Robin Schmidt Director, Editor & Motion Graphic Designer

Profile Robin is exceptionally skilled in several fields; shooting, directing, writing, editing, performing and motion graphic design. Before joining Blueberry in 2008, he ran his own production company - Chrome productions for 8 years and during this time produced, directed and edited for music videos, commercials, TV programmes and extreme sports films.

Once he'd made the leap to freelancing, Robin was able to expand on living his potential and persuing his own creative projects mixed with commercials and brand films. In 2014 he won the Bahamas 14 Islands film competition and was named ‘One to Watch’ by Moviescope magazine. Following this was taken on by Canon as a pro ‘envoy’ for a year and became one of their leading DSLR bloggers, experimenting and pushing the boundaries with new kit, and sharing tips and tricks along the way. This led him to winning a year-long contract designing and implementing a content marketing strategy for a luxury resort brand in Mauritius.

Making original and seriously creative content for commercials, Robin is paving his way into directing features and has written and directed two award winning films to date; Afterdeath (2015), Dog (2014).
