KATESPIRITU – I create, design, and shoot things.

HELLO, I’M KAT.

I CREATE, DESIGN, AND SHOOT THINGS.

ABOUT KAT

I’m a video producer/director based in Toronto, ON. I graduated from Ryerson University’s film program and have since worked on a broad spectrum of projects in all sorts of positions: from the production assistant that does Starbucks runs to the videographer shooting footage while riding a camel’s back on the Sahara Desert. I’ve worked at post-production houses, ad agencies, in abandoned buildings, and on a boat in the middle of the South China Sea.

I am a self-proclaimed design aficionado who appreciates symmetry and typography. I taught myself how to code at 12 after being frustrated by the limitations of Geocities… though truthfully I just wanted to customize my Neopets webpage.

I am a meticulous worker, a great team player (performs best in the leader position), and horribly near-sighted.

I also shoot and edit for an all-female travel show crew, MISSADVENTURES.

MY WORK

THINGS I CAN DO

VIDEO PRODUCTION

Full-service video production, from one-woman shoots to a roster of award-winning cinematographers, audio recorders, and crew. No matter the budget, I can make sure your project is produced.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I specialize in travel photography, behind-the-scenes production stills, and event photography. I shoot on digital, but I can work a film camera like your grandpa.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Being a Millennial, social media competence is basically an inherent trait. I’ll set you up with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and all those other Pinteresting things kids these days are on.

MOTION GRAPHICS

Designing and animating custom motion graphics on Adobe After Effects. Everything from kinetic typography to logo bumpers to pre-made templates! Whatever your video needs to make it have that extra ‘pop’.

WEB DESIGN

I know HTML & CSS, but work predominantly with WordPress and well-known site builders like Wix and Squarespace. I’ll make sure your site looks like it’s from 2016 not 1996.

TRAVEL BLOGGING

Need a writer/videographer to review your beautiful country? You’re in luck because I’m currently accepting invites for international press trips!

VIDEO EDITING

I use Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut 7, or Avid Media Composer to cut any video project. I edit web ads, family videos, corporate videos, or episodes of those real estate shows you see on HGTV.

PRINT DESIGN

Business cards, letterheads, flyers, and more. I literally grew up on a printing press, so I’d say I’m pretty apt in making sure the right file type gets to the printers.

TRAVEL FRIEND

Looking for a fun, travel-savvy acquaintance? Did a friend bail last minute on a trip and now you have a spare plane ticket? Say the word and I’ll meet you at the airport.

WHO I’VE WORKED WITH

I’ve worked for agencies, corporate clients, production companies, and with independent filmmakers. My work ranges from internal company videos to YouTube videos to broadcast.
