See the compliance postureMost launch budgets buy the wrong kind of film.
Think about the last launch film you sat through. The sterile product demo. The talking-head deck read aloud to a camera. The LED-volume shoot that ate a quarter of the budget and still looked like everyone else's. Did it change how the market saw your category? A launch film has exactly one job: make people feel that something just shifted. Most of them make people feel nothing. That's the bar we build against, and most of the industry isn't even trying to clear it.
How we work.
01
Discovery.
What's the launch you're trying to land? Who needs to feel something different about your category? We start with the moment, not the medium.
02
Remote-first capture.
We ship a three thousand dollar kit, coach a thirty-minute Riverside call, and you record locally in 4K. No travel days on your invoice.
03
AI-hybrid post.
Compositing, 8K virtual environments, edit, and sound design on Emissary Stack. Usually a week or two, depending on the project.
Three flat-fee tiers. No hourly. No surprise change orders.

Four principles we don't negotiate.
01
Craft before tool.
We direct, cast, and light every frame before AI ever touches it. The pipeline is the engine. The film is the work.
02
Provenance by default.
We embed Adobe Content Credentials in every export, so the file carries its own provenance long after the launch is over.
03
Consent is a requirement, not a formality.
We don't put a face on screen until that face has signed for it. Same standard for live-action talent, same standard for any AI-composited likeness.
04
Full IP assignment, zero data retention.
We hand you the raw, the composite, and the final master. We keep nothing on our servers, in our prompts, or in our model context.

Questions, answered.
- Who is this for?
- Marketing and brand leaders at Series B and later cybersecurity, AI infrastructure, and enterprise SaaS companies. If you own a launch, a category moment, or a flagship stage event, you're who we build for. See who we build for
- What does an AI-hybrid launch film cost versus a traditional shoot?
- Our Flagship Launch Film is a flat $40K. The same film on an LED volume or a full live-action crew is usually $80K and up, once you count logistics, travel, and stage rental. We get you there by moving the heavy lifting into post, not onto your invoice. See the pricing
- Can we get an enterprise NDA before scoping?
- Yes. We provide a mutual NDA before any scoping conversation if you want one, and our default contract assigns full IP to you and retains zero data after delivery. See rights and compliance
- What AI tools do you use?
- We name the specific tools used on your project, in writing, per tier. Nothing is a black box, and every cut ships with C2PA provenance embedded. See the AI-hybrid pipeline
- How fast is the typical turnaround?
- It depends on the project. Most Flagship films take a week or two of post, after a remote-first capture day you can schedule inside a week. We set your delivery date with you before you sign, instead of posting a number we can't promise on every project. See the process
