A.F Studio

What A.F Studio does

A.F Studio is a Berlin-based video production studio operating as A.F Babel & Röser GmbH, founded in 2012 and run by Managing Partners Florian Röser and Aljoscha Babel. The studio creates advertising, motion design, social media, TV and film content for brands and advertising agencies, delivering projects across live-action and motion design using a standard post-production toolchain (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects) increasingly augmented by AI-assisted editing workflows. A small core team (1-10 employees) is augmented by a global freelance talent network, and the company has spawned two operating subdivisions: 3 Raum (feature films and music) and Storyland (mixed-media cultural platform).

The client base spans enterprise brands and agencies across fashion and e-commerce (Adidas, H&M, Zalando, Vinted, eBay, Karl Lagerfeld, Hirmer), automotive (Opel, Smart, Alstom), technology (Samsung, Apple Music, Telekom Electronic Beats), FMCG (Bahlsen, Dr. Hauschka, Logona), retail (OTTO, Lieferando, toom), consulting (BCG) and agencies (BBDO, Leo Burnett, DEPT, Jung von Matt, Scholz & Friends, TLGG). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees scoped per brief, with pricing not publicly disclosed; the studio does not advertise retainers, subscriptions or recurring licensing terms. Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct client engagement and agency partnerships serving as the two primary channels and a website plus Instagram presence handling top- and mid-funnel demand capture.

Ownership is concentrated with the two founding Managing Partners, start-up capital is €25,000, no external funding rounds are disclosed, and there is no parent company. The operating footprint is registered in Berlin (HRB 212938 B) with global client delivery executed via the talent network rather than foreign offices.
