Now Showing - The Three Investigators and the Secret of Terror Castle

The Three Investigators and the Secret of Terror Castle is now showing in a cinema near you. Director Florian Baxmeyer, DoP Peter Krause, Visual Effects Supervisor Robert Pinnow and Studio Hamburg International Production teamed up again to create the sequel to 2007's blockbuster "Skeleton Island". We were asked to create one of the main characters of the movie entirely using CGI - Terror Castle itself. Check out the movie, bring your kids - it's a lot of fun.

this is love - it's a wrap!

until just one week ago we were shooting "this is love" with badlands film, the latest work of director Matthias Glasner. thanks to everyone at badlands film we are able to show you some behind-the-scenes footage of one of the most complex visual effects shots in the movie. main character Chis is having a car accident - later, after we have done some of our digital magic, it will be actor Jens Albinus sitting behind the steering wheel. the shot was planed down to the smallest detail by our previz department, always refining the shot based on Matthias' ideas before we started principal photography.

Thank you so much Matthias, Jürgen and Lars for letting us be a part of it, Heike and Dennis for the awesome behind-the-scenes video and the entire film crew! U ROCK!
