Experts, CEOs and politicians, confident on camera
We have been putting high-profile people in front of the camera since 2008.
As a public figure, you need to come across with confidence on camera. Our camera coaching makes sure you do. Pathfinder Studios is an experienced agency for strategic video solutions. Commercials, photos and brand assets for multimedia use.
Why the impact of a video interview is no accident
Camera coaching for authenticity
You are an expert in your field. We make sure you come across on video with exactly the same competence and confidence – no acting training required. Completely authentic.
High-calibre video interviews
Interview statements need expertise, trust and quality – on both sides of the camera. That is how we make sure your message lands exactly as intended.
Confident on-screen presence
Presenting people with confidence on video takes craft experience and an empathetic understanding of people. That is why so many public figures trust us.
Professionals with 18 years of experience
Every interview is directed by Tom Wolt, and its content is refined by author Yvonne Schwalowski. That is consistent quality since 2008 – and you can feel it.
"Consulting as equal partners meets emotional storytelling."
Many experts are used to cameras, others need calm and guidance. Both are our craft. Whether a minister, CEO, bestselling author or leading researcher – since 2008, we have been helping high-profile people come across with confidence on camera. We coach you as equal partners on body language and posture, and we refine the content of your script.
Thanks to our scene-based approach, we get the best out of your expert statement or interview over several takes.
