In its animated film production the company concentrates on in-house productions featuring refreshing and out of the ordinary graphics, plus special animation techniques.

The company also enjoys getting involved in educational media projects, especially those aimed at pre-school children. For its work in this area Balance Film won the Saxony State Institute for Independent Radio and New Media’s Educational Media Award in 2004.
