Let's make great cinema together!
We are a small, creative film and multimedia studio in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany. Since our founding in 2009, we have been offering our services in many areas related to video and film production, post-production, advertising, visual effects and multimedia production. We have a lot of fun and enjoy creating impressive images, great stories, moving emotions and exciting sounds. We're happy to be able to deliver an ever-growing level of quality through high-quality equipment and new experiences.
Our service often does not just end with the moving image, because with additional skills and experience in the areas of programming, web, games, print, multimedia and event technology, we see ourselves as generalists who can also deliver multi-layered complete multimedia packages.
We work with partners and talented filmmakers from all over the world and look forward to working with you too.

Our history
How it all started...
Our interest in film goes back in part to our childhood. Later, as teenagers, we made animated short films using computer games and always had a huge enthusiasm for telling stories with pictures. As convinced Christians, it became important to us even then to share our faith through film. In 2009, when we filmed Kornis school graduation ceremony (technical high school in Schwäbisch Gmünd) with four cameras to have a souvenir of the evening, we had the idea of continuing to do similar projects alongside our studies. So to do things right, we found ourselves a few days later at the local trade office to register a business as Composite Media GbR. After a few multi-camera videos of graduations, band performances and weddings, we found more and more joy in the work. Gradually we were able to purchase our own equipment so that we were not dependent on the availability of rental equipment. Our spectrum then expanded to include advertising videos, cinema advertising, subtitle translations and video productions of all kinds.
The road to film and visual effects…
From 2012 we finally began to focus more on the subject of visual effects, compositing and animation. After completing his bachelor's degree in media informatics in 2013, Korni took the wonderful opportunity that was presented to him to deepen his knowledge of film at the Stuttgart Media University and began his master's degree. Our desire to work on scenic film productions grew steadily, and so did our dream of eventually producing our own narrative films with relevant messages. We got some wonderful opportunities to work on the visual effects for quite a few short, feature and even feature films. Our first big VFX project was the 2014 American Christian movie Beyond the Mask. Other films such as Polycarp and Woodlawn followed shortly thereafter. In 2016, Korni finally received his master's degree. In 2017 we got the opportunity to do the complete visual effects and CG work for the German Mannaplace short film "Kannst du mich hören?" ("Can you hear me?"). Various other projects such as cinema spots, real estate videos, wedding films, advertising videos, websites and much more have accompanied us over the years.
What we're doing today...
We are now happy to be able to offer a relatively wide range of film, video and post-production services and to be able to deliver an ever-increasing level of quality through high-quality equipment and growing experience. In addition, our service often does not just end with moving images. With additional skills and experience in the areas of programming, web, games, signage, print and event technology, we see ourselves as generalists who can deliver multi-layered multimedia packages. We are very grateful for what developed out of the spontaneous idea and what we were able to experience and learn through our work. But we are even more excited about what lies ahead. Especially in the field of film, we are very excited to see what else awaits us. With all the interesting experiences we were able to make, it still gives us the greatest pleasure when the client is just as enthusiastic about the result as we are.
What's next...
As convinced and enthusiastic Christians, it has been important to us from the very beginning to invest our work in God's kingdom. We want to support films that tell stories of hope and share the good news of God's love. Our big dream is still to get our own film projects off the ground. Since 2019, this dream has come within reach and there is a separate project that we are currently working on. In addition, since 2021 we have our new, well-equipped suite where we can be even more creative and effective in the future.
