Planning video and photography together

Our first conversation covers the videos and photographs you need and where you plan to use them. If you have a brief or an agency concept, we work from it. We then plan the shots, the shoot and the required versions.

  1. Briefing

    Our first conversation covers your product, audience and the intended use of the videos and photographs. Product information, samples and an existing brief help us plan the production.

  2. Proposal and preparation

    You receive a proposal covering the planned shoot and post-production. Before production, we agree the shots, location, schedule and required video and image formats.

  3. Production and post-production

    We handle filming, photography and post-production. Your team reviews and approves the product presentation. You receive the finished files for the agreed channels.

Questions about product videos and photography

What does a product video or photography shoot cost?

The cost depends on the subjects, preparation, filming or photography time, post-production and required versions. Voice-over, music, animation, usage rights or special sets may add to the scope. Tell us about your product, intended use and deadline so we can prepare a proposal.

Can we commission video and product photography together?

Yes. We plan both together and identify shots, sets and preparation that can be shared. Video and still photography may require different lighting or camera setups, which we account for before production.

Do we need a finished concept before contacting you?

No. Your product, audience, intended use and preferred deadline are enough to start. We can also work from an existing brief, visual style or agency concept.

Do you only work with businesses in Munich?

Our studios are in Unterschleissheim and Garching, both near Munich. We also work with businesses outside the region. We discuss whether to shoot in the studio or at your location based on the product and the shots you need.

Who will handle our enquiry?

FF Pictures receives your enquiry. FF Pictures handles film production and RIESS handles photography. For a joint production, we agree the responsibilities and your point of contact with you.
