Aspiring media designer with hands-on experience in film production.
What I'm looking for
My name is Ben Petermann, and I am an aspiring media designer specializing in film production. With a strong educational background from the Gymnasium Am Tannenberg and practical experience gained through various internships and roles, I have developed a solid foundation in the media industry. My journey began with a focus on Nautik and Verkehrsbetrieb at the Fachhochschule Wismar, which provided me with a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and media.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on several film projects, including roles as a lighting assistant and camera trainee. Notable experiences include working on the short film 'Enten Füttern,' which was nominated for the Hamburger Nachwuchsfilmpreis 2024, and contributing to productions at prestigious institutions like the Hamburg Media School and REAL FILM Berlin. My technical skills in software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro complement my hands-on experience, allowing me to contribute effectively to any production team.
