Video Production Vienna
Brand films, commercials and corporate videos, planned, filmed and delivered by one experienced partner.
I'm a British filmmaker in Vienna with over 15 years in the creative industry. I produce films built around your marketing goals, delivered on time and on budget.

Film Types.
A brand film is all about identity. It communicates your mission and the "why" behind your business. Rather than pushing a single product, these pieces zoom out to showcase your history, core principles, the humans behind the scenes, and the tangible impact you have on your clientele. They typically clock in at one to three minutes and serve as the hero content for a homepage, marketing push, or official launch.
Brand films live at the top of the funnel. They generate buzz and name recognition among first-time visitors, giving them a compelling reason to keep you in mind. Purchasing decisions are seldom driven by specs alone; people buy from companies they trust. A polished brand film builds that emotional connection and familiarity in just minutes.
I partner with you to brainstorm concepts, draft the treatment, and step behind the camera as director. This ensures the final edit aligns perfectly with your target audience and business objectives from day one. If you need social media cuts or complementary photography, we map those out early on. Bundling them into the initial quote means a single shoot can deliver a comprehensive content library rather than just one video.
Production then scales to the idea. The brand film for the winery Der Hirt came together over a full shoot day with a cast of 18 and crew, plus extra visits to capture drone footage and the vineyard in a different light. See the Der Hirt project.

A corporate video explains what your business does, who it is for and how you work. Where a brand film leads with feeling, a corporate video leads with clarity. It might be a company profile for your homepage, an overview for investors and partners, a message from your leadership team or a film that walks a new client through your process.
These assets shine in the middle of the funnel. Prospects already know your name; now they are vetting whether you're the right partner. A sharp corporate video answers their preliminary questions upfront, allowing sales teams to begin conversations with a warm lead who is already educated about your offerings. Once produced, the same video pays dividends repeatedly inside proposals, pitch decks, trade show loops, and new-hire orientation sessions.
Some corporate videos are filmed in your own offices, others in a location chosen because it looks better on camera, and I help you decide which serves the film. Every shoot day runs to a detailed schedule agreed well in advance, with a time slot for each person, so your team knows exactly when they are needed and the day delivers everything on the shot list. I direct everyone who appears on camera, including those who have never done it before, so they come across as confident and natural.
A corporate video is only as clear as the thinking behind it. For Thinkubator, the project started with a four-hour communication and brand strategy workshop covering who they are, what they do and who their clients are. The output from workshop fed into the the narrative structure of the film. We developed a script and interview questions from so all details where captured and articulated correctly and in the right sequence. It is the most thorough way I know to make a corporate video, its clear and true to the company it represents See the Thinkubator corporate video

A promotional video or commercial has one job: to get a specific audience to take a specific action. That might be buying a product, booking a service, signing up for an event or visiting your website. These films are short, often between six and sixty seconds, and they are made for the places they will run: paid social, YouTube, your website, television or screens at an event.
Commercials work across the funnel. A strong spot builds awareness with new audiences, and the shorter, more direct versions bring people who already know you back to act. Because each one supports a campaign with a goal and a budget behind it, the planning starts with that goal: who needs to see it, where they will see it and what they should do next.
From there I develop the concept, storyboard the shots and manage the production, organising crew, talent, locations and styling where the idea requires them. The versions the campaign needs, in each length and format, are agreed up front and set out in your offer, so the shoot is planned to deliver all of them. If the campaign needs photography as well, it can be planned and quoted alongside the film, so every asset looks like part of one campaign.
Planning it what makes the day run smoothly and stress free. For the streetware label Soul Over Body I had several meetings with the founder to develop the video concepts to launch his brand. I developed detailed storyboards and shot lists so we had a clear plan for the shoot day. I like to leave some room for spontaneity on the though, often new ideas form when I’m actually shooting. See the Soul Over Body project.

