Film production for planning practices and clients in Baden-Württemberg

Baden-Württemberg plans for industry: plants, laboratories and research buildings for automotive, mechanical engineering and medical technology. We are based in Hanau am Main and make films a technical decision-maker can actually judge. The English version is planned in from the start.

Planning for automotive, machinery and medical technology

Behind the scenes of a Mastlicht Media film production

The density of engineering practices here is high, and it shapes the market. Specialist planning for building services and energy is a discipline of its own, not a side offering. The tasks come from industry: production facilities, laboratories and research buildings that go into operation on a fixed date. Design alone wins no follow-up work.

There is also an expectation you need to know. Where evidence and tolerances belong to the professional self-image, material without substance stands out at once. What convinces is what can be followed: the real sequence, the real difficulty, your solution. That holds in existing buildings too, where the work ends up behind linings.

What is asked for between Rhine-Neckar and Lake Constance

Concept, shoot, edit and sound stay with one team. The English version belongs to it, not bought on top.

Practice and project film

Shows design and construction so a technical decision-maker can judge them. Filmed along the real order of trades.

Bilingual version

English is written alongside, not laid on afterwards. Voice-over, lower thirds and subtitles happen in one pass. Terminology is settled before the edit.

Refurbishment documentation

On energy upgrades, the condition before the first intervention is the most valuable shooting day. At completion only a finished building is left.

Industrial and architectural photography

Images of plants, laboratories and plant rooms for competition entries, trade press and exhibitions. From the same shooting day, in the same visual language.

Let’s plan your production in Baden-Württemberg

Describe the project, the time frame and the audience. Tell us whether the material is needed in English as well.

Let’s get going

Where you can see how we work

These films were made in Hesse, not in Baden-Württemberg. We claim no local reference. What you can read from them is the range: design work from first sketch to completion, building services, contractors on site. All shot during normal operations.

What we stand for

  • Honest and transparent communication
  • Creative media campaigns from a single source
  • A precise balance between creativity, real-world use and realistic economics

What sets us apart

Cinema quality. Costed with a clear head.

Film industry standard meets a lean, vertically integrated production setup. That is what makes quality affordable. What others outsource at a premium has long been part of our team. It saves time, it saves money, and you can see it in the result.

Stories that stick.

Cinematic DNA in short formats. We condense messages down to what matters. Precise, emotionally charged and built on real narrative craft. Advertising that isn’t just watched, but felt.

From Gen Z. For every audience.

We speak today’s visual language – fluently and by conviction. From elaborate corporate films through lean video productions to high-energy content for social media, we know exactly what earns attention. Made by a young team that grew up with the “cloud”. Effective for every audience, every format, every platform.

QUALITY and SERVICE are written in capitals here.

No project is finished until both we and our clients are happy with it. That is why you will find no small print limiting the number of revisions. We are convinced that clear, transparent communication, a structured briefing and the shared ambition to create something lasting and convincing make clauses like that unnecessary.

Services at a glance

Our focus is outstanding audio-visual film, video and photo production for the construction, architecture and building services (MEP) sector. But we think beyond the camera. Through our established network of experts and partners we open up additional touchpoints for your company: from corporate websites and digital project presentations through trade fair appearances and print to targeted LinkedIn marketing for the construction industry. Together we work out which channels and formats reach your clients, investors and future specialists most effectively – and we bring the right specialists to the table to deliver the project to our quality standard.

Travel, site access, hillside

Distances within the state vary enormously, and we do not dress that up. Mannheim, Heidelberg and the Rhine-Neckar area are a normal drive from Hanau, Karlsruhe and the Stuttgart region a day trip with an early start. Upper Swabia, the Black Forest and Lake Constance mean travelling the evening before.

On site the day follows the shift plan and the site management, not our schedule. Safety briefing, PPE and site security are arranged in advance. Confidentiality is the norm here: a non-disclosure agreement, an agreed shot list, approval of the cut before publication. The English version included.

Our client is a group with its head office abroad. Can we have the film in English too?

Yes, and not as an add-on afterwards. For practices working with exporters we build films bilingually from the beginning: the same cut, an English voice or subtitle track, English lower thirds. The difference from retrofitted translation is not only cost but timing. Copy written after the edit rarely fits the shot lengths.

Our project sits on a Stuttgart hillside, in the middle of a large site. Is that workable?

Yes, with lead time. Standing areas, crane movements and access routes are agreed with the site management before we travel. Aerials we check early, because in dense city areas not every flight is approved. On hillsides the opposite slope often gives a better image than a drone anyway.

Our design work sits behind walls and ceilings. How do you show that?

Through timing, not through the camera. The stripped-back condition, open risers, the installed service routing, the plant before it is boxed in: those images evidence your work, and they exist only for a few weeks. So we set two or three short dates across the build rather than one large shoot at the end.

What budget should we plan for?

A mid four-figure sum for a compact production at one location. A low five-figure one once several shooting dates, several locations or documentation across the construction period are involved. The bilingual version costs less than most assume, provided it is planned in from the start. We name the range in the first conversation.

Maximilian Priess

Managing Director and Director

Cinema has fascinated us since childhood – not just as a medium, but as a total work of art. The interplay of every craft involved, the precision in the detail, the passion behind every frame: those are exactly the values we took as the foundation of Mastlicht Media, and we keep building on them every day. Seeing how this medium, combined with our craft, creates lasting value for our clients is what excites me anew every single day.
