About Me
The story behind the camera.
Hey, I'm Oleg
I'm a Ukrainian-born filmmaker and YouTuber based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I started Video Hook LLC in 2018 with one camera and a lot of ambition. Today I run a video production company, create content for my YouTube channel with 24,000+ subscribers, and build AI-powered workflows that help creators work smarter.
My channel covers the tech that makes work simpler for creators and people like me: cameras, lenses, iPhone filmmaking, DaVinci Resolve, and the automations and AI workflows I actually use. I test gear from a lot of different brands and keep what works, and I do not take payment from a company to review its product.
When I'm not filming or editing, I'm experimenting with n8n automations, testing new camera gear, or hanging out with my 2 cats.
