Are you looking for a reliable, flexible video production team in the Netherlands? Vortical is a full-service video production company based in Nijmegen, Netherlands (Holland), and we work with international clients to bring their creative visions to life. We combine big-city production quality with a personal touch – delivering top-notch videos at competitive rates. Our small, English-speaking team travels all across the Netherlands to provide everything from on-location filming to post-production. We’re professional, creative, and even a bit gezellig (that famous Dutch word for warm, friendly vibes).
Centrally Based in Nijmegen – Projects Across the Netherlands
Vortical is located in Nijmegen, a city in the east of the Netherlands near the German border. This strategic location makes it easy for us to travel anywhere in the country (and beyond) for your shoot. Nijmegen is well-connected – it’s just about a 90-minute train ride from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and equally accessible to cities like Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Being near the German border, we’re also within reach of Western Germany for international projects. In short, our crew can be on-site wherever you need us, whether you’re filming in the heart of Amsterdam or a village on the Dutch-German border. You get the advantage of a centrally based team without being tied to one city.
High-Quality Production – Without the Amsterdam Price Tag
We pride ourselves on delivering high production quality that rivals any top studio in Amsterdam or Rotterdam, but at more competitive rates. How? Nijmegen isn’t in the high-cost Randstad region (the big cities in Holland), so our overhead is lower. We pass those savings on to you. You’ll get big-city results without the big-city price tag. Our team brings the same level of professionalism, expertise, and creative flair you’d expect in Amsterdam – minus the premium pricing. It’s the best of both worlds: world-class quality that’s budget-friendly.
Example: A shoot in the Netherlands that might cost a fortune with an Amsterdam-based crew can be done by Vortical at a fraction of the cost, without compromising on quality. We believe great video production shouldn’t break the bank, and we’re committed to delivering value.
Full-Service Productions from A to Z – Or Flexible Partial Support
Vortical offers full-service video production from A to Z, as well as à la carte support for specific needs. Whether you need an end-to-end production – concept development, filming, editing, and final delivery – or just help with one aspect of your project, our team is ready to jump in. We understand that some clients have an entire project planned and only require a local camera crew, while others prefer to have us handle the whole process. We’re flexible either way.
Our video production services include:
- Concept & Scripting: Creative development of your story, scripting, and storyboarding.
- On-Location Filming: Professional crew for shooting anywhere in the Netherlands (or in our studio). We can capture interviews, b-roll, events – you name it.
- Crew Hire: Need just a camera operator or a full film crew in the Netherlands? We can provide experienced videographers, directors of photography, sound engineers, and more.
- Post-Production: Editing, color grading, and sound design in your choice of software (Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X). We turn raw footage into a polished final product.
- Motion Graphics & VFX: Compositing, animations, and special effects using Adobe After Effects to give your video that extra spark.
- Publishing & Distribution: If needed, we can even assist with publishing your video content online or to broadcasters – ensuring it reaches your audience in the best format.
Whether you want us to handle the entire production or collaborate on just one part, we’re happy to tailor our services to your needs. Our flexibility means you remain in control of your project. You can outsource as much or as little as you want, and we’ll seamlessly integrate with your team.
In-House Greenscreen Studio & Podcast Production
One of Vortical’s great assets is our in-house greenscreen studio in Nijmegen. Our studio is fully equipped for a range of productions – from interviews and presentations to creative shoots requiring a controlled environment. We can shoot against a classic black backdrop, set up a custom-built set, or use our professional greenscreen facilities for chroma-key and virtual background work. The studio offers a comfortable, private space (with free coffee and even catering options!) to ensure your shoot goes smoothly from start to finish. It’s an ideal solution when you need a controlled setting or want to avoid the hassle of on-location challenges.
Aside from video, we also produce podcasts – both audio and video. Whether you’re looking to record an engaging audio podcast series or a filmed video podcast, we have the experience and equipment to support you. Our team can help plan and record your podcast in our studio or on location with our mobile podcast setup. From capturing clear audio and multiple camera angles (for video podcasts) to editing and post-production, we make sure your podcast stands out. We’ll handle the technical details so you can focus on the conversation. (And yes, if you’re recording in person, we’ll make the atmosphere as gezellig as possible, so your guests feel right at home!)
Professional Gear – Blackmagic Cameras, Premiere & FCPX, and More
At Vortical, we believe having the right tools is key to quality. That’s why we own and operate our own professional gear. We primarily shoot on Blackmagic Design cameras – including the URSA and Pocket Cinema Camera lines – which deliver stunning cinematic image quality (up to 4K+ resolution) and a rich, film-like look. These cameras are excellent for everything from corporate interviews to documentary filmmaking. We also have a range of professional audio equipment (e.g., Sennheiser mics) and lighting gear (Nanlite LED lights and more) to ensure crisp sound and beautifully lit shots. Our in-house kit is ready to go, so we can mobilize quickly without the delays of sourcing gear.
Flexibility with equipment: If your project requires a specific camera or setup – whether it’s an ARRI, RED, or any other system – we’re happy to accommodate. We have partnerships that allow us to access any additional equipment your shoot might need. From drone videography to multi-cam live event setups, we can arrange it. In fact, we can scale up to full multi-camera productions (even large events with an audience) by bringing in extra gear and crew as needed – whatever the production demands, we’ll make it happen.
On the post-production side, our editors are fluent in both Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro X, so we can work within your preferred editing workflow. We’re also skilled in Adobe After Effects and Photoshop for any compositing, motion graphics, or image editing your project might entail. Whether it’s adding special effects, creating animations, or touching up visuals, we have the technical expertise to deliver a polished final video. The combination of top-tier equipment and software expertise means your project is in capable hands from shooting through to post-production.
Small, Flexible Team – Fluent in English (and Gezellig!)
We’re proud to be a small but mighty team. Being a boutique operation means you’ll work directly with the creatives who are hands-on with your project. There’s no big-agency bureaucracy here – our communication lines are short and personal. We adapt quickly to changes, and we give every project our full attention and passion. This flexibility allows us to tailor our approach to each client, ensuring a custom solution rather than a one-size-fits-all package. We can scale up with additional freelancers or partners for larger productions, or keep the crew small for more intimate shoots – whatever fits your needs best.
Importantly, everyone on our team speaks excellent English. As a foreign client, you won’t encounter any language barriers or communication hiccups. We’ve worked with numerous international clients, so we understand the expectations and can seamlessly integrate with crews or producers from abroad. Whether you’re from London, New York, or anywhere else, you’ll find it easy to collaborate with us. We can handle all correspondence, planning, and on-set direction in English, so you’ll always be in the loop.
And yes, we manage to be professional and “gezellig.” Gezellig is a Dutch word that doesn’t directly translate, but it encompasses feelings of coziness, friendliness, and a pleasant atmosphere. It’s a big part of Dutch culture, and we bring that spirit to our sets. Working with Vortical means you get a team that’s serious about film and video, yet easy-going and enjoyable to work with. We believe that a positive, gezellig working environment leads to the best creative outcomes.
