recom film

recom film is a German moving-image production, CGI and visual-effects studio based in the Stuttgart metropolitan area. Working across commercial, automotive and entertainment projects, it combines live-action production with high-end computer graphics, editorial, colour finishing and visual-effects delivery.

Its automotive work includes confidential vehicle productions that use stand-in cars during filming before photorealistic digital vehicle replacement. The studio also produces full-CG environments, digital matte paintings, set extensions, motion tracking, compositing and interactive turntable imagery. Its production infrastructure supports secure workflows for unreleased vehicle programmes under TISAX information-security protocols.

Production and post-production

The studio provides services spanning concept development and technical directing through on-set VFX supervision, 3D CGI, animation, matchmoving, compositing, clean-up, editorial and finishing. It uses a real-time CGI workflow built on Unreal Engine and has pursued generative-AI and digital-twin research alongside its established production pipeline.

Automotive and mobility remain central markets, alongside advertising, consumer technology, industrial goods, luxury and beverage brands. The entertainment division has also delivered VFX and post-production for feature films and episodic productions, including Silver and the Book of Dreams, Balko Tenerife, Der König von Palma and Stories Beyond the Grid.

Background

recom film was established around 2014 as the moving-image operation associated with the wider RECOM organization, drawing on that group's background in prepress, photography and high-end retouching. The company was formally incorporated in Stuttgart in 2015 and is part of RECOM GROUP.

The studio is led by managing partners Manuel Hummer, Executive Producer, and Andreas Justus Burz, Director of Photography and Creative Lead. Its work spans automotive campaigns for marques including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Genesis, Renault, Mazda and NIO, as well as film, streaming and broadcast projects.
