Jesse Media.

A Calgary cinematographer whose work makes its case once someone presses play. We built the site so the films come first, the filmmaker second and a project enquiry is always one step away.

Work that has to be watched.

Jesse Rostotski shoots brand and commercial films, athletes, weddings, architecture and editorial portraits from Calgary.

The brief was a site that shows the films, explains the work he takes on and gives a client a clear way to ask about a shoot.

Put the films first and keep the viewer on the page.

One viewing frame.

Selected work runs as a numbered list beside a single frame. Visitors move from film to film without leaving the page, and the REC slate and the timecode keep the camera's language in every detail.

A 3D opening on the scroll.

A scroll-controlled WebGL camera opens the site and carries the visitor into the films. Selected work and the reel come before the services and the profile, so a visitor sees what Jesse makes before reading what he offers.

A brief from the first message.

The form takes a project type, from brand work to weddings to spaces, and asks what's being made, where and when. The first reply can be about the shoot.

One page, from the opening to the enquiry.

jessemedia.ca is plain HTML built with Astro and served by Netlify, with the films played from files hosted with the site. One page carries the 3D opening, the films, the reel, the services, the profile and the form.

This page reports no traffic or enquiry figures. Facts about Jesse's work are his own. Building for another filmmaker works the same way, and the videographer website design page has the details.
