It’s always a pleasure to work with clients who values creativity over tight deadlines.
@lavita gifted us the most decadent of luxuries: creative trust. In a fast paced world obsessed with the “deliverable” - a word as delicious as a cold pizza - we where able to lean into making the details count.
Get a glimpse into the joy of creation with this peak behind the scenes of our process.

They say health is something you only notice when it’s missing. But how do you visualize something invisible?
@lavita challenged us to tell their story different. No problem/solution formula this time. We wanted to show how their product becomes a companion through life’s journey.
After weeks of collaborative ideation, we decided on following our protagonist Eva and her family through the seasons of life, weaving in an organic visual metaphor for how LaVita nourishes billions of cells.
Our favorite part was LaVitas trust in our craft. They understood that details matter. So we built Eva’s world with the kind of care and dedication that makes animation feel alive.
This project was pure joy from concept to final frame. And honestly, that love for the craft shows. Because just like health, great animation is something you feel when it’s there... and definitely notice when it’s missing.

@galvany.energy came to us for a brand video but we ended up reshaping how they talk about their entire business.
They're reinventing heatpump access - think monthly subscription instead of massive upfront costs. Many pumps across neighborhoods that optimize each other's efficiency.
Good concept, greta cause, but hard to visualize.
We tried nonetheless and the more focused our visual approach became, the more they liked it. Their leadership started using our renders in internal meetings. The visuals clarified things they'd been struggling to articulate for months. Suddenly we weren't just making a video anymore.
We expanded into contributing to their full rebrand. Website illustrations. App UX/UI. It was the kind of project where the lines blur between "deliverables" and actual partnership.
These projects, where your work changes how a client sees themselves, not just how others see them, are the reason we love what we do.

Big images are made in small steps. Thoughtful post production detailed handcraft and people who care about every frame even when no one is watching. 🫰

Looking back at 2025 fills us with appreciation. 💫 From exciting collaborations to favourite projects like this Christmas film for @zdf.de we’re grateful for every step. Thank you, big time, to our team, clients and partners for making this year special.
Happy Advent, happy christmas and a wonderful start into 2026. 🎄
This year we colaborated closely with the team over at @weleda for their product launches.
Together we dove into the colour blue and explored what a modern medicinal beauty brand can look like.

What does sound look like?
Can we navigate imagination guided only by our ears?
That was the question we explored when @mercedesbenz invited us to visualise the sonic identity they created for their latest line of electric vehicles.
In close collaboration with their sound engineers, we brought this intricate audio engine to life. Each element was designed to echo the intuitive connection between car and driver. The effortless collaborations really made this one of the most distinctive and rewarding projects we’ve had in the automotive space.

We're always excited when opportunity knocks. It sets our minds in motion, and we drift into the what-if valleys of our imagination. Most of the time, we return with images that capture possibilities and potential.
Sometimes they resonate, sometimes they don’t. Either way, they remain as traces of creative journeys that might have been.

Looks like summer took a holiday this year… and winter stepped in with a suitcase full of rain.
So we thought: why not embrace the vibe?
Here’s a peak into our design process for project we created for @ARD Christmas program.
Because who needs sun when you’ve got fairy lights and paper snowflakes?

Much like building a piano, crafting meaningful imagery is an exercise in precision, patience, and emotional depth. Together with Bechstein we explored possible routes of visualizing brands signature sound in motion.
