AI you can’t see.
GenAI content is flooding everything, and audiences spot the generic look instantly. We use AI differently: as a tool, with a director in charge. We shoot with real people when closeness matters, and we generate scenes, worlds and entire spots when it serves the story. The result looks like film, not like a prompt.
Brands that want AI speed and AI prices without their film looking like everyone else’s. And teams whose compliance department wants to know what happens to the material.

Shot for real where it matters
People buy from people, and candidates believe the people they’d be working with. When closeness, trust and faces carry the story, we shoot with real people in real places. No stock footage, no avatars you can tell are avatars. That’s not nostalgia; it’s what has measurably worked in our campaigns.
Generated where it serves the story
- Scenes and worlds that can’t be shot: places, eras, scales, the inside of a product
- Backgrounds, set extensions, weather and light that make the shoot bigger than it was
- Fully generated spots, product films and social clips when speed and budget call for it
- People we enhance or supplement with AI: surroundings, clothing, lip-synced language versions, supporting characters. Always agreed with you, always signed off
What makes AI videos all look the same isn’t the tool; it’s the lack of direction. With us, generated images get the same treatment as shot footage: concept, casting the looks, grading, sound, editing. That’s why the result looks like your brand, not like the model.
Behind the scenes: where AI is always at work
- Concept: research, moodboards, previs and storyboards in hours instead of days
- Editing: transcription, rough-cut suggestions, picking the best takes
- Image: clean-up, retouching, stabilisation, upscaling
- Language: subtitles and language versions in any language you need, each version signed off by native speakers
- Variants: cutdowns, formats and hook variants for ads and social
On average, AI accounts for 37% of the working time on each project. That’s why our fixed prices are where they are.
In safe hands: what happens to your material
Your raw footage stays in a European cloud. It isn’t used to train third-party models; we only use tools with business contracts that guarantee this. Every use of AI in the project is documented: with the delivery, you get an overview of which steps were AI-assisted and which weren’t. If your compliance team has questions, Julian Pohl, our AI & Data Lead, answers them directly.
Labelling
Wherever we create or alter people, scenes, backgrounds or graphics with AI, we tell you beforehand, and we label it when your guidelines or the law require it. You always know what was shot and what was generated.
Julian Pohl, AI & Data Lead
Julian is responsible for tool selection, data security and the studio’s AI workflows.
Three questions
Can you generate our video entirely with AI?
Yes. We also produce fully generated spots, product films and social clips, with concept, direction and grading. Before we start, we tell you honestly what a purely generated video does well and where a shoot adds more.
Will our material be used for training?
No. We only work with tools whose contracts rule this out, and we store everything in the EU.
Why does AI lower your prices but not your quality?
Because with us, AI saves time, not decisions. Concept, direction, grading and sound remain handcrafted, whether shot or generated.
