Derek Jr "Made"

Derek Jr "Made" Videographer & editor telling bold stories through clean, striking visuals. Creative Director at Timestamp. Based in Lagos. Available for collaborations.

My creative process is a blend of artistry, strategy, and storytelling. I start by diving deep into the project’s goals, understanding the client’s vision, target audience, and the core message they want to communicate. Research and brainstorming play a crucial role here—I explore themes, visuals, and concepts that align with the story I’m trying to tell. Once the idea is clear, I move to pre-prod

uction. I map out every detail, from scouting locations and creating mood boards to developing shot lists and scripts. Collaboration is essential during this phase. I work closely with clients and my team to refine ideas, ensuring every element fits seamlessly into the bigger picture. During production, I focus on bringing the vision to life. Whether it’s directing talent, framing the perfect shot, or experimenting with lighting, I’m deeply involved in every aspect. I remain flexible, ready to adapt and capture those spontaneous, magical moments that often elevate the final product. Post-production is where everything comes together. In the editing suite, I transform raw footage into a cohesive and compelling story. This is where I fine-tune every frame, balancing color grading, sound design, and pacing to evoke the desired emotions. I also integrate creative effects and modern techniques to make the visuals stand out. Throughout the process, communication and collaboration are my priorities. I ensure clients are involved, gathering feedback and making adjustments to exceed their expectations. For me, video production isn’t just about creating content—it’s about crafting stories that leave a lasting impact.

📽️ “When Silence Said More” – A Short Film by Ifeanyi Chukwudinma aka Derek Jr “Made”

Sometimes the loudest conversations are spoken without words.
This short film captures the power of silence — the unspoken truths, the hidden emotions, and the moments that say more than dialogue ever could.

I poured my heart into this story because I believe silence is something we’ve all felt but rarely talk about. Whether it’s love, pain, regret, or hope — silence has its own language. And in this film, I wanted that language to speak louder than anything else.

𝗢𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴

Two filmmakers can charge differently, and both be right.

Why? Because filmmaking isn’t copy paste. It reflects:

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮 & 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘁 & 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

• 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆… 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Just because another videographer charges X doesn’t mean my Y is “too much.”
And just because I can lower my rate doesn’t mean I should.

Sometimes, what looks “cheaper” ends up costing more — in missed shots, poor storytelling, or edits that don’t move the viewer.

So no, I don’t accept what doesn’t match the worth of my craft. Because price without cinematic value is just a number.

Cheap videos entertain, but great films convert.

𝗠𝗬 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚

For me, videography and video editing are not just skills I picked up — they’ve been a passion for years. I started out many years ago because I fell in love with the process of telling stories through visuals. From capturing moments to shaping them in the edit, I discovered that filmmaking is my true language of expression.

Over time, that passion grew into a profession. I’ve worked on music videos, ads, events, and social media content — but at the heart of it all, my goal has always been the same: to create visuals that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗘?
- I approach every project with genuine passion and dedication.
- I deliver cinematic, professional-quality visuals that stand out.
- I’m reliable, creative, and adaptable — whether it’s a freelance contract, one-off gig, or long-term remote editing job.

If you’re looking for a videographer or remote video editor who doesn’t just “do the job,” but truly cares about the craft, then I’m the right fit for your next project.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
