Motion design for promos & launches.

A 30-second film as an example: kinetic type, 3D, shader transitions, interface animation and sound design in one continuous camera move – taken from storyboard to finished clip by me. The same way I build promo videos, product launches and animated intros for you.

Everything under one roof.

Editing, design and storytelling are a craft: I decide what carries a story, how a thumbnail lands and where the punchline sits. I use AI tools deliberately and at a professional level, so more time goes into exactly that creative work.

Dimitri Selsky, portrait by a window

Hi, I’m Dimitri.

I’m a freelancer for video, design & web based in Berlin: I edit videos, design thumbnails, produce podcasts and build AI automations that take work off creators’ and businesses’ plates. For stand-up comedian Nikolai Binner I handle editing, thumbnails and YouTube SEO.

As the founder and organiser of a comedy show, I know how much air a punchline needs — and I edit accordingly.

I make the creative calls myself: editing, design, storytelling. I use AI tools, my own agents and scripts as professional tools. They take routine work off my plate, so more time goes into the craft.
