01
The studio
What is Kalvia Studios?
Kalvia Studios is the film and creative production arm of Kalvia AI. We make films, commercials, launch videos, music videos and brand content, combining generative AI with VFX, editing, colour and sound done by hand.
Who do you work with?
Brands launching a product, filmmakers developing a story, artists releasing music, and enterprise teams who need a film that looks like cinema rather than a screen recording.
Where are you based?
Our team works from India, and we make films for clients worldwide, in their time zones.
Are you hiring?
We’re looking for experienced motion designers, animators, creative producers, filmmakers and business affairs specialists. Send your portfolio through the talent page.
02
Making a film
What do you make?
Films and TV projects, short films, commercials and branded content, launch videos and music videos. AI VFX, behind-the-scenes breakdowns and cutdowns for every platform extend the work.
How long does a film take?
Most launch films take two to four weeks from the brief to the final files. Longer films and short films take five weeks or more. Your quote gives the date for each stage.
How does a project run?
Five stages: script, storyboard, generation, edit and launch. You approve the script and the storyboard before production starts, and see the first cut before the final one.
How many rounds of changes do I get?
Two rounds at each review are included. A new scene, script or format is a change of scope, which we quote before making.
What do you need from me to start?
What the film needs to say, who it’s for, where it will run and when it has to be out. Logos, product shots, footage and references help, but aren’t required.
Which formats do you deliver?
Whatever the release needs: a hero film in 16:9 or 2.39:1, vertical and square cutdowns, 15 and 30 second edits, stills and loops, up to 4K.
03
AI, rights and your material
Do you use AI to make your films?
Yes, as part of a human-led process. Generative tools widen what we can make, while our team writes, directs, picks the takes and finishes the film through editing, compositing, colour and sound.
Who owns the film?
Once the last invoice is paid, the finished film and everything in it belongs to you: any media, any territory, for as long as you want. No usage fees, no renewals, no licence to buy back. The Terms set it out.
Will my material be used to train AI?
Never. Your scripts, footage, products, faces, voices and the finished film are never used to train AI, ours or anyone else’s. We only use tools whose terms don’t let the provider train on what we send, and we delete your source material from them within 90 days of delivery.
Can you make a digital double of me or our presenter?
Yes, with that person’s written consent covering how it will be used. We don’t make likenesses of anyone without it.
Do we need to label the film as made with AI?
Some platforms and ad markets ask for it. Tell us where the film will run and we’ll prepare the labels it needs.
04
Money
How much does a film cost?
Studio projects start at US$5,000. Every quote is written for its film, with the price, the stages and the date for each. Smaller projects are a better fit for the Kalvia AI platform, where you can make them yourself.
How do I pay?
In stages, by bank transfer: a deposit to book, then the balance before the final files (or 40/30/30 on projects from $25,000). Each invoice carries the details of our account with Wise. See Invoicing & Billing.
Which currencies do you bill in?
US dollars by default, and euros, pounds or Indian rupees when the quote is agreed in them. Tax is added only where the law asks for it.
Can I cancel?
Any time. Within 48 hours of paying the deposit, before work starts, you get all of it back; after that you pay for the work done and nothing more. The Refund & Cancellation Policy has the details.
05
Starting a project
How do I start?
Send a brief from the contact page: what you need, your budget and a few words about the film. A producer replies within two working days, and once the brief is in you can book an intro call.
Will you sign our NDA?
Yes, before you share anything about an unreleased product. Nothing goes in our portfolio before your launch.
Who do I talk to during the project?
One producer, from the first call to the final files, with the director joining every review.
