Hannes Schäffer

I’m a filmmaker, videographer, and licensed drone operator creating visual stories rooted in people, place, and atmosphere.

My work spans weddings, business reels, documentaries, interviews, and on-location camera and drone operation. I focus on steady, intentional imagery using gimbals and aerial systems to create visuals that feel natural, immersive, and honest.

Most recently, I released The Man Who Stayed, a short documentary about Lloyd Hammons, who has lived alone in the Oregon woods for the past 25 years. The film offers a quiet portrait of solitude, loss, and a deep connection to nature.

I also provide full post-production services, including editing, color grading, and sound cleanup, shaping raw footage into clear and compelling narratives.

Past work includes documentary projects, event films, and client work in both the U.S. and Germany.
