Process
How it gets made
How a project runs from brief to final cut.
Human + AI + Human
From brief to final cut
Brief. Build. Out the door.
Brief
You bring the brief. We ask the questions a traditional production company skips: where this runs, and what the viewer needs to do after watching.
The output is a written creative direction and a shot concept. Success criteria get locked in writing at this stage. You approve both before production starts. Nothing's built until the direction is locked.
Build
Production doesn't wait for a location scout or a talent hold. The AI pipeline runs parallel to our editors, which is how first cuts land in 3 to 5 days instead of the 4 to 8 weeks a traditional shoot requires.
Editors are in the lead the whole time. AI handles the parts that slow traditional production down: rough assembly, initial color, asset generation. Human judgment handles the parts that make the difference: whether the performance lands, whether the story moves.
Out the Door
You review a formatted cut. Revisions move fast because the direction was locked at the brief stage, not renegotiated mid-edit.
When you approve, we'll deliver everything in the formats you need for broadcast and digital. The project closes when you say it does.
How it gets made
Human + AI + Human
01 · Brief & pre-production
You bring the brief. We take it through creative pre-production and lock the full creative with you: concept, script, storyboard, casting and look. You know exactly what your production will look like.
02 · Production
Our AI artists generate the shots and work with our editors, feeding the edit as it comes together. These are our shoot days: every scene built, lit and directed in-house. No locations to book, no weather delays, no travel logistics.
03 · Post, mastering & delivery
Editorial, color and the sound mix, then mastering, then delivery at spec: every version checked and shipped ready for broadcast, CTV, social, cinema or the LED wall.
People set the direction. Our AI artists carry the generative work, shot by shot. People decide what ships.
The clock
- Brief + build · Days 1–2
- First cut · Day 3
- Revisions · Days 4–6
- Delivered · Day 7
First cuts in 3 to 5 days. The traditional route takes 4 to 8 weeks.
What we make for you is yours.
Based on The Stillness, a :30 broadcast spot for Farrell Air Conditioning (June 2026): production start to broadcast masters in 7 days. Larger projects can take longer, depending on what the client needs. The traditional track is a typical 8-week :30 schedule.

Questions
What is AI video production?
Studio video where AI generates the footage instead of a physical shoot. Humans direct the creative and polish every frame to broadcast quality.
How fast can you deliver?
First cuts in 3 to 5 days. Traditional production runs 4 to 8 weeks for the same output.
Will it look like AI slop?
No. Human editors finish every frame. If it does not match broadcast quality, we do not ship it.
Can you match my brand guidelines?
Yes. We build a locked style guide during onboarding. Every deliverable matches your typography, color, voice, and tone, across hundreds of variations if you need it at scale.
