1. Short Film Productions
What does a professional short film production include?
A short film production covers the complete creative and technical execution of a film project – from idea development and scriptwriting, through character work, directing, and cinematography, to post-production. Special emphasis is placed on visual storytelling, strong character portrayal, and cinematic aesthetics.
How long does a short film production take?
The duration depends on the scope, length, and budget. Typically, a short film of about 15 minutes takes between 8 and 10 weeks, including pre-production, shooting, and editing phases.
Who is short film production suitable for?
Short films are ideal for actors, filmmakers, companies, and creatives who want to professionally realize their film idea or expand their showreel scenes.
2. Showreel Productions
What is a Showreel Production?
A showreel production is designed to showcase actors, voice artists, or filmmakers in the best possible light. Individually tailored scenes are created to highlight the person’s personality, expressiveness, and range.
How does a Showreel Production differ from a Short Film?
A showreel consists of film scenes that demonstrate the versatility of different characters and roles. A short film, on the other hand, follows a single character through various situations and encounters with different scene partners, unfolding a self-contained story.
How does a Showreel Production work?
From scene concept to scriptwriting, role preparation, on-set coaching, and film editing – everything is customized to the individual performer.
➤ Tip: Professional coaching on set can significantly enhance expression and authenticity.
3. Custom Film Projects
What are custom film projects?
Custom film projects are tailor-made productions designed for a specific theme, goal, or audience – such as feature films, corporate videos, art projects, or short dramatic clips.
What are the benefits of custom film projects?
They offer creative freedom, flexible execution, and an authentic cinematic signature that sets them apart from standard productions.
4. On-Set Coaching
What does on-set coaching mean?
On-set coaching helps actors and speakers optimize their performance in front of the camera. This includes body work, presence, timing, and expression.
Who benefits from on-set coaching?
Both beginners and experienced professionals. Targeted feedback during filming helps create a natural, convincing performance.
➤ Combined with showreel productions, on-set coaching maximizes impact.
