Cologne, Germany
We don't just animate. We think in stories.
Lumatik Film & Animation has been around since 2011 – started as a film production company, got seduced by animation, and never looked back. We're a small, deliberately lean team of filmmakers, animators, and assorted curious minds based in Cologne. For bigger projects we draw on a network of trusted freelancers we've worked with for years. Between us: 800+ projects, clients like Audi, Porsche, Playmobil, Allianz, DLR, ESA, ARD and ZDF. We come from real film production - screenplays, short films, awards. So when a client comes to us, we don't just ask "what do you want animated?" We ask "what do you actually need your audience to understand, feel, or do?" That question has taken us from satellite visualizations for the German Aerospace Center to a character universe that powered nearly a decade of content for a telecom brand and most recently, an interactive Roman chariot race for a museum in Bavaria. We don't specialize in one lane. We specialize in finding the right one.

    Photorealistic automotive spots. Product visualizations that outperform photography. Stylized explainers that actually explain things. 3D characters and brand mascots — and the storyworlds around them, built for content marketing that sticks. We bring creative direction, not just rendering hours. Brief us and we take it from there.

  • Description
    Our CEO and Creative Director both come from film — real film, sets, cuts, the works. That background shapes how we approach every brief: we think in scenes, not slides. The result is video production that holds attention. Whether it's live action, 3D animation, VFX, or a combination — we know how to build something people actually watch.

  • Description
    In technical visualization, motion design isn't decoration - it's how complexity becomes clarity. And that job rarely fits neatly into either 2D or 3D alone. We work in both, and more often than not in both at once. Clean motion graphics when that's what the job needs. Full 3D when it calls for depth and texture. And a single team that handles both without a seam.

  • Description
    Most corporate scripts are structured arguments with a voiceover on top. We write differently - because we come from film, where the story has to carry its own weight without a presenter explaining what you just saw. We transfer that discipline to every brief: product films, explainers, image campaigns, science content. And when a client wants to go further - branded short films, serialized content, characters with an actual arc - that's where we're most at home. Scripts that work on paper. And on screen.

  • Description
    Audi. Porsche. Playmobil. We've produced ads for brands that know exactly what quality looks like - and won't accept less. Our focus is creative production: TV spots and social content, primarily in 3D animation and VFX. We don't do media buying or ad placement. What we do is make the thing that has to stop someone mid-scroll or hold attention through a commercial break. We work directly with brands and alongside agencies. Either way, the job is the same: an ad that earns its airtime.

  • Description
    We follow AI developments in our field closely - the tools, the workflows, where things are heading, and what the legal and ethical implications are for creative production. Our position is straightforward: AI is a tool, not a replacement. It can accelerate research, support concepting, and handle parts of a pipeline that used to eat time without adding creative value. What it can't do is replace the judgment, the taste, and the responsibility that come with a human director, animator, or writer. We use it where it makes us better. We don't use it to take humans out of the process.
