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…
Ab dem Jahr 2012 begannen wir schließlich, uns verstärkt mit dem Thema Visual Effects, Compositing und Animation zu befassen. Korni nutzte nach seinem Bachelorabschluss 2013 in Medieninformatik die wundervolle sich ihm bietende Gelegenheit, an der Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart sein Filmwissen zu vertiefen und begann sein Masterstudium. Unser Wunsch, an szenischen Filmproduktionen mitzuarbeiten wuchs stetig und so auch unser Traum, irgendwann eigene narrative Filme mit relevanten Botschaften zu produzieren. Wir bekamen einige wunderbare Gelegenheiten an den visuellen Effekten für etliche Kurz-, Spiel- und sogar Kinofilme mitzuarbeiten. Unser erstes großes VFX-Projekt war 2014 der amerikanische christliche Kinofilm “Beyond the Mask”. Kurz darauf folgten weitere Filme wie “Polycarp” und “Woodlawn”. Im Jahr 2016 erhielt Korni schließlich seinen Masterabschluss. 2017 bekamen wir die Gelegenheit für den deutschen Mannaplace-Kurzfilm “Kannst du mich hören?” die komplette Visual-Effects- und CG-Arbeit zu übernehmen. Verschiedenste andere Projekte wie Kinospots, Immobilienvideos, Hochzeitsfilme, Werbevideos, Webauftritte und vieles mehr begleiteten uns darüber hinaus über die Jahre.
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.
