A film crew based at Messe Essen for companies that need a company film in Germany: cinema cameras, in-house editing, English or German, fixed packages from €1,990 up to custom productions, plus VAT.
Corporate video covers every film a company makes about itself: the image film that explains who you are, the recruiting video that shows candidates a working day, the testimonial in which a customer describes the result. Pixer produces all three from one office in Essen with one crew and one price list.
Typical clients: international companies with a German subsidiary, marketing teams abroad that need footage from the German site, and exhibitors in Essen, Düsseldorf or Cologne who add a company film to the trip.
Briefing: a 30-minute call on purpose, audience, locations and speakers; fixed price the next working day. Concept: treatment, interview questions, shot list, schedule. Shoot: two or three crew members with cinema cameras, lighting and wireless audio, about 45 minutes per interview. Edit: in-house cut, grading, mix and subtitles; first cut via private link. Delivery: 16:9 and 9:16 masters within five to ten working days.
Pixer GmbH sits at Messeallee 26 in Essen, 30 seconds from the Messe Essen entrance. Founder Behzad Heidari brings more than 20 years of film and TV production; a crew of two or three shoots on cinema cameras and an in-house team edits.
Travel within NRW is included: Essen, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Dortmund, Duisburg, Bochum and Wuppertal are within an hour; other German cities are quoted once per trip. Non-EU companies pay no German VAT.

Prices as of 2026, all plus VAT; non-EU companies pay no German VAT. Unlimited usage rights and revision rounds (2 for Basic, 3 for Professional and Premium) are included in the three corporate packages, travel within NRW in every package. The full contents of each package are listed below under packages.
Prices for corporate videos in Germany vary widely, because the term covers very different productions. As a rough market orientation, agencies and production companies commonly quote from roughly €3,000 to €5,000 for a compact film with one shoot day, while multi-day brand films with concept, a larger crew and several locations often reach €20,000 or more. This is not a survey, just a range that helps when comparing quotes. What matters is what the quote actually contains: how many shoot days, which versions, which usage rights.
Corporate Basic sits below that range because its scope is clearly limited: half a shoot day at one location, a 60-second film and no concept development beyond the briefing. Editing and colour grading happen in our own edit suite in Essen.
Fixed prices plus VAT. NRW travel included, other German cities quoted once per trip. No German VAT for non-EU companies.
What the packages do not include: concept development beyond the briefing, travel outside NRW, additional shoot days, several films, actors and studio hire. Each of these is quoted individually and listed in the offer. Further add-ons on request: drone footage, additional languages, express delivery.
Non-EU companies pay no German VAT.

For a company with one site, Corporate Basic at €1,990 plus VAT is often enough: half a shoot day, a 60-second film and two vertical cuts, delivered in 5 working days. Corporate Professional at €2,990 covers a full shoot day with a film of up to three minutes. Travel within NRW, including Essen, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Dortmund, is included.
Depending on the package: shoot, edit, colour grading, subtitles, vertical clips, revision rounds and unlimited usage rights, from Professional upwards licensed music, and in Premium concept, script and a professional voice-over. Travel within NRW is included. Not included: concept development beyond the briefing, travel outside NRW, additional shoot days, several films, actors and studio hire. These are quoted individually and listed in the offer.
Mainly the number of shoot days and locations, the size of the crew and the post-production work: versions, vertical clips, motion graphics and subtitles. Voice-over, music licence and drone footage come on top depending on the package. Packages are graded by shoot scope, so an image film and a recruiting video of the same scope cost the same.
