FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
As our teachers always used to say:
"There are no stupid questions."
How much does a professional video production cost?
The cost of a video production depends on the scope, team size, equipment, and post-production requirements. For event and festival productions, we typically work with clearly defined packages or individual quotes tailored precisely to the project. This keeps the budget transparent and predictable.
What is the process for a video production with your agency?
A video production consists of three phases: pre-production (concept, planning, workflow), production (on-site filming with multiple cameras, drones, and a mobile setup), and post-production (editing, sound design, color grading). We coordinate closely with you throughout the entire process.
Which video formats do you produce for social media?
We produce social media-optimized videos in both vertical and horizontal formats, including Reels, TikToks, highlight clips, teasers, photos, and story formats. All content is optimized for reach, engagement, and platform algorithms, ready for immediate publication.
How quickly are videos available after the event?
Depending on the project, we deliver initial highlight clips during or immediately after the event. The final aftermovie usually follows within a few days to weeks, depending on the scope of the project. Thanks to mobile on-site editing, we can provide content for social media very quickly.
Which companies and events benefit from video content?
In short: for EVERYONE. Companies that haven't realized how important social media content is today will struggle in the future to sell their brand or festival, attract new potential applicants, or remain visible in the industry.
Can the videos be used for advertising and social media?
Yes. Our videos are produced to be versatile – for social media, websites, advertisements, and presentations. Usage rights are clearly defined in our quotes, so you can use the content flexibly.
Why should I hire a video production agency?
A professional agency brings experience, technology, creative concepts, and efficient workflows to the table. This results in high-quality videos that not only look good but also work strategically – for greater visibility, trust, and sustainable brand building.
Do you also produce content specifically for events?
Yes, event content is one of our core specialties. This includes aftermovies, social clips, artist portraits, livestreams, highlight reels, and TikToks that reach millions. We are event experts and know how to authentically capture atmosphere, energy, and emotion.
