We’re filmmakers first, and we make films three ways: shot live-action, live-action with AI visual effects, or generated entirely with AI. You pick the look and the budget; every mode gets the same story, direction and finishing. Prices are starting points; your quote is built from your brief.
Three ways to make your film
Real actors and locations, with AI for the shots a budget couldn’t reach: new worlds, crowds, creatures and transformations. Includes performance capture, where an actor performs and AI recasts the character.
- Best for
- Short films, commercials, music videos and micro-dramas.
Written, directed, edited, scored and graded by filmmakers, with every frame generated. Studio-scale ideas at a fraction of a shoot’s cost and time.
- Best for
- Brand content, animation, social campaigns, spec spots and pitch visuals.
Not sure which fits? Send the story and your budget. Your quote will recommend a mode, and every AI-generated or AI-assisted shot is listed on your delivery’s VFX shot list.

We’re adding finished projects here as they’re cleared for release.
Behind the camera
VCinema Studios is led by director and cinematographer Mike Anthony. Every project, from a 15-second spot to a feature, is written, shot and finished with the same standard: a clear story, a deliberate look and sound that holds up on any screen.
We’re based in metro Atlanta and work wherever the story is. Our originals carry the credit A VCinema Studios Production. VCinema.TV is the distribution platform we’re building, where our originals will stream.
Before you book
Straight answers about what you receive. Your written proposal sets out the details for your project, and we confirm them with you before production begins.
What’s included with my video, and who owns it?
Your VCinema proposal outlines the finished videos you’ll receive, how you can use them, and whether copyright ownership transfers to you.
Production covers the creative work of planning, filming and editing, as set out in your proposal. Usage rights define where and how you can publish the finished content. A copyright transfer gives you ownership of the rights specified in your agreement.
Depending on your project, we can structure the agreement around permission to use the finished video, which can include ongoing use, or a transfer of ownership. We confirm those terms before production begins, so you know exactly what your investment includes.
Raw footage and editable project files are included only when they’re listed in your proposal. Music, stock footage, fonts and other third-party assets remain subject to their own licenses.
Need content for social media, paid advertising, television or distribution? Tell us your plans so we can include the right usage in your quote.
Can I get the raw footage or editable project files?
Yes, when they’re part of your proposal. Raw footage and editable project files are included only when they’re listed, so if you’ll need them, mention it in your brief and we’ll build them into your scope from the start.
If ownership transfers to me, does that cover the music and stock footage?
Third-party assets such as licensed music, stock footage and fonts stay subject to their own licenses, even when ownership of the finished production transfers to you. If you have specific plans for the finished video, tell us early so we can choose assets that fit them.
When are the terms confirmed?
Before production begins. Your signed project agreement confirms your deliverables, your usage rights or ownership transfer, and your schedule. This page is a general guide; your signed agreement is what applies to your project.
