About

Twenty years of building immersive worlds

Softmachine is a Munich studio that does both films and events — because to us it's one craft. What we learn staging a live show feeds the films; what we invent for the dome shapes the next event. One team, two strands, no seams.

How we work

How we work

A single method carries a project from first idea to final frame.

01

Listen & frame

We start with the story you need to tell and the room it lives in — audience, venue, ambition. Everything downstream answers to that brief.

02

Design the experience

Concept art, previs and a technical plan come together so you can see the show before we build it — and so nothing falls between disciplines.

03

Produce in-house

Content, show production, projection and engineering run under one roof. One team owns the whole pipeline, so the vision survives contact with reality.

04

Stage & deliver

We commission on site, run the show and hand over cleanly — with the masters, documentation and support to run it again.

The people behind the work

A small, senior team that has been doing this together for two decades.
