Mixing Pixels, Making Stories.
Fragments into narrative.
I’m Gary Berendsen, a visual artist and creative technologist based in the centre of Amsterdam.
I like taking raw footage, design fragments, old assets, and happy accidents and turning it into something that tells a clearer story.
These days I’m mostly in the Adobe ecosystem (especially After Effects), and I’m focused on prompt work: using AI as a thinking tool, a sketchbook, and sometimes a fast route from vague idea to a working prototype. I’m interested in modular setups and workflows that scale without killing the craft.
I love making food for people. It makes me happy seeing them enjoy something I made that fills their stomachs, not just their eyes. I also muck about in various bits of audio software with bleeps and bloops that might become an actual composition one day.
I enjoy working with others, and I like learning new things, especially finding out there’s more than one way to get a story across. Whatever my role, creative or technical, I’ve always felt personally involved in every project I’ve worked on.
I studied Audio Engineering and Audio Production at SAE in Auckland, New Zealand.
TLDR: Gary has created a broad range of visual content, did it a lot. Likes cooking.
