AI presenter videos

A presenter who never needs a second take

Someone talking to camera is the simplest film there is, and the most expensive one to keep making: a studio day for every update, every language, every new product line. A built presenter turns that into a script change. The work is making them someone people listen to rather than someone they notice.

Takes 2 minutes. No call, no sales pitch.

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.

1

Built, not filmed — and nobody else's face

The presenter is designed for you from scratch: age, voice, wardrobe, the way they hold a pause. They do not resemble a real, identifiable person, so there is no likeness to license and nobody who can withdraw consent next year.

2

The same person in every video

One character sheet, used for every film you make with them. Episode twelve looks like episode one, which is the whole point of having a face for a brand rather than a different stranger each time.

3

Any language, the same performance

A new market is a translated script and a new voice track, not a new casting. Lip movement is rebuilt for each language, and subtitles come burned in or as a separate file.

4

Updates that cost a script, not a day

Prices changed, the feature shipped, the offer ends Friday. Because nothing was filmed, a correction is a re-render of the lines that moved, with everything else left exactly as it was.

Where a talking head starts to look rendered

Long unbroken monologues. Past about twenty seconds in one take, small things accumulate — a blink rhythm that is too even, a smile that arrives a frame early, hands that gesture without meaning anything. Each is minor; together they are the uncanny feeling people cannot name.

What we do instead

We cut the way a good corporate film is cut anyway: short takes, a change of angle on the turn of a thought, product and B-roll over the lines that explain rather than persuade. Hands stay mostly out of frame unless the gesture is designed.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 presenter videos: questions

Is it legal to use a presenter who doesn't exist?

Yes. The person is designed rather than recorded, so there is no likeness to license. What we will not do is build someone who resembles a real, identifiable person without their written permission.

Can the presenter be our own CEO or a real employee?

Only with their written consent, and then we usually film them for half a day and build around that footage. Recreating a real person from photos is not something we do without a signed release.

How many languages can one video come in?

As many as you need. Each language is a translated script, a voice track and rebuilt lip movement on the same performance, so the presenter looks and moves the same in all of them.

Can we keep using the same presenter next year?

Yes, that is what the character sheet is for. The presenter is yours to keep using, and every new film is made against the same sheet so the face does not drift between videos.

What does a presenter video cost?

From $1,400 for thirty seconds with your script. Extra languages are priced per version and cost far less than the first, because the performance already exists.
