CHRISTOPHER
VIDEOGRAPHER / DP / FILMMAKER
IN LISBON, PORTUGAL
Welcome to CAMCAT! My name is Christopher M. Heisler and, being a full-time independent filmmaker I am also the lead videographer, cinematographer / DP and director at CAMCAT, a boutique video production in Lisbon, Portugal.
Let me invite you to take a look around and / or drop me a message.
SOME EXAMPLES OF MY RECENT VIDEOGRAPHY WORK:

MY EXPERIENCE AS A DP / VIDEOGRAPHER
MOST RECENT MILESTONES:
- DP on various fashion shoots (among others for Luciela Lingerie, thecolorcult™, HORIZN STUDIOS and ANY Eyewear)
- Video Producer of a 18-episode documentary series + testimonial interviews for All Assistance in Italy (Director / DP, Editor, Sound Editor and Colorist, from January 2025 through June 2026)
- 1st DP on three Volkswagen Tayron commercials (winter 2024 / 2025)
- 1st DP on a "Bloomberg Originals" Documentary, I was booked by award-winning producer Matt Goldman
- 1st DP and Colorist on a TV commercial for TGLA - streamed on major US networks (such as Hulu, Peacock etc.) shot on an ARRI Alexa Mini (October 2024)
- Video Producer (full-service) of several commercials
- My Short Film "THE SOUTH BANK" (written and directed by me) was officially selected by six international film festivals and gained one time finalist and twice the semi-finalist status
I also very often operate as a "one-man-band", where I shoot, frame, light talents and background, capture sound (both shotgun mic and lav mics), place negative fill, motivational lights and so on, to not only achieve the best visuals but to also purposely keep the cost for my clients low, as booking a whole crew is doable, but expensive. But I'm a hard worker and despite being German I'm equipped with a sense of humour.

CHECK AVAILABILITY OR REQUEST A QUOTE
Or maybe a 30-minute consultation, completely free of charge?
Either way, come say "Hello" on WhatsApp:
With CAMCAT I'm offering high-quality, but low-to-mid budget (motion) pictures specializing in branded content such as:
- commercials
- interviews
- corporate events
- documentaries
- music videos
- branded content
- short films
occasionally in both formats, videography / film and photography, as my skills originate from photography (since 1994, when I got my first mirror reflex camera). Obviously I'm also offering post-production upon request.
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.
