Narrative music videos
for release-ready artists.

Finished track. Release date. Clear direction. We make the video. Not abstract visuals. Not prompt experiments.

send track → lock package → get your video

[ start brief ] [ proof cut ]

from $200. start with a proof cut to see the pipeline on your track before committing.

best fit

Independent artists, managers, and small labels with a finished track, visual references, and a real launch window.

not a fit

Vague “surprise me” requests, unfinished songs, no release context, or open-ended experimentation with no package decision.

entry path

Start with a single if the release is ready. Use the paid proof cut when the track is real but confidence in the direction is still low.

The Problem

Music videos cost $5K-$50K. Most release-ready artists cannot justify that for every single.

Tracks with video outperform audio-only releases. But traditional production costs $5K-$50K. Most independent artists skip it entirely.

Existing AI tools usually produce abstract visuals or effects on footage. That is not the same thing as a release asset.

How It Works

  1. Send your track

    MP3 or WAV. Any genre. Any length.

  2. We lock the direction

    Your track, references, and constraints determine the package, narrative direction, and what the video should avoid.

  3. We produce the video

    Characters, scenes, and continuity are generated inside the scoped package rather than through open-ended experimentation.

  4. Get the release asset

    Landscape for YouTube and vertical for TikTok/Reels, synced to your music. Delivery lands in days once inputs lock.

Portfolio

See proof objects, not moodboards.

Helicoptero — narrative music video production
helicoptero client-style single // deterministic narrative

Fast-turn narrative with character continuity across wides, close-ups, and multi-format delivery.

 The Clairvoyant — long-form tribute showcase
the clairvoyant showcase tribute // 24-shot continuity stress test

Full-song narrative arc with character persistence, world shifts, and escalation across 24 shots.
Packages

Pick the package that matches your release.

Pricing follows package and delivery scope, not follower count. The offer is constrained on purpose so release-ready buyers can qualify fast.

proof cut

bounded validation before a full release package.

Best for buyers with a real track who want one short proof object before committing to a full single.

  • 15-20 second proof cut
  • 1 direction, 1 revision round
  • credited toward a single if you continue
[ scope proof cut ] →
single

one release, one narrative video.

Best for a lead single that needs a clear visual story fast.

  • 1 track intake
  • YouTube + vertical delivery
  • 1 structural revision round
[ scope single ] →
EP batch

multiple tracks with visual continuity.

Best for artists planning a sequence of releases with shared direction.

  • 3-track scoped batch
  • shared visual language across releases
  • turnaround scheduled by rollout plan
[ scope EP batch ] →
launch pack

flagship video plus supporting cuts.

Best for a release push that needs one hero asset and supporting launch content.

  • hero music video
  • social cutdowns for launch week
  • scoped after brief review

Boundaries

What is included.

formats

Landscape master for YouTube and vertical cut for short-form delivery are included in the single package.

revisions

One structural revision round is included. Open-ended revision loops are not part of the offer.

proof cut

Use the proof cut when confidence is low. It is a paid validation step, not a free speculative teaser.

turnaround

Singles land in days once inputs are complete. Batch and launch scopes after brief review.

not included

Undefined creative exploration, missing references, or “surprise me” direction with no release context.

Scoping examples

What a strong production brief looks like.

Strong briefs need enough detail to lock package, direction, and turnaround.

single / release-week push

Fast, specific, ready to scope.

track + BPM Private SoundCloud link. 96 BPM alt-pop single with a slow-build chorus and a hard stop at 2:54.
reference Want the emotional pacing of The Weeknd's "Out of Time" video, but grounded in midnight motel interiors instead of glossy city nightlife.
constraints No performance shots, no neon cyberpunk, no comedy beats. Keep one female lead visually consistent across wides and close-ups.
delivery context YouTube premiere Friday, vertical cut needed for teaser posts on Wednesday.

Why this works: package, timing, tone, and constraints are clear enough to scope directly.

launch pack / campaign rollout

Enough detail to build a release system.

track set 1 hero single plus 3 teaser cuts from the same EP. Main track is 128 BPM melodic trap with a late chorus lift.
reference Shared world should feel closer to a dystopian fashion film than a club visualizer. Reference palette: steel blue, sodium amber, clean silhouettes.
constraints Need continuity across all assets. Avoid surreal morphing, avoid crowd scenes, keep props minimal so short-form cutdowns stay legible.
delivery context Hero video for YouTube on launch day, three vertical support assets scheduled across release week.

Why this works: rollout objective is explicit, so scope is clear from the first pass.

common questions

what is a proof cut?

a shorter, bounded version of the full video on your actual track. it validates the pipeline output before you commit to the full package. costs less, delivers fast, and the cost credits toward the full project if you proceed.

who owns the video?

you do. once delivered, the video is yours for any use. we may reference it as portfolio proof unless you request otherwise.

what if the result does not match my vision?

the pipeline runs on your inputs. stronger briefs produce stronger output. revision scope is defined before work starts. if the brief is vague, we flag it before production, not after.

Requirements for ingest

Submissions missing these inputs are not scoped.

  • BPM or tempo range
  • Reference track or visual reference
  • Genre constraints and what to avoid
  • Delivery context: release date, platform, or launch goal
package
Next step: we review your track and confirm package fit, scope, and turnaround.
