CREATING YOUR FILM IN 4 STEPS:
- Concept
- Production
- Postproduction
- Delivery
You wish to present your company, your initiative or your idea in a film or media project?
In close collaboration with you we draft an initial, yet detailed concept, that will enable you to envisage the finished product as effectively as possible.
The shooting schedule is ready and the film locations have been cleared? We load the camera van with our equipment, rig the camera to the car, take air shots with a drone or let the spectators glide over the scene with a crane from above, just as you wish. The recordings will be made on site or in a rented studio.
Your film will be edited, mixed and color-corrected. Are there perhaps also inserts or graphics to be animated? You are invited to follow the progress step by step and to request changes at any time. Our job is not done until we are sure that you, the customer, is completely satisfied.
Your film will be made available in any format desired, as 4K version or in any other resolution standard suitable for YouTube, Vimeo or your company´s home page. However, we also provide high quality duplication and pressing of DVDs in larger quantities in collaboration with our experienced and long-standing pressing plant.
