André Schäffer – Profile

Portrait –

I create moving pictures that tell stories — from the air and on the ground. International productions such as the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, Art on Ice, and Karl’s Kühne Gassenschau rely on my visual expertise.
As a videographer and drone pilot, I combine technical precision with an artistic eye. My work ranges from live events and advertising productions to artistic projects — always with the goal of making emotions visible. Using state-of-the-art technology, I capture complex movements, spectacular perspectives, and striking lighting atmospheres in cinematic form.
At Filmlikeabird, filmmaking is not just about recording images — it’s about storytelling. Every shot is carefully composed, every movement intentionally chosen. My approach goes beyond standard drone footage: it’s about atmosphere, composition, and aesthetics. More than 20 years of experience as an independent artist allow me to craft visual stories in a unique and distinctive way.
