Who you work with
Gabriel Brien, founder
Creative director and AI filmmaker based in Greater Montreal. I put AI and creative work at the forefront of every project, after 3 years of production experimentation with generative AI and thousands of hours spent testing what holds up on screen and what doesn’t.
You work with me directly. No account manager relaying your notes: the person on the call is the person directing your project.

FAQ
Common questions before a first project.
Who owns the finished project?
Rights in the deliverables are assigned in the written agreement for your project, which you see before you pay. Unless that agreement says otherwise, we keep the right to show the work in our portfolio.
Will it look real?
We direct every shot and review every output before it reaches you. Anything that doesn't hold up is regenerated, not delivered. You then have your revision rounds to adjust what you want.
Isn’t making an AI video quick and easy?
No. A high-quality video of about 2 minutes takes more than 15 hours of work and a whole set of different, interconnected tools. Making realistic, credible content is not as simple as it looks: that work is the difference between a video that convinces and one that looks generated.
How long does a project take?
You get a first version in less than a week after the scope is approved. Final delivery then depends on your revision rounds: the faster your feedback, the sooner it ships. Larger campaigns follow the timeline set in their written scope.
How much does a video cost?
Our prices start at $14 USD per second of final video. Every package, film rate and service is on our Pricing page. Payment is 50% to start and 50% on delivery.
How many revisions are included?
Two rounds on the Starter package, three on a campaign. Any extra round is quoted before work on it starts.
Do you disclose that the video is made with AI?
Yes. Every proposal states that the work is made with AI tools, so you know how your content is produced before you pay. We never use copyrighted images or music, or a real person's face or voice without their written consent. Read our responsible AI standards.
Can you use our own photos, footage and logo?
Yes. Your brand assets and product photos are used only for your project, and some projects combine AI-generated scenes with real footage you already have.
Tell us what you need to show.
A 15-minute call is enough to scope a first video and give you a fixed price.
