become a freelancer. I can still be found regularly at 24 Kitchen as a cameraman. As a freelancer I work for both individual clients and facility companies. For example, I regularly work for Hoens broadcast facilities from Loosdrecht, I work as a cameraman/camera assistant for Endemol, and I do camera work for HPM in Arnhem. You can also find me on many different film sets in the Netherlands. Both as cameraman and focus puller/camera assistant. In my spare time I make short films. For example, I participate in the 48 hour Film project a few times a year. In September/November 2014 I made my first feature film during the 48 days film project. We made a 90-minute cinema film within 48 days. It premiered at the Eindhoven film festival and won the audience award.
