The Studio

ONDE was born from the meeting of a director who moves between the camera and generative tools, and an idea-builder who spent three decades making the complex understandable. One finds the frame. The other structures the wave. ONDE Studio is a video production and AI film studio founded in Québec City, Canada, by director-cinematographer Thomas Van Parys De Wit and producer Paul-Arnaud Salentey.

Director & Cinematographer

Thomas grew up in Brazil with a borrowed camera and a fixed idea: light tells the story before words do.

Trained in film in Belgium, he spent ten years on commercial and corporate-documentary sets before settling in Québec City.

He shoots where the work actually happens — a plant floor, a farm at sunset, a team in interview — and builds in synthesis what the camera cannot reach.

The standard is the same on both sides: a precise frame, light that sculpts, a rhythm that holds.

He works in Portuguese, French and English, from Québec to Brazil.

Producer & Story Architect

Paul-Arnaud — a builder of ideas, a narrative and visual designer.

For nearly three decades, my core mission has been to listen, to understand, and to guide people through their life and health journeys. As a healthcare administrator and a specialist in therapeutic education, I excelled at transforming complex medical concepts into human, accessible advice.

Then a new adventure took me across the Atlantic. While earning my master's in public administration at ÉNAP, I refined my art of structuring, project management, and strategic analysis. Whether creating the school's public-speaking competition from scratch or guiding the university community through the twists and turns of academic paths, I remain the same: organising chaos, shaping compelling narratives, and structuring concepts so they hit their mark.

Today, I put my talent and my ideas at the service of narrative and visual creation.

As a story architect, I take a raw intention or a complex industrial, recruitment, or educational programme and cut it into a fluid, engaging, structured script. I also play the role of translator, adapting key messages to strike at the heart of the target audience — whether that means sparking curiosity, holding attention, or inspiring. Finally, I also ensure the logistical coordination and rigorous follow-through of every project, respecting its framework and objectives.

My compass is the conviction that a narrative and visual project is fully achieved when the rigour of structure fades behind the magic of the story told.
