What silberstern GmbH Filmproduktion does

The company produces image films, recruiting films, product films, commercials, trade show films, social media clips, and website header videos primarily for mid-sized German-speaking companies (the Mittelstand), with a named client portfolio spanning BHS Sonthofen, Liebherr Aerospace, Fendt (AGCO), Dachser, Oberstaufen Tourismus, UWT GmbH, and municipal clients including Stadt Kempten and Stadt Sonthofen. Revenue is project-based, with custom quotes issued after initial consultation and no public pricing tiers.

The company's production stack combines specialized physical equipment with AI-assisted post-production tooling.

Post-production integrates third-party AI capabilities including generative AI avatars for text-to-video, AI voice cloning with multilingual lip-sync adaptation, AI-supported matte painting with automatic shadow rendering, automated transcription and translation, and AI eye-contact correction. Output formats span 4K, 6K, 8K, vertical 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios.

The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with relationship-based chemistry checks, free idea papers during pre-sales, and dedicated project managers per engagement. The company has expanded beyond pure production into strategic Bewegtbild-Marketing, including social media campaign management across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with real-time performance evaluation. Pricing is custom and presented as ranging from basic to premium; the company compares film pricing to car pricing. silberstern is a certified member of the Bündnis Klimaneutrales Allgäu alliance, has earned international awards including Cannes 2023 finalist, World Media Festival, Global Business Film Award, and Houston Film Festival recognition, and operates a recurring in-studio event series featuring keynote speakers to drive inbound business development.
