Hello, My name is Aaron Kulik. I am a video and visual artist originally from Detroit, USA. For the past 8 years I was based in Berlin, Germany - but now I split my time between the USA and Mexico

I am very skilled at creating engaging videos from shooting/conceptualization to post production and pride myself in being able to think outside the box. I have over 19 years experience with NLE systems.

In addition to my freelance work, I have also been a live video artist for 14 years, and have performed in well over 15 countries around the world. Performing video mixing live has allowed me to constantly rethink the editing language on the spot, and has given me a non traditional and visually arresting style that is sought after by a host of clients.

I also often work with microscopes and macro lenses....doing both experimental video and photography. I like to create much of my imagery "in camera" , using various analog techniques pioneered by early video artists as well as developing my own processes through experimentation.
