The Genesis – How a Film Becomes a Masterpiece

1 In the beginning there was only a white sheet and a pine pencil.
2 The page was blank and the spirit of Christian thought up a story and wrote it down. A story so powerful and emotionally charged that everyone wanted to hear it and it was now quickly to be made into a film.
3 And Christian said: We need good actors and fantastic extras for this masterpiece so that it looks as real as possible. And it happened like this.
4 And Christian said: Let there be light! And there was light, because the lighting engineer switched on dozens of lamps and spotlights on the set and Christian saw that the light was good for filming and creating the masterpiece.
5 And Christian said: For the next scene, gather the water in a place called the sea, and find it, because we should shoot on the beach. And it happened that way, because various great suitable places had already been travelled to in advance.

6 And Christian said: There should be lights on the sky extension, because one of our scenes we have to shoot at night and we need a clear starry sky for it. And it happened that way, because the lighting technicians hung many small LED lights on the studio ceiling that shone with varying brightness.
7 And Christian was grateful for the many hardworking people who had worked on this masterpiece to the point of exhaustion and for the customer who had placed his trust in him, and he thanked them all.
8 And the footage produced was merged with the sound and music, edited and enhanced in close cooperation between a wide range of departments.
9 And Christian saw all that they had achieved together; and behold, it was very good. And it was evening, and it was morning: the masterpiece was created, and the client was able to gain new customers of his own and increase his turnover as a result. And it was good.

Why Storytelling Is the Heart of Every Great (Brand) Film

I’ve seen too many films that feel like random scenes stitched together. Sometimes cut to music – sometimes not. But one thing is always missing:
a story.
Even in a 20-second commercial, there has to be a narrative – something with meaning, direction and emotion.

Let’s take image films: Showing a CEO leaving the house, driving around and looking into the sunset might look nice. But that’s not storytelling – that’s cinematic wallpaper.

The first question is always: Who is the film for?

And just so we’re clear – “Everyone” is never the right answer.

As a filmmaker, I dig deeper. Because my goal is simple:
The client should be more successful after the film than before.
That only happens when the film is built around a strong narrative – tailored to the audience and the objective.

That’s where storytelling begins. And that’s where real impact starts.
