Is your main unit stretched thin? Our special unit takes the pressure off your video production: from 2nd-unit shoots and fictional in-film assets to marketing materials.
YOUR MAIN SHOOT IS BEING HELD BACK BY THE DETAILS.
A disproportionate amount of capacity is being drained by specialized tasks.
Many productions face the hurdle of an already extremely tight schedule. When complex peripheral tasks are squeezed into the main unit's schedule, it creates a massive bottleneck. We often see directors and core teams distracted by things that aren't part of the narrative focus. This starts with autonomous special scenes, elaborate insert shots, or B-roll sequences. High-quality establishing shots are also major time-wasters. These essential shots provide the audience with spatial orientation and set the look, but for the main crew, they represent a huge logistical effort that quickly overloads the schedule. It becomes even more resource-intensive when specific content is needed for the world within the film. Fictional TV shows on background monitors, custom-designed brands for props, or animated chat histories and UI designs that need to appear on screen later all demand enormous attention.
At the same time, pressure from the marketing department is growing. Evaluating a modern film production today requires countless accompanying formats. While your team on set is trying to manage an already ambitious workload, the PR department is demanding high-resolution stills or material for the Electronic Press Kit (EPK). Actors have downtime that could be perfectly utilized for in-universe content or cast hooks for social media – but the main crew simply lacks the capacity to shoot these takes in parallel. The result is a team pushed to its limits and a budget heavily burdened by the inefficiency of secondary tasks.
Challenges
Main unit overloaded by in-film assets and special scenes
Time-consuming coordination of establishing shots, B-roll, and drones
Lack of set capacity for parallel promo and social media shoots
High effort for post-production UI and title animation
SMART OUTSOURCING FOR YOUR PROJECT.
We provide autonomous shooting services, post-production, and promo assets.
To truly lighten the load on your set and give you, as a producer, clear strategic advantages, we outsource these tasks entirely as an independent special unit. You hand over responsibility for secondary shoots to us, and we take care of agile, outsourced project management. These specialized topics can be calculated as independent work packages and budget-optimized through workflows tailored specifically to each task. This gives you absolute planning security and allows you to get the most out of your budget. We shoot complex B-roll, action elements, and elaborate establishing shots completely autonomously – always, of course, according to your specifications and in close consultation with the director and DoP. We also conceive and produce all fictional in-film media. Whether it's a commercial playing on a TV in the film, brand design for props, or finished playbacks for smartphones on set – we bring the content ready to shoot. In post-production, we also design main titles, end credits, or integrate hand bubbles directly into the film image.
Furthermore, we solve your marketing problem right on set. While your main unit works with focus, we capture atmospheric behind-the-scenes content, conduct EPK interviews, and use breaks for interactive social media formats with the cast. We edit high-impact trailers for your video production, design animated motion posters, and create key art for media libraries in all required formats. Thanks to our web-film-proven structures, you receive all release assets in time for the launch, without your main production having to pause for even a second.

FAQ
How does your special unit integrate into our existing film production?
We integrate seamlessly into your workflow. In advance, we coordinate visual parameters like lighting and camera movement precisely with your director. On set, we operate so independently that the main shoot is never interrupted.
Which graphic elements and in-film assets can you handle?
We cover the entire range. This extends from designing fictional brands for props and preparing monitor playbacks to final post-production. In post, we animate title sequences and end credits, and integrate digital interfaces directly into the footage.
Is an outsourced unit worth it for social media and trailers?
Absolutely. The demand for media library assets, social media formats, and trailers has grown massively in recent years. We efficiently utilize downtime for the crew and cast on set to produce native content for TikTok, EPK interviews, or high-quality key art, without impacting your production schedule.
