AI commercials
Commercials you can actually run
A spot is only finished when it clears the platform, fits every placement and does not get pulled for music. We deliver the master, the cutdowns and the paperwork together, so media can book against it the same week.

brief to delivered master
Both numbers are real and they are not a discount and a price. The floor is what the pass buys at its simplest — your script, one location, one character, no VFX layer. The typical range is the same film with the things most briefs actually ask for. What moves the number, itemised.
Every ratio, from one build
16:9 for TV and YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 for feed, and a six-second bumper. They are recut from the same film rather than stretched, so the product still reads at the smallest size.
Music that will not get you pulled
Licensed for paid use in the markets you name, cleared before delivery. A spot taken down mid-flight costs more than the spot did.
Twelve versions by Friday
The expensive part of testing creative is reshooting it. Here it is a re-render: swap the headline, the endcard, the product colour or the setting, and keep everything else identical so the test actually measures one variable.
Broadcast-safe on delivery
Legal levels, correct frame rate, clean audio, and Content Credentials embedded in the file so the provenance travels with it. Some platforms now ask.
What this usually looks like
What does not survive a broadcast QC
Fine repeating patterns — pinstripe, dense grille, fabric weave — can shimmer once the file is compressed for TV, and a generated crowd will not survive a frame-by-frame legal check if the film makes a claim about real people. Neither shows on a laptop, which is why they get caught late.
What we do instead
We check the master at broadcast bitrate before delivery, not after, and design pattern-heavy wardrobe out of the shot list at storyboard stage rather than fixing it in the grade.
The part nobody shows you
How we keep the AI invisible.
The reason most AI video looks cheap is that it ships the way it came out. Ours doesn't. Drag the handle to see the difference one pass makes.
- 01
We start from pictures, not prompts
Before anything is generated we build a reference board: your product from every side, your palette, the exact light. The model gets shown what to make, not told.
- 02
The same person in every shot
A character sheet comes first — face, wardrobe, height, the way they stand. Every shot is generated against it, so nobody's jaw changes between cuts.
- 03
A person cuts every frame
Generation gives us material, not a film. An editor picks the takes, fixes hands, paints out the tells, and tracks your logo in so it sits on the surface.
- 04
Colour and sound by people
One grade across the whole film, so the shots belong to each other. Sound designed to picture, not pulled from a library and stretched to fit.
Plain pricing / four passes
What it costs
Four ways to work with us, all in dollars, all on the page. Every number here is a floor, not an average: it buys the simplest honest version of that job — your script, one location, one character, no VFX layer. Add a character, a second language, or a look nobody has built before, and it moves. The calculator prices your actual idea in two minutes.

No idea what your budget should be?
Price your actual idea, not a category
Five questions about what you're making. You get a real number and a scope in writing. Two minutes, no call, and nobody phones you afterwards.
- Payment
- 50% to start, 50% on delivery. No invoice before you have seen a frame.
- Changes
- Two rounds on every project. A third if we got the brief wrong — that one is on us.
- Rights
- The finished film and the source files are yours, in full, for any use.
All prices are ballpark. The final number moves with the script, the number of characters and how complicated the idea is. You get the exact figure in writing before anyone starts.
AI commercials: questions
Can an AI-made ad run on television?
Yes. We deliver broadcast-safe masters at the frame rate and levels your broadcaster asks for. The constraint is usually clearance and music rights, not the technique, and both are handled before delivery.
Will Meta or Google reject it for being AI?
No platform bans AI-made advertising outright. Several ask you to disclose it, which is why we embed Content Credentials in the delivered files. What gets ads rejected is uncleared music and unsupported claims — the same as always.
How many cutdowns do I get?
Vertical, square and a six-second bumper are included in the Campaign step. More placements are cheap once the film exists, because they are recuts and not new builds.
How fast can a spot be ready?
Ten to fifteen days at our normal pace. Four to six days if you need it this week, at about a third more. We will tell you if the deadline is not realistic rather than take the money and miss it.
Can you make several versions for A/B testing?
Yes, and that is where this technique pays for itself. Variants are re-renders of the same build, so everything except the variable you are testing stays identical.
Let's price your film
Two minutes, five questions, a real number at the end. No call unless you want one.
