What the service covers

What a brand film does for you

The standard brand film in 2026 is usually a 90-second cutting salad: drone shot of the company building, slow-mo hands at work, smiling employees walking through office doors, an epic string soundtrack, logo with a pay-off at the end. These films look like 80% of all other brand films — and are therefore effectively invisible. They show a lot, communicate little, often cost €25,000 and stop being shown after three months.

I produce brand films that start with an idea — not with a shot list. That means: concept first (which story are we telling, which question are we answering), then finding the style (what fits the brand, what sets us apart from the drone-slow-mo school), then production (concept, shoot, edit, sound design). Embedded in a content strategy rather than standing alone — otherwise the film only lives for three months.

Your brand film isn't interchangeable. It tells something only your brand can tell. And it doesn't just work once at launch — it keeps being used in sales conversations, at trade fairs, in HR communication and in social cuts — for years.

Process

How I approach brand films

  1. Concept

    Which story is the right one for the brand? What does the audience already know, what don't they, what do they take away? A clear concept before the script before the shot list.

  2. Visual style

    Which aesthetic fits the brand and sets it apart from the industry standard? Mood boards, style references, test shots — before the crew is booked.

  3. Production

    Shoot, sound, edit, color grading, motion graphics — all with an eye on the concept. No „let's bring a drone along just in case" shots.

  4. Usage

    A master film plus cuts for different applications (LinkedIn, sales, trade fair, web). From day one the film is planned to be usable for three years.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do we really need a brand film?

Only if you have a story that can't be told without one. If the brand film is just going to list what's already on your website, skip it. A good brand film shows the how of your work — atmosphere, character, people — and that doesn't translate into text. If that's not the case, the money is better spent on a product video or an explainer.
