Seven steps to your successful B2B film

Using the proven Creative Effectiveness method, we get all stakeholders on board and define the jumping-off point for idea development. We analyze the target group(s), our products and services, the status quo of our brand and the differentiation from the competition.

Teamwork: Get everyone on board!

We define the jumping-off point for idea generation: In doing so, we place only one, jointly agreed, statement in the pole position of our messages, for the methodical process of further idea development.

Idea/Film development

The treatment visualizes the idea and describes the planned content and leads through the thread of the story. It is developed on the basis of the main idea and is the working basis for the development of the storyboard and the further production.

Treatment presentation

After approval of the treatment, the storyboard is worked out in detail. Now the entire planning of all scenes, locations, production days and participants takes place, as well as the project management in terms of logistics, filming permits and production budget.

Preproduction

05

Every shooting day is a great challenge in terms of communication, creativity, logistics, as well as psychological empathy. Our crew members work for German and Austrian TV stations on a daily basis.

Production

06

Editing versions are created and continuously optimized in coordination with the stakeholders. At the same time, the film music is developed in close cooperation with the editor until the final version is ready. This is followed by color grading and mixing with the film music and sound design.

  • What is meant by B2B film production?
    B2B film production refers to the creation of audiovisual content specifically for business customers and B2B industry leaders to effectively communicate brand messages, reduce distribution costs and support strategic business goals.

This is how the process of falling in love works, which can be used specifically for storytelling.
