On this page you can find out how we usually work together to produce image films and advertising videos.
The costs for image films, advertising films, event videos etc. usually vary greatly. There are film productions that offer packages at fixed prices. However, since every customer is unique and every project presents different challenges, it is not possible to meet individual needs with such package offers.
Drehstrom film production conceives, calculates and plans each project individually, tailor-made and transparently for the customer and the respective requirements.

Usually the following 10 steps need to be taken to produce a commissioned film production:
1. Request and Briefing:
If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail or telephone and explain your need of video content or animated films, image films, advertising clips, etc. I am also happy to meet you for a personal interview to get a comprehensive picture of your wishes and needs.
2. Calculation and Quotation:
Based on your briefing, I will create a detailed calculation and a quotation so you can understand how the costs are composed. You can also compare my offer better with other offers.
3. Order placement:
If you agree with the offer, you authorize me to produce your film. Depending on the complexity and size of the project, an order production contract is concluded, which regulates exactly rights transfers, deadlines, partial payments, etc.
4. Conceptual work and script development:
Then a concept or sceenplay is developed or a storyboard is designed for the film project.
5. Approval to the final screenplay:
The different versions of the script, concept or storyboard will be presented to you on agreed dates. If agreed, one or more revisions may be made after your feedback. If you have approved the script, the production of the film may begin.
6. Pre-production:
In this phase, locations are scouted, actors get cast, the shooting is going to be planned and additional employees for the film production are going to be hired.
7. Production:
The film is perfectly prepared and planned, everyone is informed and ready to go: the shooting takes place. Now all necessary recordings are made for the finished movie. Filming can take only a few hours (for example, for an event video), or several days or even weeks, depending on the length of the film.
When we produce an animation film without any live action footage, all the graphic elements are now designed in detail and then animated and assembled.
8. Post-production:
The shot material gets ordered and edited. Music and additional narration texts and sounds are recorded, further animations, text embellishments are created. Picture and sound elements are compiled, colors get graded, the audio tracks get mixed. As a client, you will be involved in all steps and can incorporate your feedback and your ideas.
9. Approval of the final cut:
When all the cuts, audio tracks, colors and texts are perfectly matched and you are satisfied with the result, you approve the final edited film.
10. Completion:
The final version of the movie will be rendered and made available to you for publication (usually via a download link or on a disk of your choice). The project data and video files will be archived if changes to the movie are desired in the future. Now you can present your film to the public and bring amazement and enthusiasm to your customers.
