FAQ

Why klenkfilm?

Our wide range of customers includes SMEs as well as Fortune 500 companies. It’s all about trust. We are recognized as reliable, competent, fast and easy to work with. That’s what our clients are looking for.

Do you work with agencies?

Sure. Most clients are direct contacts, but we also cooperate happily with local and also international agency partners. If you are looking for someone who - say - can go places without hassle and fill some gaps, just get in contact.

Is video expensive?

Depends on the time needed and the size of the crew. In post production, there are straightforward edits as well as complicated image and sound processing. The only way to answer that question is: tell us about your plans, and we will provide you with an immediate and realistic quote.

Do you offer live streaming?

Sure. For internal and external communications, as replacements and add-ons to conferences, trade shows and more. When your internal options can’t cover your needs, we can help with broadcast quality multicam solutions. Using intelligent technology which is compact und refreshingly simple to set up.

Do you work nationally and beyond?

Of course. In fact, most of our customers never come to our studio because they are located all over Europe and communication happens online. On the other side, there is always fine coffee at hand in our beautiful art nouveau building located in central Stuttgart.

What about international shoots?

We offer reasonable travel rates to Europe’s important business regions, and we are happy to hop on a plane to go places. It’s easy and doesn’t break the bank because we have lightweight carry-on gear for uncomplicated air travel.

4K? 8K? 12K? What the heck?

Camera tech is evolving rapidly. Today, we shoot in 4K resolution for everything, no reason to think smaller. With 8K and up, video reaches the resolution of stills photography. Our edit suites can handle these resolutions, in case you have a project where it’s needed.

Do you shoot beyond 16:9?

Sure. We can handle all geometries, be it for digital signage and media façades, stadium banners content, square and vertical video for social media. And we also shoot and edit spherical VR/360 videos.

No camera talk here?

Nope. Why should we bore you with tech talk? Not one single client ever wanted to know which cameras we use. Therefore, this website doesn’t boast the usual DoP posing with a RED or Arri rigged up like a christmas tree. 

What about localizations?

That’s daily routine. Full service for almost all languages. Translation and narration are provided by copywriters and vocal artists from the target countries. And we also do subtitles, of course.

How do you shoot statements or testimonials?

Without notes, or via Teleprompter. CEOs and managers are always short of time, so we work fast and efficiently. Small footprint, no hassle. If the location is not perfect, we can optimize things later on with a little help of AI.

What about archiving?

We keep almost everything ever shot by our crew, including the complete raw material. You happen to need original footage from a project ten years ago? It’s there, just call.

Is klenkfilm flexible?

We own all the stuff needed. That’s a selection of cameras, live equipment, audio, lighting, dollies, gimbals, drones, green screen, teleprompter/autocue and all the bells and whistles. No need for a rental house, we are always ready to go.

Where are sample videos?

Only our customers make their videos public, we don’t. But please feel free to browse our sizzle reels or request samples which fall in line with your project. If you are developing machines, you won’t be interested in jewellery and vice versa.

Okay. Let’s work together. What’s the timeline?
