04 — Why dystnct
01

Better.

Directed, not prompted.

Real filmmakers make every call — lens, light, performance, pacing, grade. The model renders. We decide.

Every framehas a decision behind it
02

Faster.

Days, not months.

Concept to final in one to three weeks. Changes take hours, not reshoots.

1–3 wkstypical delivery
03

Limitless.

No crew. No permits. No location fees.

Any product, any world, any era — with the budget spent on the idea instead of the logistics.

06 — The studio

Directors first.AI second.

dystnct AI is the AI video and design arm of dystnct, a next-generation design agency.

We came up on sets, in edit bays and animation studios. We know what a shot needs before we write a word of prompt. The models change every month. Our eye doesn't.

07 — Questions

Questions.

01Is it really all AI?

The footage is generated. Everything else is people. Our directors write the treatment, design the look and direct every generation — then edit, grade and sound-design the result like any other film. AI is the camera. We're the crew.

02How much does it cost?

Most projects land between $1,500 and $25,000 depending on format, length and finish. Build an order to see a live estimate — a producer confirms a firm quote within 24 hours. Nothing is charged on this site.

03How fast can you deliver?

Social cuts and idents in days. Product and brand films in one to three weeks. Need it sooner? Add rush delivery when you build your order.

04Can you use our actual product, logo or talent?

Yes. Send product photos, 3D files, logos and brand guidelines and we'll build an on-model look that stays consistent shot to shot. Likeness work needs written consent from the person on camera.

05Who owns the final work?

You do. Final deliverables are licensed to you for commercial use on delivery. Usage terms — including any model-specific terms — are spelled out in your quote.

06How many revisions do I get?

Two rounds on every project, with checkpoints at treatment, rough cut and final so feedback lands early. Extra rounds are quoted as needed.

07Do you work with agencies and production companies?

All the time — pitch films, previs, animatics and white-label production. NDA-ready.

08What do you need from me to start?

Just the idea. The order builder asks the right questions. Anything you skip, a producer covers on the kickoff call.
