Slaughterhouse GmbH Visual Manufacturing

Slaughterhouse GmbH Visual Manufacturing is a German post-production studio serving advertising agencies, directors and corporate clients. Founded in 2007, the business combines editing, color grading, visual effects, CGI, sound and production coordination within a full-service post-production offering. Its work focuses on commercial campaigns and motion-picture post-production, with physical studios in Hamburg and Berlin.

The company's name reflects its origins in Hamburg's historic former cattle slaughterhouse complex. Expansion to Berlin followed in 2009, extending its facilities and client services to agencies and filmmakers in the capital. Its role centers on shaping and finishing filmed material through visual and audio post-production.

From editorial to final delivery

Slaughterhouse coordinates projects through dedicated post-production producing, connecting editorial decisions with grading, effects and sound. Its visual work encompasses offline and online editing, multilayer compositing, cleanup, beauty retouching and photorealistic CGI. On-set supervision and previsualization support planning and capture before projects reach the finishing stage.

Color grading combines in-house talent with access to remote grading through a Berlin-based partnership with MPC. Sound design, voiceover recording, mixing and bespoke music composition form another part of the offering, allowing picture and audio work to be coordinated within the wider post-production process. Digital data management and long-term film archiving extend the studio's services beyond the immediate production schedule.

Commercial focus

Automotive advertising is a significant part of the studio's work, alongside campaigns in consumer goods, food and beverage, fashion, telecommunications and other commercial markets. Its portfolio includes work for Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Hyundai, as well as consumer brands such as Haribo, Kärcher, Vodafone and Zalando. These projects span brand launches, product campaigns and broadcast advertising.

The business operates within the Cerberus Holding group. Its production approach combines internal post-production capabilities with specialist collaboration where projects require additional CGI, visual effects or audio expertise. This supports a service range covering creative image development, technical finishing and the management of production assets.
