Shaping the Future of Short Video Ads

We collaborated with Meta Platforms and Miami Ad School Europe to start a film lab, blending student creativity with our film expertise. Our mission was to craft ultra-short videos that redefine advertiser engagement. Concentrating on FC St. Pauli, a Hamburg football club, we produced three distinct 4-6 second videos. This effort proved that short, visually driven narratives can resonate with younger viewers and boost brand awareness.

Architects of The Future

Moon to Mars agency has requested that we create two films for Designworks, a BMW design studio. The project aims to showcase BMW's foresight in mobility innovation while highlighting the future of design, autonomous driving, connectivity, and electrification from a global perspective. We filmed this project in Los Angeles, Munich, and Shanghai, and it was featured at BMW's NEXTGEN event. The main goal of this project is to initiate a conversation on the ever-evolving landscape of mobility.

Dare. Explore. Repeat

Building on work, we were tasked with creating a second film for Designworks that highlights its innovative spirit and multicultural approach. We aimed to showcase its global impact and strong association with the BMW brand by combining American actress Kristen Bush's voiceover with evocative visuals.

Sport Has the Power to Change Lives

We worked with Adidas to create a short documentary about Wassim Benslimane, a French soccer freestyler of Algerian roots, better known as Wass. The film takes us on his journey through France and Algeria, where we witness his struggles and the transformative impact of sports. Our documentary received a nomination for Best Short Documentary at the 2016 Urban Films Festival.

Sound Tunes Museum

The video is a key piece made for glo "Sound Synthese" social media campaign, where ILIRA & VIZE transform everyday sounds into a musical track. It features a stylized narrative captured in a single, continuous shot at one location, illustrating the campaign's diverse elements.

Celebrating Craftsmanship

We collaborated with Sholtz & Friends on a mini-documentary series pilot featuring masters in their crafts. The first episode showcased winemasters Jonas Seckinger and his brother, who hosted a Dunhill-sponsored wine tasting event. Our goal was to create engaging content that highlights the mastery behind the scenes and invite the audience to explore and participate in the curated event experience.

Dance Between Shadows

Anna Margolina's "Cold Waters" music video takes place at the historic Delphi Theater in Berlin. Actress and dancer Sarah Nevada plays the role of a spectral figure struggling to find her place. The video's visual narrative combines classic cinema with a dreamlike atmosphere. Through music and dance, the video explores the theme of self-discovery in an intimate way.

Reality TV Reimagined for Mobile

Watch four German celebrities—musician Bill Kaulitz, influencer Yvonne Pferrer, actor Kida Ramadan, and model Julia Wulf—as they explore different lifestyles, from quiet nature retreats to the buzz of Hamburg and Berlin. The 14 episodes are packed with genuine moments and visually engaging stories, all designed for mobile viewing. It's a unique blend of reality and scripted narrative.

Stories for th Swipe-Up Era

Best of Both Worlds proposes a new mini-show format. It's an attempt to break free from the limitations of portrait mode. Our approach blends the realism of reality TV with the art of visual storytelling, resulting in a visually engaging content series. We combine classic cinematography with GoPro's wide-angle captures with VHS and Super 8 footage to achieve unique aesthetics.
