Our work in motion.

AI can generate a clip. Making it work for a brand is another thing entirely. We treat every AI video production like a film shoot, with concepting, scripting, storyboarding, editing, grading and sound design, so the finished piece is consistent, on brand and ready for broadcast or social. It’s how we help brands, agencies and startups launch bigger ideas.

AI makes bigger ideas possible. Our experience makes them work. We enhance live-action shoots, open up new VFX workflows and give every project unlimited creative freedom, so you can do more than ever before. Let’s Defy.

What is AI video production?

AI video production uses generative AI to create video content such as adverts, brand films and social content, shaped by the same creative process as a traditional shoot. At Defy Studios, every AI film is planned, directed and finished by experienced filmmakers, so you get the creative freedom of AI with the quality and control of a professional production.

What types of AI video do you create?

We create AI adverts, TV commercials, brand films, product videos, social media content and campaign assets for brands and agencies. Each one can be pure AI or combined with live action, CGI and aerial footage, depending on what the project needs.

Is AI video good enough for TV?

Yes. Everything we make is finished to a standard that looks right on TV. If your film is going to broadcast, we can also edit and deliver it to broadcast spec on request.

Will my product look right?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can build your product in 3D first, refine the images we give the AI in Photoshop so every detail matches, or fix anything in post-production compositing. However we get there, the finished film shows your product exactly as it should look.

Can you combine AI with live action, CGI or drone footage?

Yes, and it’s what sets our work apart. Our in-house teams cover video production, CGI and 3D animation and drone filming, so we can film real footage, build elements in 3D and blend them seamlessly with AI in the same film.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

Every project is different, so cost and timings depend on the scope. We can work to your timelines, or give you an accurate estimate once we’ve received your brief.
