About Flamingo Moments

Hi there!

I’m Chris, a mechanical engineer by trade and a memory-maker at heart. Flamingo Moments was born around my beloved mascot, Slappie—the little inflatable flamingo. He isn’t just décor; he’s a symbol of every fun, spontaneous moment we cherish. And Slappie witnesses all of these moments through his cameralens-like eye!I started Flamingo Moments because I realized that every minute, people all over the world are snapping selfies, shooting sunsets and capturing epic festival scenes—and then, most of those clips never see the light of day. They stay forgotten on phones and memory cards. That just didn’t sit right with me.

Slappie in the sea

It's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment... It lasts forever.

~ Richard, from the movie "The Beach" ~

Slappie in the sea

Capture and relive

One sunny afternoon, I was lounging by a pool with my trusty sidekick Slappie. Watching the sun glint off his plastic beak, I thought: “Why not bring these moments to life in a way that makes people smile every time they press play?”So here we are. At Flamingo Moments, I take your raw travel or event footage—whether it’s shaky GoPro clips, drone sweeps, or that awkward family dance shot with a cracky phone camera—and transform it into a cinematic aftermovie you’ll actually want to watch (and share!). My mission is simple: help you relive your favorite moments in all their color, emotion and spontaneous glory.

Why I do it

  • Memories matter. Those goofy beach bloopers, the epic group hug at sunset—these aren’t just files, they’re feelings.

  • Life moves fast. Let me handle the editing so you can focus on making new memories.

  • Every story deserves to be told. Yours is unique, and I’ll craft it with wit, warmth and a splash of Slappie-style flair.

Capture emotion

  • Music is key! I use songs that instantly trigger the same emotions you felt in that moment, whether it’s the beat that had everyone dancing or the mellow tune you hummed at sunset.

  • Embrace shitty footage. Those grainy WhatsApp videos from friends? They’re gold for authenticity. I weave them in to capture the real, unpolished energy of your adventures.

  • Wait for the drop. I align the track’s rising and falling beats with your actual timeline, so when the chorus hits, you’re back at the peak of your adventure

Tips & Tricks

To make you a professional amateur shooter! Try to think of these tips on your holiday or event to give us the best material to work with.

  • Create a story: Have a little story in mind. Capture people, the main actions and attractions. But also your surroundings and little details. And capture not only the destination but also the bus trip or the walk through the dirt. You know what they say: "It's not the destination, it's the journey!"

  • Aspect ratio: Determine whether you want your final video to be landscape or portrait, and shoot your footage accordingly. Despite all trends, we prefer landscape!
    Oh yeah, and take your pictures in 4:3 ratio to use the most of your sensor.

  • Camera settings: Make sure you shoot in at least 1080p and 30fps, preferably 60fps. Also make sure your device uses video and photo formats compatible with editing software. So please avoid HEVC / H.265 videos or HEIC photos for now!

  • Duration: Try to start the video 2 seconds before the action, and only end it 2 seconds after the action. You might regret stopping to early.

  • Enjoy the moment: Last but not least, have fun! Not everything has to be on camera, Despite previous tip, 5 seconds often is more than enough.

Some nice examples coming soon too!

South East Asia Aftermovie

The four-month backpacking trip of Chris, Lars and Simon

How do you put almost four months of traveling to the most beautiful and amazing places in the world together in a short aftermovie? Well... You don't. That's why this one turned out to be half a movie-length one.I watch my masterpiece (until now) once in a while, and I sent it to all people I met during my trip with the time mark when they appeared. Their loving reactions made me emotional and gave me the motivation to actually continue with Flamingo Moments. This trip through South East Asia made me think a lot about what to do with my life. Conclusion: I want everyone to be able to relive their memorable moments with as much joy as I do—in their good times, and their bad times.

You can only feel true highs when you have been in real lows

I am insanely grateful that I have been able to travel to Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam for four months. It is an opportunity that not many people around the world have. I feel very priviliged that I have been born and raised in a western country, where young people have all the options open. We can travel the world, make a little use of the fact that life is so cheap in other places. I hope that everyone traveling somewhere is aware of this privilege, and appreciates the amazing hospitality of locals. And above all, appreciate all those beautifully diverse people, cultures, landscapes, ecosystems, and wildlife around our world!

Zandermovie

In loving memory of one of my dear best friends, Zander Cleassens

This one is for one of my best friends, Zander Cleassens, born on the 12th of August 1999, and who sadly lost his life at the young age of 23 on the 30th of October 2022.After a round over the fair and an amazing night out in our hometown Breda, we all left home. The morning after we got the news that Zander was hit by a taxivan. A few hours later, at 11:12, he lost his life.That life is precious is sometimes learned the hard way. It made me realize it can be gone in an instant. That's why I want to enjoy every moment of it.
Proost op het leven.

Music credits

Zander was a big fan of Ed Sheeran, and with his red hair he even looked a bit like him. A few weeks before Zander's death, Ed Sheeran released the song Celestial. In our groupchat, Zander mentioned it would be a great song for one of our aftermovies. Little did I know that it would be the song that I would use for the aftermovie of his life: the Zandermovie. It would be the last song of his favorite artist Zander would ever listen to.The first song Ed released after Zander's death was Eyes Closed, about the death of Ed's best friend. I would like to thank Ed for getting us through these hard times together with you, and keeping the memory of our friend alive every time we hear one of your songs.
