Create Content That Gets Noticed.

I'm Raphael Trastoy, a New Jersey based videographer and content creator specializing in cinematic, high-impact visuals that help brands stand out.

From gyms and restaurants to photography studios, retail shops, and local businesses, I produce content designed to capture attention, tell compelling stories, and drive engagement. Whether you need promotional videos, social media content, or event coverage, I handle every stage of production; from filming and editing to sound design and motion graphics.

With over five years of experience in video production and a bachelor's degree in Communication from William Paterson University, I combine creative storytelling with professional execution to deliver content that looks polished and performs.

My experience includes working with businesses across multiple industries, co-founding my own media production group Eyes of The Garden, and contributing professionally at Panetta Studios, where I edited audio for films, commercials, and radio productions.

Every project is built with one goal in mind: creating content that represents your brand at its best and leaves a lasting impression.

Let's create something people won't forget.

Sincerely,

Raphael Trastoy

Cinematic Storytelling

“Cinematic” is a word that's thrown around constantly in video, but what does it actually mean? To me, it means using the visual language as a guise to show a narrative from beginning to end while encompassing a story arc full of intention, emotion, and purpose. It is much more than spectacular visuals with no motive. That is what I bring to the table.

More Than Advertising.

I want to share real, authentic stories. Every time I create a video or graphic for a company, my goal is to bring the audience into their world. I want people to feel comfortable, connected, and familiar with the brand from the moment they see the post.
