Story-led brand films and ads, produced with new AI tooling on a sane budget.
AI Filmmaking in Dunedin works inside a market where reputation moves fast and everyone eventually hears about everyone. Dunedin blends a large student and university economy with health, education, manufacturing and a quietly strong tech and creative sector, and in a tight-knit city like this, a well-made brand film gets talked about in a way it might not in a bigger, more anonymous market.
University-adjacent, health and education clients make up a large share of our Dunedin work, alongside heritage brands that have been trading in the city for decades and want a film that respects that history rather than reinventing the brand overnight. The hybrid approach lets these businesses get a genuinely well-produced film without needing the volume of a national campaign to justify the spend.
We shoot around Dunedin and wider Otago, including the city's distinctive heritage architecture and student precincts where that texture is part of the story.
Reputation travels fast in a tight-knit market like Dunedin, so a film needs to be accurate and honest, not just polished.
University and student-economy clients often need content that works across an academic year's recruitment or intake cycle.
Heritage and long-established Dunedin brands usually want the film to respect existing brand history rather than a full reinvention.
Otago's health and education sectors often need explainer-style video more than brand-story film.
Cinema-quality brand films at a fraction of historical cost
Faster turnaround, no agency-of-record layers
Footage and assets you own outright

Yes, this is a regular part of our Dunedin work, often explainer or recruitment-style video timed against the academic year rather than a standard brand film.
Yes, for heritage Dunedin brands we usually build the film around the existing identity and history rather than pushing a rebrand, since that continuity is often exactly what the brief is protecting.
It changes the honesty bar. Word travels fast in Dunedin, so we make sure every claim in the film is something the business can actually stand behind before it goes out.
