Corporate videographer in the Wachau

A corporate videographer in the Wachau is a filmmaker who produces image films, recruiting videos, interviews and product stories for wineries, hotels, manufacturers and institutions in the valley and in Krems, from the first script to the final cut in several formats. Most brands here sell a place as much as a product, so the film usually combines interviews in the cellar or office with landscape scenes that show where the wine, the apricots or the guests come from.

Those landscape scenes often involve heritage sites with clear rules. Melk Abbey’s house rules require a written permit before any professional photo or film shoot anywhere on its premises, inside or outside, requested at least seven days ahead with the team size, equipment, time frame, subject, purpose and planned release date. Advertising shots are not permitted anywhere on the grounds, filming is not allowed in the interior rooms such as the library or the Marble Hall, and approved footage may only be used for the approved purpose. Tripods also need the abbey’s permission. A typical production runs one or two shooting days after a briefing and location scout, followed by editing, music licensing, subtitles and versions for web, social media and trade fairs.
