Overview
I have a passion for video and the moving image. Ispiration comes from various life situations, but mainly from pop videos and commercials. Light in my work plays a huge role. The ideas behind my work are to deliver a message (the essence), using various techniques such as video, sound, stills animationand with the help of special effects. Therefore, I class myself as a communicator.
How it´s all started
My artistic journey started in the early years of my childhood. From private fine art education, where a cocktail of ortodox Russian painting and Soviet Ideology were in place. A hunger for exploring different techniques was partly satisfied at Polish Art College by studying photography. My breakthrough came during working for a feature film in Spain. I realized that the camera is the right tool to express myself and communicate the idea.At Hastings College, I have tried different techniques during a four-year Multimedia course.Nonetheless, video editing is my preffered method from a variety of tried techniques. I feel my artistic journey is similar to developments that have happened in the history of art. My ideas as child have evolved from simple drawing through to modern film-making, in a similar way that art has developed from basic sketches in prehistoric caves, through to digital video making and New Media platforms. This luggage of experience has helped me to deal with any task.
Conclusion
Intensive traveling, my light, adaptive personality and ability to speak in several languages makes it easier for me to communicate and deliver a message to clients of different background, race or country of origin.

Reference
Aleksander Kaminski worked at Viva Tv since pre launch in September 2008.In his capacity as Creative Director throughout his time here at Viva Tv Alex firstly created the channel's on-air look and subsequently produced many high quality television commercials, infomercials, title sequences, promos, bumpers and stings. Within very restricted budgets and time constraints Alex has continually managed to produce projects on time and to a very high standard using Adobe Premier, After Effects and Photoshop. Alex also designed the company's print adverts & business cards and contributed to the design of the website.
Alex is conscientious, creative, focussed and self motivated. I am certain that whoever employs his multifaceted talents in whatever capacity will not be disappointed.

Channel Director
I first met Aleksander while working at Viva TV. I was so impressed with his work there that when I had a project that needed graphic attention in my next position he was the first person I called on.
Alex proved to be a pleasure to work with on this project, which was put together with many time and financial limitations, but it is clear that Aleksander puts in the same amount of care and attention to smaller projects as he does to the larger ones.
As a customer he made me feel that my constant questions and emails were no trouble and his work was of the highest standard. His help, advice and professionalism was noticeable and I was very impressed with the finished item. I would have no hesitation in utilising his services again and would recommend him with no hesitation.

Alex’s contribution to a very demanding and intense film shot was invaluable. He was helpful in every department, professional in its attitude, disciplined and a very positive person to have on the team. I would happily work with him again & both sound & lighting were very pleased with his work. Thank you!