A recruiting video shows candidates what it is like to work with you. It introduces the team, the workplace and the work itself, so the right people can picture themselves in the role before they apply. Employer branding films take a wider view and tell the story of your culture and values, for your careers page, LinkedIn, job listings and recruitment events.
Recruiting has its own funnel, and these films support every stage of it. They put your company in front of people who are not yet looking, they help interested candidates decide to apply, and they set clear expectations of the role and the team. The applications you receive come from people who already understand who you are, and the film keeps working for every role you advertise afterwards.
The strongest recruiting films feature real employees speaking in their own words. I direct the interviews and film your team at work, so the result feels true to the company. If you need team portraits or workplace photography as well, they can be added to the production and quoted with it, giving your careers page and your HR team a complete set of material.
If your careers page also needs headshots and workplace photography, that's possible with Business Photography.
- A funnel of its own: awareness to application
- The right candidates recognise themselves
- Good for Careers page, LinkedIn, job ads
A product video shows what your product is, how it works and why someone would want it. It can be a polished hero film for a launch, a short demonstration, a how-to, or a set of clips for your online shop and social channels. Movement shows what a photograph can only suggest: scale, texture, function and the way a product fits into someone's day.
Product videos matter most at the point of decision. Someone on a product page is already interested, and seeing the product in use gives them the confidence to buy. Shorter, more stylised versions work higher up the funnel as adverts and social content, introducing the product to new audiences and building anticipation ahead of a launch. I light and film products with the same attention to colour, material and detail that I bring to product photography, whether in a studio or on location with people using them. If you need both film and photography, it makes sense to plan them together. The film, any short clips for your shop and social media, and the product photos are agreed and quoted as one production, so your launch has a consistent look everywhere it appears.
If you need still images to go with it, that's Product, Food & Drink Photography, planned as its own project.
- Consideration and purchase
- Confident decisions, more conversions
- Good for product pages, online shops, launches, ads
A testimonial video lets a client describe, in their own words, what it was like to work with you and what changed as a result. Interview films use the same approach with your founders, experts or team, for case studies, thought leadership and the story behind the business. In both, real people speak plainly, and that is what makes them persuasive.
These films belong in the middle and lower part of the funnel. When someone is comparing you with other options, hearing from a customer who has already made the same decision is the most credible evidence you can offer. Testimonials work hard on service pages, in proposals, in sales emails and as short clips on LinkedIn, and one interview can be cut into several pieces, each answering a different question.
A good interview depends on the person feeling at ease. I prepare the questions with you, keep the setup simple and guide the conversation so the answers come out clear and natural. My own clients often mention how calm the shoot felt, even for people with little experience in front of a camera. A series of interviews can be filmed in a single day, with a consistent look across all of them.
- Decision stage
- Builds trust, right before someone gets in touch

How It Works
As a photographer and videographer in Vienna, I run every production through the same four phases, so you always know what happens next and what you'll receive at each step.
Phase 1
Discovery
- Initial enquiry
- Discovery call
- Offer / quote
Your enquiry leads to a discovery call, where we cover your goals, your audience, where the film will be used and your timeline. Afterwards you receive a tailored offer, so you know exactly what's included before anything is booked.
Phase 2
Pre-production
- Kick-off meeting
- Idea & treatment
- Planning: schedule, locations, shot lists, people
The kick-off meeting sets the direction. The idea is developed with you, or your existing idea is refined, and I write the director's treatment for your approval. Then comes the planning that keeps a film production on track: the production schedule, locations, shot lists, and the people in front of and behind the camera, with location scouts where needed.
Phase 3
Production
- Shoot day(s)
On smaller projects I direct, produce and film myself. On bigger productions I bring in trusted freelancers I work with regularly: production assistants, sound engineers, makeup artists and models. The crew always fits the size of the project.
Phase 4
Post-production
- Edit, grade, sound
- Delivery and revisions
- Final film(s) delivered
I edit, grade and mix the sound, then share the film for your feedback. The final film is delivered ready to publish.

Filming in Vienna
Most of my filming happens in Vienna, and that experience is already part of what you book.
- Studio AccessA well placed studio in central Vienna handles the majority of my studio work, and larger studios are available when a production needs one.
- PermitsMost shoots in Vienna need no permit at all. For larger productions filming on public streets, I manage the permit process as part of pre-production.
- CastingCommercial and brand work casts models through the Vienna agencies I work with. Corporate and employer branding films usually feature your own people.
- Light and SeasonsVienna is at its best from spring through autumn, with green trees and long summer light. Winter shoots are entirely workable. Summer and the weeks before Christmas are the busiest periods, so it's worth planning those productions early.
- LocationsEvery shoot is prepped from what we can see: an in person scout where the schedule and the size of the production allow, photos or a 3D tour where they don't.
- On the GroundEquipment travels by car, so shoot days are planned around on site parking where a venue offers it, with public garages as a fallback.
Filming here from abroad works too: the FAQ below covers how much of a production can be handled remotely.

