AI Brand Film That Turns a Design House Archive Into a Digital Book

An Italian film production company needed a 90–120 second film for its long-standing client, a design house known for cars and yachts, ahead of a September yacht show. There was no budget for a shoot, so we produced a 109-second AI brand film: a digital book that opens on a century of design.

Client & Market Context

A Production Company With a Design House Brief and No Shoot Budget

Our client is an Italian video production company. Its long-term customer, a design house famous for its cars and yachts, asked it for an AI brand film in the style of a digital book, and the company brought the job to us because it does not produce AI video itself.

Telling a Century of Design in Under Two Minutes, Without a Camera

The hard part of AI brand video production for a heritage brand is that every frame has to look like the brand, not like a generic AI clip. The film had to answer four questions.

Free guide: a launch uses $8,550 of visuals and orders $20,910

The visuals above were made for a launch, a campaign or a funding round. Orders like these tend to grow from the feature list: every screen, every device, a long explainer. In our priced composite the order came to $20,910, while the visuals that did the work cost $8,550. The guide gives you the priced order, the five items worth making, including one CGI advertising stunt, and the short brief to send.

What is an AI brand film?
An AI brand film is a short brand video in which every shot is generated and animated with AI image and video models instead of filmed. It uses the brand’s own photos, products and archive as references, so the result looks cinematic and on brand without a crew, locations or a shoot.
How is an AI video made from photos and a storyboard?
We start with a shot-by-shot storyboard, generate a still for every shot from your photos and approve the stills with you. Then each still is animated into a clip of three to six seconds, and the clips are edited into one film. Here, 36 shots became a 109-second brand film.
Can AI video keep real yachts and products accurate?
Yes, if the references are good. We generate each still from photos of the real yacht or product, check hulls, windows, liveries and logos against them and regenerate anything that drifts. Where accuracy is critical, we combine AI shots with 3D renders made from CAD models.
How long can an AI brand film be?
Most AI brand films run from 30 seconds to two minutes. This one was briefed at 90 to 120 seconds and delivered at 109. Length depends on the number of shots: each animated clip lasts a few seconds, so a longer film simply needs a longer storyboard and more clips.
Does an AI brand film include music and sound design?
Only if you need it. This brief asked for video only, because the production company handled sound for its client. We can deliver a silent picture edit for your own team, or cut the film to a music track you supply, so the timing of every page turn follows the music.
Do you work with production companies and agencies?
Yes. This film was made for an Italian video production company working for its own client, and we often work white-label for agencies and studios. We produce remotely for teams in Europe, the United States, the Gulf and Australia, with online reviews at every stage.
