Creativity in every motion

FILMMAKER. CUTTER. ANIMATION.

WELCOME TO MY PORTFOLIO!

Hi! I am Karo! I am a filmmaker and video creator based in Vienna, Austria, with a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Media Production from the University of West London.

Creativity has always been a big part of who I am. I love transforming ideas into moving images, telling stories through visuals and bringing imaginative concepts to life.

Currently, I work as a freelance video editor, creating content for a variety of projects. Whether it’s editing, filmmaking or developing an idea from scratch, I am always excited to explore new creative possibilities.

MY PROJECTS

Concert Videography

Broken by the Scream

I was invited by Christian Nakanishi, manager of the Japanese band Broken by the Scream, to film a live concert performance in Vienna. The aim was not only to document the show but to capture the energy, atmosphere, and connection between the band and the audience and create footage for social media.

In summer 2026, the band invited me to join them for two stops of their European tour. I got to film their show at Szene Wien in Vienna, as well as their appearance at the Summer Breeze Festival in Dinkelsbühl, Germany.

It was an amazing experience and I am looking forward to work with the band and crew again!

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR

I am a huge Billie Eilish fan and had the opportunity to experience her tour in Cologne, Vienna and Manchester. I captured a lot of footage throughout the shows on my iPhone 13 and decided to turn it into a short reel.

The project was a way for me to experiment with editing, pacing, and storytelling while showcasing how I can create engaging visuals from spontaneous, self-shot footage.

YOUTUBE/VLOGS

Lisa Pestschansky

I used to edit YouTube videos for Lisa Pestschansky, a successful Vienna-based content creator with over 100K followers on Instagram.

Her channel features food vlogs from around the world - capturing authentic flavors, cultures and stories through travel.

My editing focuses on pacing, storytelling and atmosphere, bringing her culinary adventures to life in a way that feels both dynamic and personal.

MUSIC VIDEOS

Innerberger Böhmische - MORGENBLÜTEN

A heartfelt project created in my hometown, Eisenerz, Austria.
This music video captures the spirit of a local Bohemian brass band, blending their warm, traditional sound with cinematic shots of the landscapes I grew up with.

With more than half a million views on YouTube, it has become the most successful Video I have ever produced and a reflection of where I come from and the melodies that still feel like home.

Winds of Ruin - A DREAM OF FADING AWAY

A friend of mine formed a band and invited me to create a music video for them. He developed the story and script, while I brought his vision to life through the visuals.

We filmed the video during the summer of 2026 across Eisenerz, Ramsau, and Admont.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT

SISTERS FESTIVAL @ ARENA WIEN

In 2024 I managed the social media presence for the Sisters Festival @ Arena Wien.

I planned posts, filmed and edited videos, managed the entire Instagram profile, posting scheduled and published the content. During the festival, I captured footage on-site for the after movie to convey the energy and atmosphere of the event. The festival had more than 1,500 attendees.

It was organized by an all female crew.

AFTER MOVIE PRODUCTION

AUSTRIA COMIC CON

I’ve been part of the Austria Comic Con Crew since 2019, where I combine my passion for film and pop culture.

Since 2021, I’ve been a member of the Social Media Team, creating after movies and highlight videos for the conventions social platforms and advertising.

My work includes filming the popular Cosplay Contest, interviews with the special guests and capturing the unique atmosphere of the event.

BA FINAL PROJECT

THE ILLUSION

A short film produced by myself as final project for BA Film and Media production at the University of West London.

The Illusion talks about the dark world of social media addiction, focusing on the story of a young man named Jason, whose life has been defined by his social media addiction for a long time.

Despite the negative impact on the relationship with his friends and roommate but also his university, Jason is unable to break away. Through a powerful visual narrative, the movie shines a light on the harmful effects of social media addiction.

The film challenges viewers to reflect on their own relationship with social media and recognize the importance of finding a balance between the virtual world and real-life experiences.

The film is available with german and english subtitles.

POSTER ART

NITSCHE KRACHERL

This is another project deeply close to my heart, which is inspired by my family’s long-standing beverage brand. A tradition that began over a century ago, when my great-great-grandmother created the very first bottles of “Nitsche Kracherl.” What started as a small, handcrafted lemonade in the mountains of Eisenerz, Austria grew into a family legacy that my mother has been running for more than 20 years now.

I practically grew up in the company, surrounded by the sound of the clinking of glass bottles and the warm chaos of my family working side by side. Our "Kracherl" aren’t just lemonades - they’re memories bottled with care, stories passed on through generations.

To honor this heritage, I designed a series of nostalgic posters that celebrate the legacy of Nitsche Kracherl, blending vintage charm with a modern visual twist to honor the tradition behind our beloved self-made family drinks.

2D ANIMATION

ANIMAL CROSSING ADVERTISEMENT

The second advertisement was a 2D animated ad telling the story of how the three characters ended up on the Switch dock. I designed all the illustrations in Adobe Illustrator and animated them in After Effects. This project was especially exciting for me, as it allowed me to fully unleash my creativity and experiment with animation techniques to make the story engaging and fun.

Both projects gave me the opportunity to combine technical skills with creative storytelling and I poured a lot of energy and passion into bringing them to life.

The program is so powerful and although I always thought it would be impossible for me to work with it, I realized that I actually enjoy working with it a lot. I especially love creating satisfying 3D animations, because they allow me to combine many different areas of the software into one project.

3D ANIMATION

In 2022 I took a VFX Design course during my bachelor’s degree, where I discovered my passion for Blender. Through this course, I learned that with the right knowledge, you can create an incredible variety of things.

MOTIONDESIGN

This is a sample video showcasing my motion design skills. I uploaded it here for demonstration purposes only - all numbers, names, and data in the video are fictional.

It truly reflects my passion for bringing ideas to life through motion, creating stories with visuals, text animations, and illustrations, and experimenting endlessly in After Effects. Being creative with video, text animation and illustration is where I feel completely at home.

PODCAST

As part of my bachelors degree, I produced a podcast episode. I planned and conceptualized the entire project, carefully researched and created the interview questions and handled all aspects of audio editing myself. The episode features Giulianna, a friend from Berlin, who studied Film and Motion Design and now works professionally in the video industry.

This project allowed me to develop my skills in audio production and creative planning, while also giving me the opportunity to connect with professionals in the field and gain insights into their creative process.

AUDIOVISUAL ESSAY

I dove into the world of cosplay to create an audiovisual essay for my studies. I researched the topic for weeks and brought it to life by combining stock footage with my own recordings from the Austria Comic Con. This project was a playground for experimenting with visual storytelling, blending sound, images and editing to communicate ideas in a dynamic and interesting way. It also allowed me to push my creative boundaries and explore new ways of expressing stories through video.

INTERVIEW

I helped creating an interview with Markus Riedler from Napalm Records, a well-known Austrian record label. I handled the camera work and edited some footage, alongside with my Cousin. This project allowed me to gain early hands-on experience in filming and editing, while working with a professional person from the music industry.
