The moment JELLE decided to be a colour grader? That was only when at the production company Ambassadors he set up a VR department. When he graduated from the Multi-Media Design Academy of Breda in 2015, colour grading did not yet make him tick at all. But when he saw how in that dark room the shades of a film got looked at so closely, he was intrigued. Next, he just taught himself how to by arranging an interview somewhere and saying he wanted to work as a grader. He was given the chance and got hired. Now he lives out his passion for colours in films that are, preferably, amazingly executed, the kinds in which the love for filmmaking is felt directly. If the story contains a positive message about life: even better. In the meantime, he also creates his own stories by being the leader of a Dungeons and Dragons group. This is already the third year they have been coming together. He will leave them to themselves for a bit though if you would offer him to go exploring. Whether that is somewhere exotic to see the northern lights or something quite plain as the island of Texel, you can always wake him up for some trip or the other.
