Your Professional Commercial Film Production

THE TARGET AUDIENCE
IN FOCUS

For all our commercial film productions, we take an analytical approach: Even the most elaborately produced commercial video is of little value if it doesn’t resonate with the target audience. We advise you on distribution, marketing strategies, and target audience analysis, and we know which channels will make waves with your commercial film.

EXCELLENT
STORYTELLING

We give your company a voice by conveying your brand personality through our storytelling. An emotional story engages viewers – this doesn’t require complex science, just a brilliant idea from our creative team.

ALWAYS
WITH PASSION

We put our heart and soul into every commercial production. When working with Mainfilm, you get a partner committed to sustainable, long-term relationships. We accompany you from ideation to distribution, always considering your wishes and visions.

HAVE AN ADVERTISING FILM
PRODUCED

Every commercial film production begins with an idea. And this idea must be developed so viewers understand within seconds what it’s about, and become excited and convinced. True to our motto “Nothing is impossible,” our team is motivated to explore new paths and deliver tailored solutions for every project. Creativity combined with precise, targeted analysis is our top priority for successful production.

With your target audience in mind, we develop storytelling that captures attention, builds brand loyalty and motivates potential customers to buy. As a powerful marketing tool, a commercial film leverages emotions, persuasive power, and shows customers which product or service can enhance their daily lives. And this is exactly where we come in.

THE PROCESS OF COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

As a professional film production company, we place utmost importance on a clean and precise workflow for commercial film production. Every step and action must be perfect – we at Mainfilm take a holistic approach and invest considerable time and love into creating every commercial video.

INITIAL MEETING &
TARGET AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

First, we get to know each other and discuss your expectations for us and the direction the commercial film production should take in a detailed briefing session. Additionally, we analyze the target audience, define the scope and goals, and determine who we want to address with the commercial film and what message should be conveyed. We always keep the competition in mind and highlight precisely those advantages that set your product, brand, or service apart from the competition.

IDEA GENERATION

After collecting all necessary information for the commercial production, we begin with our internal creative workshop. During brainstorming, we evaluate various creative approaches and develop multiple ideas that we then present to you. The needs of your target audience always come first.

Strategy and
Video Concept

In line with the concept, we develop a holistic strategy and think long-term: Every tiny detail is incorporated into our planning. Bold, creative, and captivating storytelling is our USP. Based on this, we create a storyboard or script that shows what the final video clip will look like.

PRE-PRODUCTION

In the pre-production phase, it’s crucial that all steps interlock to ensure smooth production. The following services are included in a Mainfilm commercial production:

FILMING

In the next step, we implement all the previously planned steps and begin filming. We strictly adhere to the script or storyboard and ensure that all team members follow their tasks precisely. Depending on the effort or complexity of the production, the size of the on-site team varies.

POSTPRODUCTION

In postproduction, our editors review the recorded material from the commercial production. This is followed by editing, compositing, audio and sound design, color grading, and the application of visual effects or animations. Upon completion, you receive the final commercial production ready to be distributed in the correct format across various channels.

DISTRIBUTION &
MARKETING STRATEGY

A good commercial film is played on the target audience’s preferred channels. We develop a well-thought-out marketing strategy for your production to ensure the commercial film achieves maximum impact or conversion. Additionally, we increase reach by involving influencers or partners in optimal distribution.

Upon request, we produce cutdowns (shortened versions of an originally longer spot) to reach the target audience on selected platforms—tailored to their specific media behavior.

Cheil Germany worked with Mainfilm for the Samsung Live Commerceproject. This project was the first live commerce case in Germany where amajor electronics company sold its product on social platforms. Sincethere was no used case, we had to develop an entire strategy, creative,and live-streaming production plan with Mainfilm.

Mainfilm ist unser Mediendienstleister für unsere Eventdokumentation und Live Streaming. Vor allem dadurch, dass unsere Kunden und Partner auch international verteilt sind, haben wir uns für Mainfilm entscheiden. Neben der Erstellung von Eventfilmen zur nachträglichen Verwendung hat Mainfilm unser Event auch live ausgestrahlt.

So konnten alle wichtigen Akteure bei Konferenzen und wichtigen Interviews auf unserem Event im In & Ausland live dabei sein.

Dadurch können wir es langfristig nutzen und unseren Eventfilm auch nach der Veranstaltung noch vielseitig einsetzen. Wir haben uns für Mainfilm entschieden, da hier echte Profis mit Leidenschaft am Werk sind. Mainfilm bietet einen rundum Services – wir mussten uns vor Ort um nichts kümmern.

WHY CHOOSE US AS YOUR AGENCY

Do you need more reasons why we, as a commercial film agency, should elevate your marketing strategy to the next level? Et voilà, here they come:

GENERATING
AWARENESS

In just 10 to 30 seconds, a commercial film delivers your message without unnecessary fluff. People remember 10% of what they hear, 20% of what they read, but 80% of what they see. Plus: You can tailor content to the target audience’s preferences and evoke emotions through targeted storytelling.

NEXT LEVEL
MARKETING

Commercials can be effectively distributed: Targeted placements on suitable platforms reach the target audience on their devices – ideally without any waste (unlike linear TV). This in turn leads to more conversions and engagement.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How is a commercial created?

A commercial production requires a brilliant idea and creative storytelling, always keeping the target audience in focus. Based on this, a script or storyboard is developed. During pre-production, aspects such as selecting the right location, overall planning, coordinating departments and crew, technical requirements, and casting actors are finalized. The actual filming then takes place. In post-production, editing, sound mixing and color grading are added, and the completed commercial is prepared for release.

How is advertising produced?

There are various types of advertising: These can be produced for print, online or TV. Visual advertisements – meaning commercial productions – are particularly popular. In a short film (average 10-30 seconds), a product, service or company is promoted creatively.

Who produces films in Germany?

Mainfilm is your partner for professional film and commercial productions. In a comprehensive briefing session, we incorporate all ideas, concepts and wishes – always considering the target audience and objectives – and translate them creatively into a commercial.

How much does a commercial video cost?

The cost of a commercial depends on its length and production effort, which in turn depends on many factors: image quality requirements, complexity and duration, number of sets and actors, animations and special effects or even stunts. We’d be happy to provide you with a non-binding quote for your commercial production.

What do you need for an advertisement?

For a commercial production, you need a creative concept, a core message and target audience analysis. To shoot an advertisement, you need the right technical equipment and a professional, well-coordinated team.

How long should a commercial be?

What’s the ideal length for a commercial video? On average, commercial videos are 30 seconds long. However, it always depends on which platform the commercial will be shown on. For social media like YouTube, shorter videos of 10 seconds work better.
