CHRISTOPHER
INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER / VIDEOGRAPHER IN LISBON, PORTUGAL
My name is Christopher Michael (aka Mister CAMCAT) and, being a full-time independent filmmaker from Berlin, I'm now swinging my cameras here in Lisbon, my "new" home for the past seven years. Apart from being a dedicated cinematographer / videographer and director, I also find joy in dynamic editing, vibrant color grading and crisp sound design.
Being the 1st DP on a Volkswagen Tayron commercial, a "Bloomberg Originals" Documentary and another (currently top secret) TV commercial - which will be streamed from spring 2025 onwards on major US networks (such as Hulu, Peacock etc.) - marked some of my biggest highlights last year. I'm experienced shooting and grading within the eco-systems of ARRI, Blackmagic Design, Canon, RED and SONY.

With CAMCAT I'm offering high-quality, but low-to-mid budget (motion) pictures specializing in branded content (such as commercials & product presentations) documentaries, music videos, podcasts, short films, but also videography of corporate interviews, conferences and many more in both formats, videography / film and photography. I'm also offering post-production upon request.
Unless ordered otherwise, my goal is to make each video look like an expensive film and to find ways to transport a high production value at low production cost to make your video stand out, all of which has a proven record of success with a variety of very happy former clients (a few reviews can be found a tiny bit further below).
So, should you be looking for a DoP / cinematographer / cameraman / videographer or photographer in Lisbon or elsewhere in Portugal, I'll be looking forward to receiving your cooperation request. I will try answering every query as quickly as possible - usually on the same day - and hopefully soon be ready to tell your story in the cinematic way it deserves.
