"A match, that is being lit, devours itself. If the child, to see what happens, strokes the red head for no particular reason, it loves the motion, the colors, the glow of the light, the head of the little stick, its hissing."
Quotation: Jean François Lyotard
Our focal point is the moving image. Guideline: visual thinking instead of mere product staging and illustration; beauty beats blunt functionalism. In context of our client's task we aim at generating the distinctive surplus value of the image, going beyond simple plot and narration. An associative and ambivalent image strategy, tapping and triggering the cultural memory of the viewer, eventually increases the credibility of products and brands far more effective. It deals with the fascination of watching, the excitement of pictures.
The main tasks of our work are being performed with a small, well-established team and our in-house production and post-production facilities for film and music, from 35mm to HDTV and DV. Our formats comprise image film, commercial, documentary, broadcast design, trade fair movies, IPTV, print and online design.
