Basil Oberli (*1991)
Cameraman, focus puller, live operator. I studied at the HSLU in Lucerne with a specialization in cinematography, did a year at ÉCAL, and co-founded Neon Ray Films in 2017.
For the past several years I’ve been working freelance across the Swiss film and TV industry, on sets across German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Over the years I’ve built up a solid network and a reputation I’m proud of.
Director of Photography
Agencies and free work
As a DoP I work with agencies and on my own projects. Composition and light are where I spend most of my thinking – not as an aesthetic exercise, but because that’s what separates footage that holds attention from footage that doesn’t. I want the images to carry the story, not just illustrate it.
Tv & News
SRF | RTS | RSI | Tele Züri
Freelance cameraman for SRG and CH-Media. I cover news and politics – mostly Switzerland, sometimes wherever the story goes. London for a Banksy, Zurich for the Street Parade, Bern for whatever the Bundesrat is up to. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that the interesting shot is rarely the obvious one.
Live Camera
Industry Productions
I like the pressure of live. There’s something clarifying about a situation where you either get the shot or you don’t. I’ve covered sports, corporate events, and broadcast productions – fast setups, no second chances, and a feed that’s going out whether you’re ready or not.
