What’s your best video? The question comes up a lot, and it’s a hard one — the honest answer depends on the day. But here’s an attempt at a ranking: ten pieces from a good ten years, in an order that feels right to me at the moment. Each with one sentence on why it’s here.

(I’ll write out the longer reasoning for each spot bit by bit — for now, the core.)

1. Fortune Favors the Brave

2025 · Mindset Studio

A real fight, a few raw days, one camera — for me the core of why Mindset exists.

2. Rifters

2016

VR thriller concept, shot on a RED Scarlet with a small VFX team. Early ambition — it showed me what’s possible when you simply start.

3. Frühling der Schwalben

2014 · Lifta

First big TV spot, shot at nineteen. Ran on German television for years. Clean and quiet — no shouting.

4. No Surrender

2024 · Mindset Studio

Brand commercial for Mindset Studio. A real Muay Thai fight at Sinbi Boxing Stadium in Phuket, visual language and attitude in one.

5. Unbestechlich

2020

Action mood film with Michael Smolik. Crypto AI thriller concept, developed as pitch material at Filmpool for Amazon/Netflix.

6. EY JAMAL — Die Abrissfahrt

2019

YouTube pilot for funk (ARD & ZDF). Proof that public broadcasters can do young too — if the people making it are young.

7. Lifestyle Real Estate Imagefilm

2022 · Immodilia

Brand film for a real estate duo from Cologne. Two shooting days, a small team, a lot of trust — the commissioned work I point to most readily.

8. No Risk No Story AI

2025 · Mindset Studio

A complete brand trailer, AI-generated from idea to finish — in under 48 hours.

9. Brawl in Phuket

2025 · Mindset Studio

Aryan’s first title fight at Patong Stadium — a memory for life, cut together side by side.

10. Autumn Collection AI

2026 · Chalisa

A complete autumn commercial for the handbag brand Chalisa — AI-generated in two days.


That’s the snapshot. The list keeps shifting — and that’s a good thing.
