    Audiobook - Jana, 39, ungeküsst

    Motif: "Jana, 39, unkgeküsst"

    Jana Crämer is 39 years old. Smart likeable, humorous and professionally successful. But one thing sets her apart from most women her age: Jana has never kissed a man in her life. Not even held hands. And although falling in love is her big, unfulfilled dream, she still hasn't broken up over it in all these years.

    "Jana, 39, ungeküsst" is a moving, touching and encouraging book with which she takes us on a very private journey. From the isolated bullying victim in the schoolyard, to the woman who today millions of people listen to enthusiastically in the social networks when she says: "I am Jana, 39, unkissed and still happy. If I made it, you can make it too."

    Audiobook - Psychologie to go!

    Motif: "Psychology to go!"

    Franca Cerutti tells us about the three most common mental illnesses: anxiety disorders, depression, and addiction. We learn all about what exactly happens in our body when a mental condition sets in. What can we do when we are overcome by a panic attack? How can we help our loved ones with their problems and what helps us when depression sets in? Franca Cerutti doesn't mince words about all this and much more and is not only competent, but also simply wonderfully likeable.

    Radio spot - VKU App Deutschlandticket

    Motif: "49€ - Ticket"

    Have you ever been to Luschendorf, Kotzfeld or Tussenhausen?

    Well, then let's go!
    The "Deutschlandticket" (Ticket of germany)  has been on sale since April 3 and owners can explore even the most remote nooks and crannies of Germany for €49 a month by local transport from May 1.
    You can find out where the journey might take you and how you can also buy the new ticket online in the new VKU radio spot.

    Documentary soundtrack

    Motif: "Trautes Heim - Glück allein?" (Home sweet home - happiness alone?)

    For some, it's a place of longing; for others, it's a bourgeois hell: the single-family home.

    One's own house - a symbol of normality and of having arrived.

    Unlike their neighbors, Germans like to build solidly, so construction costs are higher than elsewhere. For most builders, therefore, the motto is: (Only) once in a lifetime. But why do so many people want their own house so much that they go into debt for it, sometimes for decades?

    The film "Trautes Heim - Glück allein?"  questions critically the idea of the own dream house and examines your origin.

      Das schönste Schaf im Wallis

      Motif: "Das schönste Schaf im Wallis"

      Mountains, wooden huts, sheep: Bringing out the atmosphere of the Swiss Alps sonically was ,along with the casting and recording of the off-speakers, one of the many areas in which we supported Christ Media's production.

    SYNCHRONISATION

    English-German? Or German-Italian ? Lip sync and true to character. Our team will help you to modify the texts, select suitable speakers and ensure the end result exactly fits the frame. The result is a perfect film with powerful sound effects and exciting music.

    BARRIER-FREE TELEVISION

    Fascinating documentary films and exciting thrillers – we can make your films barrier-free thanks to acoustic image descriptions. Audio descriptions can turn a film into a radio film: ideal for people with visual difficulties and the blind. We can put extra life into a film soundtrack by using succinctly placed precise wording. Everything from the manuscript to the finished recording.

    FILM MUSIC

    Music and sound design round off your images in the best possible manner: from TV documentaries via industry films to a viral web clip. Using sounds and instruments from all over the world we can create soundscapes to illustrate your films and enrich them with associations and emotions. In doing so we can offer you everything from individual compositions to the selection and licensing of already existing music.

    SURROUND MIX

    A handful of loudspeakers in the studio is not sufficient to ensure a surround sound experience. We consider it important to use acoustic possibilities in an emotional and artistic manner. Films and sound art projects need ambitious ideas for sound. When we open our ears more oxygen gets into the brain !

    MEDIA CONVERSION

    Rescue your musical treasures! Things like your favourite mix tape from the 80s, your first LP, or the radio recording you made on your good old Grundig tape recorder. Or your VHS collection. We can digitalise them: on request, also with technical optimisation and a cover.

  • Projects

    Sound art, music, video clips, radio plays. Not to speak of a good portion of media technology from sound design all the way to video editing. The range of our interests leads us to undertake vastly differing projects: from sound collages via viral web movies all the way to communication platforms on the Internet. Here you can see and listen to some of the digital solutions and forms of expression that we can offer.

    ADR

    Not everything on film sets is plannable. In the event of technical or content-related problems, dialogs are newly recorded via ADR synchrone to the picture. Actor Armin Rohde was in our studio for the thriller "Sarah Kohr - Teufelsmoor" (ZDF, 2020).

    Blaues Rauschen

    The festival BLAUES RAUSCHEN stages electronic music, sound experiments, performances, dance, installations and DJs to make the often abstract approach of technology-based art sensually tangible. The audience becomes a community of those interested and emotionally engaged in an event situation. The result is an experience space shaped by digital art, an aura for digital transformation. In social media and in the cinema trailers were advertised, which promote the festival.

    Für immer und Elfriede

    The person at the bar does not live by the beer alone - a conjecture that becomes a certainty in the house Fey in Bochum. Here, a grown patina of decades of well-being has formed, whose special beauty is fed by a variety of hard-to-grasp offerings, coupled with the increasingly rare art of a hostess like Elfriede Fey to create a living organism with a robust life of its own from the bar. For the exhibition "Für immer und Elfriede" in the PING-PONG-Gallery in Bochum, these original sound recordings were created, which immediately make the call for a continuing audiobook.

    Our production and ideas areas comprise:
    Texts and sound for media, in particular the creation of commercial and editorial articles for broadcasting stations, digital media and the Internet.

    All with the aim of providing the best possible media presence for our customers and their products.

    How do we achieve that?

    By providing development and realization from one source for many of our productions.

    helps to achieve the desired goal.

    From local business firms all the way to internationally renowned brand names, from local radio stations all the way to public broadcasting companies.

As a general rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but rather expires after a certain time, as long as it is not previously manually deleted by you.

    If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you may choose to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and thereby prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the JavaScript function in your browser.
