Nick Platzer filming in South Sudan for Nix-Film; Journey to the Climate

I go where the story is

I'm Nick Platzer — documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and colorist based at Lake Constance. After a decade filming in some of the world's most remote places, I bring a storyteller's eye to every production. Whether you need a DP, a director, or both.

Your Story, My Focus

Ten years of documentary work taught me one thing: the story comes first, the camera follows. I've filmed in South Sudan, the Amazon, Greenland — places where you get one chance to capture the moment. That discipline shapes how I work on every set, whether it's a feature doc or a one-day commercial shoot.

Cinema-Grade Gear, Ready to Integrate

I bring a full cinema camera package to set — Ronin 4D, Inspire 3, FPV, audio, and a complete color pipeline including HDR. Remote monitoring via DJI Transmission means directors and clients can watch and collaborate in real time. Whether I'm leading the camera department or joining your crew as DP, the gear integrates seamlessly. Details on the Gear page.

Based at Lake Constance. Working Worldwide.

Home base is the Bodensee region — quick access to the Alps, Switzerland, Austria. But I've worked on five continents and I travel light. If your production needs me somewhere, I'll get there.
