Brand and Marketing Teams
Brand films and campaign work, made with the team that owns the brand and cut for every channel it runs in.
About Satellite Studios, Melbourne
We are a small studio that works like a production company. Every film has a director, a treatment, boards and a grade, and every film is checked frame by frame before it leaves.
AI generation is part of how we shoot, the same way a camera package or a VFX house is part of a traditional production. It lets us put a product on a mountain, a building on an empty block or a campaign into six formats without a crew on the road, and it sits inside a process that any agency producer would recognise.

How a Film Is Made
How a Film Is Made
It is how a production company runs a job, with generation where the shoot would be.
Development
The idea, the brief and what the film has to do for the brand.
Treatment
The look, the tone and the references, written and shown before anything is made.
Boards
Every shot framed and agreed, so the film is decided on paper first.
Generation
Shots made to the boards, take by take, with the same people and product in every frame.
Edit
Cut for pace and story, then recut for each format.
Grade
One filmic finish across the whole film, with real contrast and fine grain.
Sound
Music, sound design and the final mix.
Finishing
Titles, credits and delivery to the client's specs.
What is Satellite Studios?
Satellite Studios is a film studio in Melbourne, Australia. We develop, direct and finish brand films, commercials, product films and development films for companies and their agencies. We are the film side of Satellite; our sister company Satellite Digital runs advertising.
How does AI fit into how you make a film?
AI generation replaces the shoot, not the production. Every film still goes through development, a treatment, storyboards, generation, edit, grade, sound and finishing. Each shot is generated to an approved board, then cut, graded and mixed like any commercial.
How is this different from using an AI video generator?
A generator gives you clips. A film needs an idea, a treatment, boards, the same people and product held consistent from shot to shot, an edit, a grade, sound design and delivery to spec. That is the work we do, and it is why our films read as one piece rather than a string of generations.
Can you use our real product, packaging and brand?
Yes. We build from the references you give us: product photos, packaging, renders, plans and brand guidelines. For Dedicated we started from three phone photos of the brand's weight plates and kept the plates accurate across every shot.
Is the quality good enough for television and cinema?
Our films are finished as graded masters, up to 4K, with a proper sound mix, and delivered to the formats a campaign needs: 16:9 for broadcast and online, 9:16 and 4:5 for social. The Island of Gems and our Mercedes spec films were mastered in 4K.
How much does an AI film or commercial cost?
Every film is quoted from the brief. The price depends on the running time, the number of shots, how many formats and cutdowns you need, the number of review rounds, and music and sound. Send us a brief and we will come back with a quote and a schedule.
How long does it take to make a film?
It depends on the length of the film and the number of review rounds. There is no location, crew or weather to schedule, so the time goes into development, boards and finishing. We give you a schedule with every quote.
Who owns the finished film?
The finished film and its cutdowns are delivered to you for your campaign. Ownership and usage rights are confirmed in writing with every quote.
Where do you work?
We are based in Melbourne and make films for clients across Australia and overseas, including a Sri Lankan jewellery manufacturer and an apartment development in Colombo marketed to Australian buyers.
