The M.A.R.K.13™ Group

The M.A.R.K.13™ Group is an independent German animation and digital post-production group based in Stuttgart. Founded in 1999, it works across animated feature films, episodic television, advertising and immersive media. Its production capabilities bring together creative development, computer animation, visual effects and finishing for entertainment producers, commercial clients and cultural institutions.

The group combines three complementary areas of activity: commercial production, animation and visual effects services for entertainment, and the development of original intellectual property. This structure supports both commissioned production and projects in which the group participates as a developer or co-producer. Its original entertainment work includes originating, financing and co-producing film and series concepts for international markets.

Animation and screen production

M.A.R.K.13 provides a complete 2D and 3D animation pipeline, covering character modeling, rigging, texturing, layout, lighting and rendering. Its entertainment capabilities include full-CGI feature films, animated television series and visual effects for productions combining animation with live action. The studio also supports stereoscopic 3D, digital simulations and final compositing, bringing character work and technical image production into the same production environment.

International co-production and executive production form part of its offering alongside animation production services. The group collaborates with other production companies on feature films and television projects, with responsibilities varying between co-production, production partnership and animation delivery.

Commercial and interactive work

For advertising and corporate communications, the group develops commercial films from concept and storyboarding through post-production and final mastering. Its work encompasses product visualization, motion graphics, broadcast design and title sequences, serving automotive, industrial engineering and other commercial markets.

Beyond conventional screen production, M.A.R.K.13 creates augmented reality, virtual reality and interactive content for exhibitions, trade shows and museums. These activities extend its animation and visualization capabilities into installations and immersive experiences. Across its commercial and entertainment work, the group combines design development with technical production pipelines under its stated approach of “German Animation Engineering.”
