An image film shows who you are, where you work and why customers stay. Cinema cameras, interviews in English or German, in-house editing, fixed packages from €1,990 up to custom productions, plus VAT.
An image film is the one video a company can use everywhere: website, sales presentation, trade fair screen, onboarding. It shows the site, the people and the way of working, and answers a prospect's first question: can they deliver.
For international groups the film of the German subsidiary has a second job: it shows the head office what the German site looks like and gives the German sales team a film in the local language. One shoot, two masters.
Briefing: one call on audience, key messages, locations and speakers; fixed price the next working day. Concept: treatment with storyline, interview questions and shot list; script in Premium. Shoot: one or two days on site with cinema cameras and wireless audio; two-camera interviews, then production, offices and team. Edit and delivery: in-house cut, grading, mix and subtitles; 16:9 and 9:16 masters within seven 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.
An image film from Pixer costs €1,990 for a half shoot day with a 60-second film, €2,990 for a full shoot day with a film of up to three minutes, or €4,990 for two shoot days with concept, script and voice-over, all plus VAT. Larger productions start with the brand film from €9,900; custom and international projects typically range from €15,000 to €35,000.

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 image films 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.

With several interviews and a film of up to three minutes, Corporate Professional is €2,990. There are no travel costs in Essen or anywhere else in NRW.
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. That is why our packages are graded by shoot scope, not by film type.
