Terms of Service

This studio turns a written idea into a short AI-generated film. You describe a story, optionally upload photographs of the people who should appear in it, and the studio writes a screenplay, draws the shots, animates them and delivers one finished video file.

Production is bounded: an order is accepted at a fixed price in production credits, and the studio then does whatever the film needs within its own spending limits. You are never asked to pay more mid-production.

Films are short — currently 30 to 60 seconds. Delivery normally takes under two hours. The studio is young and runs one film at a time, so a queue is possible.

Every frame is generated by AI. Nothing in a delivered film is a recording of a real event, and no character says or does anything a real person said or did. Events, dialogue and characters are fictional, including when a film is built around a photograph of a real person.

Each delivered film carries a visible notice saying so, and the video file itself is labelled in its metadata. Do not present a film from this studio as documentary footage, evidence, news, or a statement by anyone it resembles.

The studio makes no claim that a film is accurate, factual, or suitable for any particular purpose. Likeness, voice and performance are approximations produced by a model.

You may upload photographs so that a character looks like a specific person. By uploading, you confirm that you are that person or have that person's permission, and that the photograph is yours to use.

An uploaded photograph is stored privately. The studio also derives working material from it — identity reference sheets and the frames of your film. Uploaded photographs are sent to the image and video providers the studio uses in order to produce your film, because that is the only way the film can be made.

You may have the photographs and the derived identity sheets for a project deleted at any time after delivery, from your account page or through the account API. When you do, the image bytes are removed from the studio's storage and a record that the material existed and was deleted is kept — the studio keeps the tombstone, never the face. Your delivered film is not changed or deleted by this.

Photographs of other people without their permission, and photographs of children used to place them in a film, are not allowed and will be refused or removed.

Films are bought with production credits. The price of a film is fixed and shown before the order is accepted; the credits are debited when production starts.

If the studio cannot finish a film, the order is cancelled and its credits are returned in full to your wallet. A refund is recorded once and once only, so a retried cancellation can never pay twice and never pays partially.

A film that has been delivered is not refunded automatically. If you believe a delivered film is not what you ordered, contact the studio and an operator will look at it.

Credits are for producing films in this studio. They are not money, they do not expire on a schedule the studio hides, and they are not transferable between accounts.

Action, violence, war, crime, horror and adult drama are ordinary cinema and are welcome. Showing something terrible as part of a story is not the same as selling it, and the studio does not refuse a film for depicting a villain as a villain.

Five things are refused outright: explicit pornography; any sexual content involving a minor or a character who reads as a minor; explicit sexual content built on a real, identifiable person's face; promotion of hatred or racism, or hate symbols used approvingly; and encouragement or instruction of self-harm or suicide.

This check runs on your idea and on the screenplay written from it, before any image or video is bought. A refused order costs no production credits — nothing is filmed and nothing is charged.

Attempting to use the studio to impersonate a real person, to fabricate evidence, or to harass someone is also prohibited, whatever genre it is dressed as.

Questions about an order, a refund, a deletion request or this document go to the studio's support address shown in your account. A deletion request made through your account page is acted on immediately and does not need an email.

While this document is marked DRAFT, the studio's answer to anything it does not cover is the one that favours the customer.
