CASE STUDY

Fantissima show trailer + screen animation

Phantasialand

Fantissima is more than just a dinner show — it is an experience full of magic, elegance and compelling presentations. As Germany's most successful dinner show, Fantissima delights countless visitors year after year with a unique combination of first-class cuisine and breathtaking live performance. But how do you transport this special atmosphere into a trailer without revealing too much?

Phantasialand commissioned Picture Colada to produce high-quality media, which presents Fantissima in its most fantastic form. The challenge was to stage the show in a new, creative way and make the audience curious — with a trailer that is deliberately different from the show itself.

Phantasialand's claim: A show that not only shows but inspires

Challenge & concept

The magic of Fantissima comes from surprising moments, impressive stage sets and exciting music. But a classic show trailer that reveals too much of the staging would take away the fascination. The challenge was therefore to find a visual language that captures the essence of Fantissima without already revealing all its secrets.

The solution: A show trailer that plays with cinematic aesthetics and deliberately focuses on abstract, curious images. The production was supplemented by exclusive show photography, which captures the magic in individual snapshots, and a beheaded the scenes film, which gives the audience exciting insights behind the scenes.

But that's not all: We also creatively staged the XXL screens integrated backstage. Numerous, individual animations complement the stage presentation with fantastic, surreal worlds and make the show an immersive experience.

Implementation & production process

Two intensive production days: With a six-person team and professional equipment (Gipper, Dolly, Schienen), the film was filmed directly in Phantasialand.
Flexible set concept: The creative concept was constantly developed on set — for maximum impact and efficiency.
Parallel media production: While the show trailer was being created, photo production and behind the scenes recordings took place seamlessly — perfectly coordinated.
Show-based animations: Impressive animations were created to match the music — from planetary worlds to futuristic cities of light.
Artistic details: In close collaboration with Manuela Löffelhardt, the animations were creatively developed and perfected.
Podcast insight: In COLADA CONVOS Our creative director Max talks to Manuela about shows such as Arctaris, Nobis and Fantissima — including a look behind the scenes and inspiring thoughts.
