The quote for one commercial came back higher than you spend on advertising all year. A spot can look broadcast ready without a production budget behind it.

One brand film good enough to put at the top of your homepage, and two or three shorter cuts of it for everywhere else.
This is a one-time project, not a monthly plan. You get a finished spot between 15 and 60 seconds long, plus 2 to 3 cutdowns of it. We build it from a storyboard and shot list you approve before anything is produced.
The problem it solves
A brand film has always been the thing local businesses look at, price out, and then skip. A crew, a director, a shoot day, an editor, and a colorist is a five-figure project before anyone talks about the idea. It also takes weeks of your calendar.
So the homepage keeps the stock photo, and the launch goes out as a text post. The business looks smaller online than it is in person. The gap is not ambition. It is that the old way of making one good film costs more than one good film is worth to most local businesses.
Who this is for
Owners with one moment worth spending on: a new location opening, a product launch, or a rebrand. It might be the homepage that has had the same stock photo on it for four years. It might be a connected-TV buy that needs something better than a slideshow.
This is a single film, not a supply of content. If what you need is a steady stream of posts and ads, the Content Engine plans are cheaper per piece and built for that.
How Creative Marketing AI helps
The project starts on paper. We write the concept, then build a full storyboard and shot list: every scene, the order, the voiceover or on-screen words, and the exact wording of any claim or price. You review that before production, and you get 2 storyboard revision rounds to get it right. Locking the film at the storyboard stage is the point. Changing a scene on a sketch is free. Changing it after the film is rendered is not.
Once you approve the storyboard, we produce the film and the cutdowns, and you get 1 post-production round to use on the finished cut: timing, music, text, small fixes. Reruns beyond those rounds are billed per asset and quoted before we start.
What's included
- One finished hero spot, 15 to 60 seconds, so that your homepage and your launch lead with a film instead of a stock photo
- A written concept, full storyboard, and shot list before production: you know exactly what the film will be while changing it is still free
- 2 storyboard revision rounds, so that you can push back twice on the plan without a change order
- 1 post-production round on the finished cut, so that timing, music, and text can be fixed after you have seen it play
- Creative direction from a person on our team, not raw AI output, so that the film holds together as one piece
- A fixed one-time price of $3,500, so that the cost is known before you start rather than billed by the hour
How it works

- 4You approve the storyboard, and production starts.
- 5We produce the hero spot and the 2 to 3 cutdowns.
- 6You watch the finished cut and spend your one post-production round on it.
- 7We deliver the final files and the usage notes.
Is it the right fit?
Good fit
- A launch, an opening, a rebrand, or a homepage that needs one strong film
- Owners who want a cinematic look without a crew, a shoot day, or a five-figure production budget
- Businesses buying connected-TV or pre-roll placement and needing the creative for it
- Owners who can sit with a storyboard and give a real yes or no before production
- Businesses comfortable with AI-generated footage rather than filmed footage
Not the right fit
- Businesses that need genuine footage of their real crew, real customers, or actual job site. That requires live filming and is not part of this package
- Anyone who needs a documented, verifiable record of a real event
- Owners who want to skip the storyboard and just see finished cuts
- Campaigns built on testimonials, results, or performance claims that cannot be backed up
- Businesses that need ongoing content rather than one film, who should look at the Content Engine plans
What you provide
- The story, offer, or moment the film is for, and what you want a viewer to do after watching
- Logo, brand colors, and any wording you are required to include, such as license numbers or disclaimers
- Product photos, reference images, existing footage, or anything else you already own that we can build from
- Any price, claim, or result stated in the film, in the exact wording you will stand behind
- Approval on the storyboard and shot list before production starts
- Your feedback inside the 2 storyboard rounds and the 1 post-production round
- Confirmation of where the film will run, so the right formats and any broadcast requirements are covered
Straight talk
- The footage in this film is generated with AI. It is not filmed footage of your business, your staff, your customers, or your location.
- AI-generated people or spokespeople are always presented clearly as AI creations.
- We do not write fake testimonials, invented results, or claims you have not supplied and approved.
- Regulated work, including legal, medical, financial, and safety-sensitive claims, needs your review before it is published.
- Reruns beyond the 2 storyboard rounds and 1 post-production round are billed per asset, and we quote them before starting.
- A film is creative work. It can be made well and still not sell anything, and we do not promise a result from it.
Common questions
Is this filmed, or is it made with AI?
It is made with AI. There is no crew and no shoot day, and nobody comes to your location. We build the film from your product, your building, your logo and colors, and any photos or footage you already own. Then a person on our team writes and directs it. If you need real footage of your actual crew or customers, that is live filming and would have to be scoped separately.
How many rounds of changes do I get?
Two on the storyboard, before production, and one on the finished cut after. Reruns beyond those are billed per asset and quoted before we start.
Do I approve the idea before you make the final version?
Yes. Production does not start until you approve the storyboard and shot list. Those show every scene, the order, the words, and the wording of any claim or price.
Can you make claims about my results?
Only claims you supply and approve. We do not invent customer results, reviews, medical outcomes, legal claims, or financial promises. We cannot promise you what the film will do for sales.
Do I need a website rebuild to buy this?
No. This is a standalone one-time project. It can also be built as the hero video for a website project or connected to monthly visibility work later.
