Promotional Video
Cinematic advertising and short AI-films
For brands, agencies and independent stories
I make cinematic advertising and short films with generative image and video.
The work starts with an idea, not with a tool: a world, characters and light that stay consistent from shot to shot.
Same method for a product film, a space, or a short story.

How I work
A film starts with a line. The world is built to carry it.
Aurelia — The Taste of Light
This is not a string of pretty shots of wine. The brief I set myself was one sentence: the taste of light.
If the wine tastes like light, the film cannot be dark, heavy or loud. So the world is a vineyard in high summer, late light over the hills, pale green in the leaves and in the glass. A woman in a thin white dress walks the rows — not as a model beside the product, but as the same idea in a body: light, air, ease.
That world is not one prompt. It is a line, then a slogan, then prototypes of the bottle, the dress, the valley, the light. Dozens of stills before a second of motion. Then the film — and the hard part: the bottle, the type, the green of the glass have to be the same in every frame, or the sentence falls apart.
The fabric moves like the pour. The leaf holds the sun. That is the method. An idea first. Then a world that can hold it. Then the labour of keeping that world consistent.
Films and shorts.
Not for a product. For a story that has to land.

Eighty years of war, told as one visual thread.

Sands of Time
Philosophical short
Scorpion, desert, pyramid, hourglass. Time, until it is only sand.
How a film is quoted
Fixed before production. Different when the world is different.
Every project is quoted individually. The number is fixed before production starts — after a short brief, not after the work is done. A fifteen-second film can cost more than another of the same length. The difference is the world that has to stay consistent.
What shapes the price
- The line — whether the idea and script already exist, or have to be found.
- Length and scenes — ten seconds, three shots is not thirty seconds, ten scenes.
- Characters and continuity — the same face, dress, room, bottle, from shot to shot.
- The object — how tightly pack, logo and type must match the real thing.
- Motion — camera, bodies, transformations, effects.
- Voice and lip-sync — if the film speaks.
- Deliverables — 16:9, 3:4, 1:1, languages, cutdowns.
- Revisions — how many rounds the world can still change.
- Use — site and organic, or paid campaign.
One-off films are priced per project. Ongoing social films can run as a monthly collaboration — more pieces, a lower cost per film.
