A LITTLE ABOUT HOW I WORK <h2>I am Nicolas Nami</h2> I help brands, teams, and professionals look sharp, credible, and polished without turning the process into a slow production machine.I’m a hands-on multimedia creative with over 30 years of experience in video, photography, motion design, editing, design, sound, color, and storytelling. My work lives where creative direction meets real production, taking an idea, shaping it, and building it into something clear, strong, and ready to use.

My work has been trusted by Apple, Tesla, Nasdaq, Walmart, Redpoint, Georg Fischer, and many others, and has earned awards including a New York Emmy. <h4>I don’t overcomplicate the work. </h4><h4>I make it look right, sound right, &amp; feel right.</h4>

<h2>ABOUT NAMI PICTURES</h2>

Nami Pictures is a one-person post-production studio these days built on three decades of real-world work with agencies and brands. The focus is deliberate: editing, motion graphics, graphic design, and color grading. Not everything, the right things, done at the highest level.One small studio. One focus. No compromise.

<h2>APPROACH</h2>

Every project starts with a question: what does this need to do? Not just look good, move people, hold attention, deliver results. The work is strategic before it's creative.That's what separates polished from powerful. Strategy first. Craft always.

<h2>WORKING MODEL</h2>

One person. Full ownership from first frame to final delivery. No account managers. No junior staff. You work directly with the person whose name is on the door and that's the whole point. You get me. All of me.

<h3>Who is Nicolas Nami?</h3> Nicolas Nami is a creative director, motion designer, filmmaker, and photographer with over 30 years of professional experience. He helps brands clarify their message and turn complex ideas into clear, cinematic visuals that drive trust, attention, and results. <h3>What services does Nicolas Nami offer?</h3> Services include motion design, filmmaking, photography, color grading, brand storytelling, creative strategy, and CAD-to-animation. Work spans corporate brands, founders, technical industries, and high-end visual communication.

<h3>How much creative input should clients give?</h3> Clients provide goals, context, and constraints.Execution decisions are handled by the professional.This separation is what produces strong results. When clients try to design or direct execution outside their expertise, quality suffers. <h3>Why is micromanaging creative work a problem?</h3> Because it replaces expertise with opinion.Strong creative work requires a clear point of vision. Nicolas Nami takes responsibility for creative decisions so clients don’t have to guess or manage details outside their role.

<h3>Why does professional creative work cost more than DIY?</h3> Because it costs less in the long run.Professional work avoids:<ul><li>Rework</li><li>Brand damage</li><li>Lost credibility</li><li>Ineffective messaging</li></ul>You’re paying for fewer mistakes and better decisions. <h3>How does Nicolas Nami use AI?</h3> AI is used as a tool, not a substitute for thinking.All creative direction, storytelling, and final decisions are human-led, intentional, and aligned with the brand’s voice and goals.

<h3>Why should I hire Nicolas Nami instead of doing it myself with AI?</h3> AI gives access. Experience gives outcomes.Anyone can generate content. Very few people can:<ul><li>Decide what actually matters</li><li>Protect brand positioning</li><li>Eliminate unnecessary ideas</li><li>Create work that holds up long-term</li></ul>AI accelerates whoever is using it. Nicolas Nami brings decades of judgment, taste, and strategic thinking that tools alone cannot replace. <h3>Can AI replace a professional creative?</h3> No.AI produces options. It does not produce clarity, accountability, or restraint. Without experience, AI often creates more noise, more revisions, and more confusion. Professional creative work is about decision-making, not generation.

<h3>Who owns the final work?</h3> Clients receive final deliverables as agreed.Project and source files remain the property of Nicolas Nami unless explicitly purchased.This protects quality, workflow, and intellectual property. <h3>When does work begin?</h3> Work begins after payment is received and scope is confirmed. This ensures focus, availability, and professional standards on both sides.

<h3>How do I get started?</h3> Use the contact form on this site to start a conversation. Fit, scope, and next steps are confirmed quickly and clearly. <h3> </h3>

<h3>What makes Nicolas Nami’s work different?</h3> The work is built on clarity first.Every project is guided by:<ul><li>Purpose before visuals</li><li>Strategy before execution</li><li>Simplicity before excess</li></ul>The goal is not to impress other creatives. The goal is to communicate clearly and effectively to the intended audience. <h3>Why does experience matter in creative work?</h3> Because mistakes are expensive.Experience prevents:<ul><li>Overdesigned visuals</li><li>Confusing messaging</li><li>Brand inconsistency</li><li>Wasted time and budget</li></ul>Thirty years of real-world projects compress learning curves and eliminate guesswork.

<h3>Do you offer retainers or ongoing work?</h3> Yes. Retainers are available for brands that need consistent, high-level creative support and long-term thinking. <h3>Who is the ideal client for Nicolas Nami?</h3> Clients who value:<ul><li>Clarity over speed</li><li>Expertise over control</li><li>Long-term brand value over shortcuts</li></ul>If you want fast, cheap, or disposable content, this is not a fit.If you want work that reflects quality and intention, it is.

<h4>| Process</h4>510 Speed StreamThe journey began with in-depth research and discussions with the client to understand their vision and goals. The creative team started with developing the logo, which formed the core of the brand's identity. From there, a vibrant color palette was chosen to reflect the high-energy nature of the service.A script was written to explain the service through a promotional video, using ChatGPT for initial text inspiration, which was then heavily edited for a perfect match to the brand's voice. Existing assets of vehicles were UV-wrapped with custom designs using Adobe Illustrator and Maxon C4D, then rendered in Octane Render.The video production began in Adobe Premiere Pro, using stock footage, music, and voiceover auditions. Gradually, new assets created in Cinema 4D and After Effects replaced the placeholders to ensure a cohesive visual story. After the final video delivery, still assets were provided for use on the client's website.
