Hire an AI filmmaker who makes work that doesn't look AI

Most AI video fails for the same reason: it looks generated before it earns attention. I direct brand films, product films, UGC ads and music videos where faces, products and visual identity stay consistent from the first shot to the final cut.

No camera crew, no casting, no studio rental — a full generative AI pipeline finished in Premiere Pro and After Effects. For DTC brands, agencies, music labels and independent filmmakers worldwide.

AI Creator for Universal Music Türkiye Suno Ambassador 17-min 4K AI documentary, endorsed by its own subject 5.0 on every public Upwork review
What I make

Four things, made end to end

Creative direction, generation, editing, motion, sound, colour and final delivery — handled by one person, so nothing gets lost between hands.

Paid social

UGC & short-form ads

Realistic AI creators for paid social, with one consistent presenter across every variant. 30+ clips produced for an EU menswear brand across 8 markets.

Campaign

Product & brand films

Full campaigns with synthetic cast, product capsule, sound design and original score. One recent campaign: 3 films, 6 products, 2 consistent characters.

Artists & labels

Music videos

Official videos for Universal Music Türkiye, holding one character across 40+ shots. Original AI scoring available as part of the same delivery.

Long-form

Documentaries

Archive reconstruction, 3D scene building, motion graphics and multilingual dubbing — including full voice-cloned dubs in a second language.

Why work gets rejected

The five failures I fix

These are the reasons AI content gets scrapped after the first review round. Every shot I deliver passes two checks: technical consistency, and whether it still feels real inside the finished sequence.

  • Characters changing between shots — a different face in every cut
  • Products warping or losing the details that matter
  • UGC that feels too polished and reads as obviously synthetic
  • Lip sync and localisation that break the original performance
  • Clips that look good alone but fall apart as a complete edit
How it runs

From brief to delivery

You get a fixed quote before anything starts, and a named milestone at every stage — no hourly surprises.

  1. Brief & fixed quote

    You send the product, the goal and any reference. I come back with what today's models can reliably deliver, what I would change, and a fixed price. 1–2 days.

  2. Look development

    Character sheets, product tests and a locked visual direction — approved before full production, so nothing is a surprise later. 2–4 days.

  3. Production

    Full generation, editing, motion, sound design, score and colour. You see a first cut and get revision rounds inside the quote. 1–2 weeks.

  4. Delivery

    Master files in every aspect ratio you need, plus platform variants and language versions. Commercial rights transfer with delivery. Same week.

Every project is quoted as a fixed price before work starts. These are typical ranges — the final number depends on how many films, products and characters are involved.

What clients say

★★★★★5.0
He was outstanding from the first cut to the last. He caught continuity and pacing problems I'd missed, handled multiple rounds of shot swaps and audio fixes without complaint, and hit every milestone early or on time. … The final cut came in exactly at target length and looked genuinely professional. I'd hire him again without hesitation, and I already plan to for my next film.

FAQ

Before you write

What does an AI brand film cost?

UGC and short-form ad packages start at $1,500. Product and brand films run $3,000–$8,000 depending on the number of films, products and characters. Music videos run $2,500–$6,000. Documentaries are quoted per project. Every project is quoted as a fixed price before work starts.

How long does production take?

UGC and short-form ad sets take 1–2 weeks. Brand and product films take 2–3 weeks. A full campaign has been delivered in 72 hours when the brief was locked — three films, six products, two consistent characters and an original score.

Do you need a film crew, actors or a studio?

No. There is no live-action camera photography, no casting, no location and no studio rental. Everything is produced through a custom generative AI pipeline and finished in Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Can you keep the same character across every shot?

Yes — this is the core of the workflow. One music video for Universal Music Türkiye held a single character across more than 40 shots, and a brand campaign held two synthetic characters across three separate films.

Can you localise an existing ad into another language?

Yes. An existing master ad can be rebuilt in another language with the same performer, the same delivery and true lip sync — no reshoot. One master ad was rebuilt in English, German and Portuguese this way.

Who owns the finished films?

You do. Commercial usage rights for the delivered films transfer to the client, and licensing terms are written into the quote before production starts.

Which tools do you use?

The pipeline changes as the models change. Currently: Veo, Kling, Seedance, Runway, Nano Banana and Midjourney for image and video, ElevenLabs for voice, Suno for original music, finished in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
