We Created a Video for Our Client Using 100% AI Production

Video marketing used to be expensive, slow, and heavy on approvals. But what if you no longer need a big production crew, weeks of filming, and hefty budgets to create powerful brand content? We recently created a launch video for our client, On Watch, using AI production, and the result was incredible.

Watch The Video We Created Using AI

No film crews, no cast - just a terrific brief, solid marketing and brand strategy, along with effective prompting and editing.

The Problem: Video Marketing Can Feel Too Hard

If you’re a business owner, you might think:

  • “Video is too expensive.”

  • “It takes forever to go from idea to publication.”

  • “The approval and feedback loops are a nightmare.”

We’ve heard it all - video is too expensive, slow, and complicated. We’re here to show you how AI can eliminate these issues and make video marketing easier and accessible to businesses with smaller budgets.

A New Approach: AI + Strategy = Fast, Affordable Videos

For our client, On Watch, we used AI-powered tools to build the entire video straight from text prompts. That means we used AI to create footage, graphics, voice-over and music.

No filming days, actors or crew, no studios or weather risk. From concept to market in weeks. Traditional video production alone often takes weeks and can cost tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars. This was different.

Why This Matters to You

Here’s what this new workflow unlocks for businesses:

1. It’s Fast 
Creating high-quality video no longer means months of extended planning, production, and post-production. With AI, a well-devised script can become a full video in days, not weeks.

2. It’s Cost-Effective 
Instead of paying for expensive crews, locations, and editing suites, AI tools give you professional results at a fraction of the price.

3. It’s Scalable 
You can produce more videos for social media, product launches, email campaigns and websites without ballooning costs.

4. It Removes Bottlenecks 
You iterate fast and get to market quickly.

What This Means for Your Business

Whether you’re a startup or an established brand, you can now:

  • Produce engaging, professional videos that connect with your audience

  • Publish across platforms faster than ever before

  • Cut production costs dramatically

  • Stay ahead of competitors who are still stuck in old production models

Video isn’t just for big brands anymore. It’s a must-have tool for brand awareness, conversions, and customer engagement, and now it’s accessible to every business, no matter the size.

Planning and Strategy Remain Essential

AI is a powerful production tool, but it’s not a replacement for clear thinking. The AI production tools are not yet perfect. Strategy and planning still do the heavy lifting. 

The quality of the output is only ever as strong as the brief, the prompts and the feedback guiding it. Without a defined message, brand voice and objective, AI won't create valuable content.

However, when paired with sound strategy, thoughtful planning and experienced direction, AI becomes a force multiplier — turning strong ideas into polished video content faster and more efficiently than ever before.
