About us

Hi, we are Riske de Vries and Grietje Evenwel.

Two professional filmmakers with a great love for videography, and an even greater passion for sharing our knowledge. Knowledge that we acquired over the past 15 years as professional filmmakers.

In 2016, we started the YouTube channel 'de Videomakers', along with our website featuring blogposts and online courses. Our online platform has since become the go-to place in the Dutch-speaking area where enthusiastic hobbyists, aspiring vloggers, entrepreneurs and novice professionals can find knowledge and inspiration.

Our motto: we help you create better videos. We achieve this with an extensive collection of tips on filming, editing, presenting, YouTube, microphones, camera theory and much more.

We are proud of the community of enthusiastic filmmakers we have gathered around us in recent years. And we continue to dedicate ourselves to them by consistently adding new knowledge and inspiration to our platform.

Examples of previous collaborations

Samsung

In 2023, Samsung invited us to join them in Seoul for the launch of their latest foldable phones. We were eager to explore if these foldable phones offered any advantages for filming, so we gladly accepted the opportunity.



And we created more videos during this collaboration, such as:

  1. Video: Setting up your Samsung for filming, this is how it works!
  2. Video: Is a foldable phone useful for filming?
  3. Article: Make better videos with your smartphone: how to set up your Samsung.
  4. Article: Getting a first look at Samsung Z Flip and Fold 5: a press trip with Samsung.

Through Mafico, we've received various products over the past years, including the Rode Wireless Go transmitter set. We love this set and featured it multiple times on our YouTube channel and website.



We also mention the microphone these videos and articles:

The videos have collectively garnered over 17,000 organic views. Since we have the Røde Wireless Go in our possession, it will continue to appear in future articles and videos, when it's fitting to recommend this set in a specific context.

Sony

Another example is our collaboration with Sony. We received two Sony ZV-1 vlog cameras in a partnership in which the Dutch website CameraNU.nl. We were allowed to keep one camera, and organize a giveaway for the other one. We showcased this in the video below, along with an Instagram post. The video received 4,000 views and over 900 comments within a week, and the Instagram post received 500 likes and over 700 comments, all entirely organic.
