What a brand film production includes
Every production starts with the question of what the film should achieve: new customers, better job applications, trust with partners. From that comes the concept — core message, narrative thread, shot list and interview questions. Only then do we shoot.
On the shoot day I deliberately work lean: professional equipment, but no film crew paralysing your operation. Real employees instead of extras, real workflows instead of staged scenes. That's exactly what makes a brand film credible — your customers notice the difference immediately.
Post-production covers edit, colour grade, sound design and music licensing. You receive the film in 4K for your website, plus short versions for social media, LinkedIn and trade fairs on request — so one shoot day feeds several channels.
The process: four steps to the finished film
First, the discovery call: we clarify goal, audience and budget — honestly and without jargon. Second, concept and planning: within two to five days the storyline, locations and shooting schedule are locked. Third, production: usually one to two shoot days at your company. Fourth, post-production: three to six weeks for edit, colour and sound, including a revision round where your feedback is worked in.
Throughout the whole project you have a single point of contact — me. No agency layers, no handover losses, no surprises in the quote.
Brand films for companies in Schwerin and MV
Between Hamburg and Rostock there are plenty of strong companies — and surprisingly few telling their story in moving images. That's exactly your opportunity: a professional brand film sets you apart in your region immediately, whether on your website, on Google or at trade fairs.
As a videographer based in Schwerin I'm with you fast — no travel surcharges from Berlin or Hamburg. I know the region, its businesses and its people. References like Pommesfreunde (Munich) and Engagement Global show at the same time: the quality holds up to any national comparison.
Common questions about brand films
How much does a brand film in Schwerin cost?
The price depends on concept work, number of shoot days and scope of post-production. A compact brand film with one shoot day starts, as orientation, in the low to mid four-figure range; more elaborate productions with several shoot days, drone footage and voice-over sit above that. After the first call you'll receive a fixed-price quote with clearly itemised positions.
How long does producing a brand film take?
From first call to delivery, plan for four to eight weeks: two to five days for concept and planning, one to two shoot days, then three to six weeks of post-production including your revision round.
How long should a brand film be?
For the website, 60 to 120 seconds has proven ideal — long enough for a real story, short enough that nobody drops off. On request I also deliver 15- to 30-second cuts for social media and ads.
Do our employees have to appear on camera?
It helps — real faces build trust. But nobody needs to be an actor: I work documentary-style, following real work situations and conducting interviews so they feel like a conversation. The nerves are usually gone after five minutes.
Do we get the usage rights to the film?
Yes. You receive comprehensive usage rights for website, social media, trade fairs and internal purposes — permanently and without follow-up costs. The details are stated transparently in the quote.
