Video Production Company in Germany

What working with a German production partner actually looks like

Most international clients arrive with the same three concerns: language, distance and control. Here is how each of them is handled in practice, so you know what you are buying before the first call.

Language. Briefings, treatments, scripts, on-set direction and review rounds all run in fluent English. Nothing is written in German first and translated afterwards, which is where meaning usually gets lost. If your legal or compliance team needs the final script in German as well, that is a deliverable, not a workaround.

Distance. You do not have to be on set. A remote client review is a normal part of our workflow: you see the setup before the shoot, you get a live feed or dailies during it, and you approve cuts through a browser link with time-coded comments. Clients who do want to attend get one contact person for the entire trip.

Control. One company handles concept, shoot and post. There is no agency in front of a production house in front of a freelance editor, so there is no chain of handovers where your feedback gets diluted. The same team that takes your briefing signs off the final grade, which is also how our creative film production process is set up.

Where we shoot from, and what that means for your schedule

We are based in Erlangen, in the Nuremberg metropolitan region. That is not a marketing detail, it is a logistics advantage. Nuremberg sits close to the geographic centre of Germany: Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart are all within roughly two to three hours by road or ICE, and Nuremberg Airport connects to the European hubs directly.

For a multi-site shoot this changes the maths. A crew that travels out and back the same day does not bill hotel nights, and a two-location day stops being a two-day job. If your German subsidiaries or plants are spread across the south, we are already in the middle of them.

We also shoot outside Germany. Productions in Austria, Switzerland and the wider EU run with the same core team, extended locally where it makes sense.

The kind of work we take on

Corporate and brand films for websites, trade fairs and sales, usually two to three minutes, built to survive being watched with the sound off. This is the bulk of our corporate video production work.

Product and technology films, often for engineering and medical technology clients. Precision matters here: if a technical process is shown incorrectly, a specialist audience notices in seconds and stops trusting the rest.

Recruiting and employer branding films. Candidates research a company before they apply. Employees speaking in their own words carry more weight than any job advert.

Event, live and streamed formats, including town halls, product launches and hybrid conferences, where there is no second take.

Testimonials and interview series, shot as a batch so one production day yields months of content.

Our clients are international corporations and their German subsidiaries, largely in industrial engineering, electronics and medical technology, alongside mid-sized manufacturers with export markets.

Production services in Germany for agencies and production companies

Not every enquiry from abroad comes from a brand. Often it is an agency or a production company in London, Vienna, Zurich or New York that has won a project with a German shoot and needs a partner on the ground. For these projects we work as a production service company in Germany: you keep the creative lead and the client relationship, we deliver the production here.

Pre-production. Local crew, casting, locations and filming permits, planned around your shoot dates.

Shoot. An English-speaking crew for camera, light and sound, working with your director or with ours. If concept and direction come from your side, you can book the crew on its own.

Studio days. Our own LED stage for scenes that would otherwise need a second location or a travel day.

Post-production. Edit, grade, sound and language versions, or a clean handover of footage and project files to your post house.

Because we are based in the Nuremberg metropolitan region, a shoot at a plant in Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg does not start with a travel day. For productions elsewhere in Germany, in Austria or in Switzerland, the same core team travels.

If you need full service production in Germany, from treatment to final delivery, it is the same team and the same contact person. If you only need the German part of an international production, we quote only that part.

If your client should only see one name, that works too. We produce white label for agencies and production companies, under your project name on set and in the credits.

Our own LED virtual production studio

We operate our own LED wall with camera tracking. For an international client the practical benefit is simple: environments that would otherwise mean a location scout, a travel day and a weather risk are built in camera, on a single studio day.

Light, time of day and background stay identical across every take, which matters when a series of films has to look like one series a year apart. The technical detail is on our virtual production studio in Germany page.