What I appreciated most was his ability to understand what I was trying to achieve with the lighting, even when I couldn't quite articulate it myself.

It was a real pleasure working with Matt!
He helped me set up two filming zones with completely different requirements, and the results were excellent. Matt was incredibly patient and open to experimenting with different approaches until we got everything just right.
What I appreciated most was his ability to understand what I was trying to achieve with the lighting, even when I couldn't quite articulate it myself. I think this is an incredibly valuable quality in someone working in a creative field, and it really speaks to Matt's expertise.
When it comes to equipment, Matt is refreshingly straightforward about what you need and what you don't. Rather than pushing unnecessary purchases, he'll show you how to get the most out of what you already have.
On a personal note, Matt is very polite, friendly, and approachable. He clearly understands how creative minds work while remaining practical and business-minded.
I'm really looking forward to working with him again soon!
Thank you, Matt!

FAQ
Video production in Vienna, answered
Short answers to the questions clients usually ask before we start.
Every quote is tailored to the project. As a guide, a brand film usually costs between €2,000 and €10,000 excluding VAT, depending on the factors that shape the work: the number of shoot days, the size of the crew, locations, actors and the number of edits.
The main film, in the length and format we agree at the start, plus the edit, colour grading, sound mixing and licensed music. Two rounds of revisions are included, and so is all the professional equipment: cinema cameras, 4K, professional lighting and sound, plus drone footage where it suits the shoot. Optional extras such as cut-downs, a second language version or photography are quoted separately, so you only pay for what you'll use.
Most productions take two to six weeks from the discovery call to the final film; bigger productions can take longer, depending on shoot days and deliverables. I work to deadlines and deliver in time for the dates you plan around.
It's a collaborative process. Some clients come with an idea that's ready to go, or one that needs a little refinement. With others, I lead the idea development and we create the concept together. Once the idea is set, I produce the director's treatment, then the shot list and production schedule, and scout the locations.
Yes. The crew scales with the project: smaller productions run solo, bigger ones bring in trusted freelancers chosen for what the film needs. One director and producer stays with you from the first call to the final cut.
Yes. I can film and produce both English and German versions when needed, and a film in just one language is equally possible.
My native language is English, and I work in spoken English. Documents and the films themselves can be made in German when needed.
Photos are an optional extra. Photography can be included as part of the shoot day or days if time and budget allow.
You review the first cut in Frame.io, leave feedback, and I fold it into the next version. Two rounds of revisions are included in every production. One recommendation from experience: gather all your key stakeholders for every round. The two included rounds work best when everyone who signs off has seen the film each time. Notes that arrive for the first time in a late round tend to ask for bigger changes. The two rounds are scoped into your quote, which is how a film stays on budget. Anything beyond them is new scope: discussed, quoted, and only added once you agree.
As a rule of thumb, length follows purpose. A hero film for your homepage usually sits around 60 to 90 seconds: long enough to establish who you are and what you do, short enough to hold attention. Company films can run a few minutes, because the people watching are actively learning about your business. Employer branding films can run longer again, two to four minutes, since candidates are a motivated audience who want the detail. Versions for ads and social stay short, usually under 90 seconds. Whatever the film, the same rule applies: every scene earns its place.
Usage rights are discussed and agreed upfront, during the discovery phase, and tailored to each project.
Yes. I film across Austria, Europe and the UK. The Interior Eclectics project film, for a UK interior design studio, was shot there.
Yes. Although I'm based in Vienna, I work across Europe and the UK. It helps if you can be present on the shoot day, but pre-production and post-production can both be handled remotely. The discovery call, the kick-off and the planning happen by video call, you review the edit in Frame.io, and remote interviews are possible too: if you'd like to conduct the interview yourself over Zoom, I'll handle the recording and the edit from here.
A wide range: newer companies and established ones, hospitality brands, NGOs and international companies. Some are based in Vienna, others fly in from further afield to film here.
Nothing formal. It helps to know your goals, your audience, where the film will be used and your timeline. If you have a draft idea, or reference films you like, bring them along. If not, we'll shape it together.
Yes. Retainers run on a monthly or quarterly basis. Together we define a set number of shoot days or a set number of deliverables upfront, covered by one agreed retained cost. It suits clients who want a steady run of films across the year rather than organising each production separately. If that sounds closer to what you need, mention it in the discovery call and we'll shape it together.
Yes. Where it suits the film and the location, drone footage is included at no extra cost.
