Any shot you can describe.

No crew. No set. No studio budget.

Ghost Unit is an AI film studio. We make commercials, effects shots and full productions, frame by frame, to a director’s standard.

SC. 2 — The work

Launch spot · 60 s

Again.

Our launch spot had no crew, no set and no location. The Director kept saying one word until the shot was right. Every frame below is from that spot.

TK. 1Ext. Avenue — Dawn
A wall of green water hangs frozen over an empty city avenue at dawn, a bus stopped beneath it.

A wave takes the city.

The script, as written

TK. 2Same street. Different century.
The same avenue rebuilt as an 1890 street: brick buildings, gas lamps and wet cobblestones at sunrise.

Make it 1890.

Period street, gas lamps, carriages

TK. 3Ext. Avenue, 1890
A humpback whale breaches out of the flooded 1890 street behind the Director, who sits in his chair reading the script.

Put a whale in it.

One sentence, one creature

TK. 4The packshot
A gold bottle of Tidemark soda stands in a shower of warm bokeh light.

Print it.

Tidemark is a spec brand made for the spot

SC. 5 — Process

Brief to delivery

How a shot gets made.

You approve every stage before the next one starts, so nothing moves until it looks right.

  1. 01

    The brief.

    “A wave takes the city.”

    Describe the shot. One sentence is enough to start.

  2. 02

    The look.

    “Make it 1890.”

    We cast the characters and build the world as stills. You sign off before anything moves.

  3. 03

    The takes.

    “Again.”

    We render, review and go again until the shot holds up on a big screen.

  4. 04

    The finish.

    “Print it.”

    Edit, sound and grade, delivered in the formats you need.
