Thanks to their upfront support and commitment we were able to build the Volume, making 1899 a pioneer title for Germany and the region. The infrastructure is a cutting-edge innovation for the German production landscape and could also bring enormous creative benefits for filmmakers and creatives worldwide.

The virtual production stage infrastructure will create new opportunities, and we're fully committed to bringing these technological advances to the German entertainment industry.
Odar and Friese once again join forces with exceptional talent behind the camera known from the DARK universe such as director of photography Nikolaus Summerer, set designer Udo Kramer, hair & make up designer Christina Wagner or composer Ben Frost and they are working with new collaborators such as casting director Lucy Bevan, Oscar nominated costume designer Bina Daigeler and Framestores integrated visualisation, virtual production and VFX teams supervised by Christian Kaestner.
