How it Works
Film industry professionals such as video editors, camera men and women, 3D artists, directors, sound recordists, film composers and online ad campaigners who worked in the FilmTruppe constellation are of course also regularly employed as professionals in the film and ad industry elsewhere. They are always happy to contribute their talent and skill sets to new productions with Simon. The number of crew members employed is determined by the needs of the project, i.e. the client and the product itself. Simon usually first discusses the client’s needs in phone calls or Skype conversations, drafts a corresponding concept and makes two or three „recommendations“ regarding the scope of production and tiers of possible budgets. This is always done with the client’s desired end results in mind and can range from very simple to big production. With 30+ years in the industry simon recommends the minimum of what is needed to get the desired high level results.
Simon Bjoergvin Veredon
Simon is a conscious storyteller writing, directing and campaining. He has co-developed stories for screenplays, concepts for TV series, online spots and corporate videos, instinctively looking for the essence of what is being presented. Classically trained at Boston University School for the Arts, he now combines his skills with finding the essence of what his clients are offering to the world.
Working as a professional in the film industry, he managed to integrate a classical spiritual path with a modern day Guru and now also teaches personal development techniques and archetype based storytelling.
Being a practitioner himself he feels close to the needs of clients that are making their way in the world as practitioners of healing modalities, as coaches and facilitators. Of course the needs of bigger clients are no less engaging. In the end it all comes down to finding the core of the offering and discovering the story that is waiting to be told and heard by their target audience .
Typologies & Storytelling
His search for meaning has taken him to the archetypal knowledge of the 4 human powers of the soul, which he has taught in his Archetype Seminars in Berlin and developed an original way of casting and character development for films and TV series for which he co-founded a group with writers, directors, actors and crew members in Berlin.
FilmTruppe Constellation
FILMTRUPPE was founded by simon in 2013 in Berlin as a „constellation“, not a company, of like-minded industry professionals. Simon set himself the goal of truly exploring the purpose of an assignment and discovering the „story“ of a product or a project together with the client and letting what he finds flow into the concept, script and finally the production. He conducts his conceptual search for meaning and story under his „People Get You!“-methodology and then collaborates, where practical and sensible, on the finished concept, script and shot ideas with his trusted FilmTruppe professionals. The array of departments include: camera, sound recordist, sound mixers, filmscore composition, editing, 3D CGI, and online ad campaign specialists and agencies.
