Lighting design
Studio and location plots for stills and motion. Repeatable light is the product. Lucky hour is a bonus, not a plan.
Plots, grip, and modifiers are designed per frame. The goal is repeatable light, not a lucky hour.
Services
Stills, film and finishing from one studio in Leipzig.
Creative direction
Treatments, boards, casting notes, and on-set direction. We protect the idea when the day gets short, which it will.
We sit with strategy early: references, casting, and a shot list that protects the idea when the day gets short.
Commercial photography
Campaign stills, product, and portraiture with controlled light. We tether, we plot, and we deliver files that survive print and crop. Retouch is finishing against a grade, not a rescue of underexposure.
We plan lighting, art direction, and capture so stills hold up in print, OOH, and digital. Tethered review on set keeps stakeholders aligned before wrap.
Video filming
Treatments through principal photography. Coverage is shot for the edit and the grade: protected highlights, matched cameras, and sound that is not an afterthought.
Crew, cameras, and locations are scaled to the story. We shoot for the grade: consistent exposure, protected highlights, and usable coverage.
Motion graphics
Type, diagrams, product callouts, and brand systems built to re-version. We do not deliver a single After Effects file that only the author understands.
We design motion that can be re-versioned. Lower thirds, openers, and product callouts follow a system, not one-off animations.
Color grading
Show LUTs, shot matching, HDR and SDR masters. Stills can live in the same timeline. The brand palette is a decision, not a filter pack.
Grading is treated as design, not a filter. We match cameras, hold skin, and deliver HDR or SDR masters as the media plan requires.
