SCHMIDT-VFX is the work of a passionate filmmaker who started creating in a basement studio and built a full-service video production company. Today I specialize in high-impact commercials for broadcast and OTT platforms, along with a wide range of video content for clients across the country.
Every project is unique and deserves a tailored approach. I work closely with clients to understand their vision and goals, then bring the right mix of cinematography, editing, and storytelling to bring that vision to life.

Our latest music video for the talented award winning country music star Karen Waldrup was shot in Nashville and Hendersonville, TN in June 2026.
Waldrup's new song and video offer a message of hope and perseverance through the most difficult of times.
That message was inspired by Waldrup's own hard times, including a difficult divorce. ‘Keeping The Faith’ is about believing that good things are ahead, even when you can’t see them yet,” says Waldrup. “Creating this music video meant so much to me because it gave me a chance to tell this story in a very personal way. The process was honestly healing, and it reminded me of how important it is to keep moving forward, even during the hardest seasons. You may not always understand why things happen, but if you keep believing and trusting the journey, better days can be waiting right around the corner.”
