Five working days from the moment we agree what it is about.
30 sec
Finished
Graded, scored, captioned, cut for the places you will actually post it.
Yours
Outright
Once you pay, you own it. Run it anywhere, for as long as you like.
For comparison
The same thirty seconds, the usual way.
| Crewed shoot, agency-led | CHF 8,000 – 15,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Small crew, one location | CHF 4,000 – 8,000 | |
| Freelance videographer, one day | CHF 1,200 – 3,000 | |
| This | CHF 300 |
Those three are typical Swiss ranges for a comparable thirty seconds, not quotes, and what a production actually costs swings enormously with scope. The only figure on this page we can guarantee is the bottom one — because it is ours.
Don’t take our word for it
Ask an AI whether this offer is too good to be true.
You are going to check anyway, so here is the question, already written, and it is not written in our favour. Take it somewhere that has no reason to like us.
A studio in Zürich offers a finished 30-second commercial, produced with AI, for CHF 300 — delivered in five working days, with no payment if the client doesn't like the result. What would a traditional production company in Switzerland charge for something comparable, and what should I watch out for in an offer priced like this?
It will tell you the market rate is several thousand francs, and it will tell you to watch out for the catch. It is right about both. The catch is the next section — we would rather you read ours than guess at it.
So what’s the catch
Five of them. None is hidden.
- 01
It is generated, not filmed.
Nobody comes to your premises. If the commercial has to show your actual restaurant, your actual staff or your actual product on camera, this is the wrong thing to buy and we will say so before you pay anything.
- 02
Thirty seconds, one idea, one round of changes.
The scope is fixed, and that is precisely why it is 300 francs. Tell us it is wrong once and we will fix it. Ask for a second concept from scratch and that is a different job with a different price.
- 03
Some ideas do not generate well yet.
Legible text on a product, a specific real person, a precise logo animation — these are still where the tools fall down. We will tell you at the start, not after five days.
- 04
“Free” means free of charge, not free of a watermark.
You see the finished commercial in full, watermarked. Don’t like it — say so, pay nothing, and we both walk away; the watermarked version is not yours to run. Pay, and the clean master is in your inbox the same day.
- 05
We want the work more than we want the 300 francs.
This price is for the first ten because we want ten commercials we are allowed to show. Yours will be one of them — unless you tell us it shouldn’t be, in which case it won’t, and the price is the same.
How it runs
Five days, four messages, no meetings you don’t want.
- 01
You tell us what it is for
A few sentences. What you sell, who should watch it, where it will be posted. Ten minutes of your time, in writing or on a call — your choice.
- 02
We come back with the idea
One concept, written down, before anything is made. If it is not right, say so now — this is the cheap moment to change your mind.
- 03
We make it
Generated, directed, cut, graded and scored here. You are not sent drafts to babysit.
- 04
You watch it, watermarked
The whole thing, finished, nothing withheld except the watermark. One round of changes if you want them.
- 05
You pay, or you don’t
Pay 300 francs and the clean master lands the same day, in every ratio you need. Or don’t, and that is genuinely the end of it.
The footage
This is the standard. Not the other thing.
Everyone has seen AI video that looks like AI video — the melting hands, the drifting logo, the face that changes between cuts. That is what happens when a prompt is the whole process. These are directions we made: one brief, six treatments, each one directed, reviewed and cut by a person.
The kick at sunset11.9s
The truck, through fire14.7s
A flower, from code7.0s
A figure, unravelling15.0s
The desk, undone8.0s
Colour, mixing25.4s
Six directions from one brief. Human direction throughout.
Ten, then it stops
300 francs is what the first ten pay.
After that it is not 300 francs. There is no countdown on this page and no fake urgency — there are ten, we will say here when they are gone, and the only thing you risk by asking now is finding out you were eleventh.
No card, no deposit, nothing owed until you have watched the finished thing.
