Hey, I’m Jan Horvath, a video designer based in Cologne. Over the past years I have created a wide range of projects, from narrative and documentary films to architectural films, fashion films, motion design and campaigns. I studied Media Design and Production at Hochschule Offenburg and today work for clients and studios in Germany and the Netherlands.
My goal is to tell personal stories with social relevance and to create images that express visually what I also want to say in words. To achieve this, I combine film, design and animation and choose from a wide range of modern and classic tools.
