Video production in Dortmund.
Fixed-scope commercial video — recruitment, product, image, and social — clear enough to buy, crafted enough to trust.
Documentary film house. Real proof. One team.
ALN is a documentary film house based in Poznań. Our films have reached over 20 million views, aired on TVP and EWTN, and toured 12 cities in a national theatrical run. We handle strategy, cinematography, and the web home the film lives on — all under one editorial roof. That full team travels to Dortmund for every project.

What you get.
fixed scope
One clear video
A single commercial video — image, recruitment, product, or testimonial — scoped from a structured brief, shot in a lean day, and delivered with one cutdown and platform version.
16:9 · 9:16
Platform cutdowns + captions
Aspect-ratio versions and clean captions for the channels you actually use, delivered on a shared drive with a naming convention you can reuse across the team.
consistent look
Series option
Need several videos? The first establishes the grade, frame, music, and titles; every following piece inherits that reference, so a content library grows without a fresh brief each time.
The same production process, everywhere.
- 01
Brief
A structured brief defines audience, scope, language plan, and the one decision the film must move — most of it resolved before we travel.
- 02
Plan
Schedule, crew, access, and the travel block are locked together, so the days on the ground are spent shooting, not improvising.
- 03
Shoot
A lean crew, controlled light, and clean sound — with production notes that keep the edit fast once we are back in the room.
- 04
Deliver
Review links, masters, cutdowns, captions, and an archive handoff — delivered on a shared drive with a naming convention you own and can reuse.
Poznań-based. We travel to you.
We are Poznań-based and travel to Dortmund for every project. Dortmund sits at the eastern edge of the Ruhr, about 650 km west of Poznań — a day's drive or a combination of train legs. For industrial, sports-culture, and Ruhr-heritage briefs, the journey is well worth planning properly: we align the recce, the shoot, and any neighbouring NRW locations into one planned trip rather than separate visits.

01Can you cover Ruhr-area industrial sites near Dortmund?
Yes. Industrial and post-industrial subjects are a natural fit for the documentary register ALN works in — patient, observational, and detail-led. The Ruhr's density of locations means that once we are on-site in Dortmund, nearby Essen, Bochum, or Duisburg are easy to fold into the same trip schedule.
02How fast can a Video Essentials piece be delivered?
A straightforward single video can move in two to four weeks: brief, a 30-minute kickoff, a lean shoot day, then a rough cut within five working days and two feedback rounds. Travel to your city is scheduled into that window, not added on top of it.
03What is not included in a fixed-scope video?
Brand or channel strategy, scriptwriting beyond the supplied brief, commercial music licensing, social publishing, and on-shoot photography are scoped separately. We name these clearly up front so the fixed price stays a fixed price.
