It’s both that got us addicted to the moving images. We are happy to share some of our work.

creativity

An idea is born

Copywriting


We develop concepts and transform them into scripts. Every brand, every social film and event needs an individual approach.

Standing out is what we want from our films for our clients.
Sometimes with a loud voice, sometimes with a whisper.

How would we do that?

The treatment


A treatment needs to be carefully crafted. This is where the idea come to life.
We think a treatment needs to be very visual and let the viewer understand the film, even without reading every last line. Only then he is motivated to understand the approach in depth.
The treatment is like the final film: it needs to keep the attention high.

    Video art

    Non static ways to get to peoples hearts


    Video art is an art form which relies on moving pictures in a visual and audio medium. Video art came into existence during the late 1960s and early 1970s as new consumer video technology became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast; installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as video tapes, or DVDs; and performances which may incorporate one or more television sets, video monitors, and projections, displaying ‘live’ or recorded images and sounds
