About ACHT
ACHT is a German visual-effects, animation and digital post-production studio established in 2003. Serving advertising, automotive, entertainment and broadcast work, it combines live-action finishing with CG production, design and real-time production capabilities for commercial campaigns, brand launches and moving-image projects.
The studio’s work spans the full moving-image workflow, from VFX supervision, compositing, clean-up and set extensions to photorealistic CGI, 3D modelling, character animation, motion design, editorial and colour finishing. Its automotive-focused 3D department supports vehicle visualisation, while its post-production offering includes offline editing, online conform, HDR mastering and edit and DaVinci Resolve grading-suite hire.
Production capabilities
