AI video · Budgets
'How much does an AI video cost?' is the question we're asked most. The honest answer is that it depends on five things, and once you know them you can shape a brief to fit almost any budget.
1. Length and number of shots
Every shot is generated, selected, refined and finished. A 30-second spot with 15 shots is a very different job from a 5-minute film with 120.
2. Character and product consistency
Keeping a person or product identical across many shots takes reference building and review. Hero products often need real photography composited in for accuracy.
3. Story and script
Writing is cheap compared with production, and it's the biggest driver of whether the film works. We never skip it.
4. Post-production
Editing, grading, sound design, music and mixing are the same as live action. Original music and voice add cost; library music reduces it.
5. Versions and formats
This is where AI shines: extra languages, markets and aspect ratios cost a fraction of a re-shoot.
If you share your goal, length and channels, we'll give you a fixed, milestone-based proposal.
