We’re going into a deliberate marketing offensive with ARC3.
Our first film/project is performing extremely well on YouTube, and we want to keep pushing the algorithm with more high-calibre projects as fast as possible.
We’ll be launching the ARC3 website, and until then we want to use the time to build a stronger portfolio of reference films.
So feel free to apply anyway and let’s talk about the project you have in mind.

[Oz | founder]
Architecture and design begin in the mind as a quiet vision long before they become structure. We know the images of the projects, but not the minds behind them.
We often only see and admire the final result, yet every project has its own story from the design and construction process – of requirements, challenges and setbacks – that deserves to be told.
The people who shape our world through these masterpieces deserve far more than that; they have earned a stage that lets us into their inner world of ideas and visions.
THIS IS
WHO WE ARE
An architectural film studio focused on cinematic and high-end portraits of buildings and the people behind them.
Built on almost 6 years of work for leading global brands, now dedicated solely to architecture and spatial design.
Our work is inspired by the films of the AMAN hotels– made for studios who want their projects to be experienced, not just photographed.
Our films take your audience on a journey into your inner world of ideas – the design intent, the decisions and the vision behind each project.
Based near Munich. Filming worldwide.
OUR TWO‒YEAR MISSION
Within the next 24 months we'll build Europe's #1 architectural media company.
We’re confident about this mission for a simple reason:
In 2020 we started with zero filmmaking and zero business experience – and in just a few years we’ve built a production company that now works with leading brands and projects across Europe.
Now we’re taking everything we’ve learned and focusing it fully on architecture with ARC3 – with the clear goal of becoming Europe’s leading studio for architectural film and content over the next two years.
For 2026 we're planning to produce up to 15 films worldwide. We're gradually shifting our time from our existing production brand towards our new second brand, ARC3, and from 2028 onwards we plan to focus fully on architectural work.
The few studios we work with in 2026 will effectively become that backbone. We can offer particularly favourable terms in 2026 because our established production brand allows us to reinvest heavily into the new ARC3 label, and we're treating these early collaborations as a marketing (re-)investment (or ad spend) for our new brand.
Why We’re Offering This No‒Brainer Deal – And How We Make It Possible
Learn Faster, Deliver Better
We want to collect real-world insights and data as quickly as possible to build the best service in Europe. To do that, we need to understand our target audience sooner-your goals, wishes, requirements, and what “great” actually looks like from your perspective.
Build Reach and Trust at Speed
We’re moving fast to build visibility and credibility. Our first milestone is 100,000 YouTube subscribers, so we can educate the market, share results publicly, and become a recognizable name people trust.
Funded by our Strong Brand - Reinvested as Marketing
We can offer this deal because we already have a strong, profitable brand. That means we can cover ARC3’s costs internally-essentially reinvesting heavily and treating this as a deliberate marketing budget, not a profit-maximization play.
*Don’t forget to switch the film settings to 4K.

How our project
comes to life
A minimal, transparent process designed for busy studios: quick application, one strategic call, two shoot days, one film.
[STEP 1]
Apply for a slot in 2026
In under a minute you can apply via E-Mail for one or more of the 2026 slots by sharing a few key details about your studio and project.
[STEP 2]
Strategic kick-off & briefing call (30–60 min)
On a Zoom call we clarify whether the project is a good fit and shape the film together on a conceptual level.
[STEP 3]
Production on location (2 shooting days)
We spend two days on site to capture the project and a short filmed conversation with you. You only need to be present for a small part of the shoot.
[STEP 4]
Post-production (up to 2 weeks)
After the shoot we craft the film in a calm, iterative process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three of the most common questions clients ask us before committing to a project film.
[Q1]
Raw material and additional edits
Are we allowed to do our own edits from the footage or create additional versions? Do we get the raw material?
For reasons of quality, authorship and consistency, we don’t hand over raw footage and we ask that additional edits are not created independently. The package is designed to cover the essential use cases for your studio (website, social media, talks, awards, etc.).
If you see a need beyond that, we can always discuss additional edits or a separate buyout for extended usage – but that would be agreed on individually.
[Q2]
Project partners: rights and costs
Can project partners (in this case: landscape, interiors, developer, etc.) be involved – and how does that affect rights and costs?
Yes, they can – but they are never “automatically” equal clients. The base package is always designed for the architecture studio as the primary author of the project.
There are essentially two levels of involvement for partners:
1) Full presence in the film (fee: 80% of the production costs)
If a partner appears on camera, is named in the credits and the narrative of the film is more or less balanced between the studio and your partner, we treat them as a second main stakeholder. In that case, there is an additional fee for extended rights and the extra work involved, and the overall investment can then be shared between the studio and the partner in a way that reflects their presence in the film.
2) Logo presence and usage rights only (fee: 40% of the production costs)
If a partner is only mentioned by name and/or logo and would simply like to use the finished film on their own channels, this is handled as a separate buyout for usage rights. In that scenario, their contribution is clearly lower than that of a full on-camera partner, and the architecture studio remains the main client.
Partners can purchase the usage-rights buyout at any time (even after final delivery), effective upon written confirmation and payment.
In short: the more narrative weight and on-screen presence a partner has, the higher their share of the investment – a simple logo mention with usage rights is treated very differently from appearing as a second protagonist in the film.
[Q3]
Payment
How does payment work?
To secure the agreed production window, we ask for a 50% deposit of the project fee. As soon as this deposit is received, the dates for your film are firmly booked in our calendar.
Once the edit is completed and you’ve given final approval, we invoice the remaining 50%. After the balance has been paid, you receive the final files in the agreed formats.
In addition to the deposit, we charge an upfront travel retainer of €1,500 for one person.
This covers:
- a hotel close to the shooting location
- a rental car for local logistics
- a flight including extra baggage for the required equipment
All travel expenses are itemised and passed on 1:1 at cost. If the actual travel costs are higher than the €1,500 retainer, the difference is added to the final invoice; if they are lower, the difference is deducted from the remaining payment.
