Direct answer
An AI film for a tech company — an investor film, launch film, product demo, onboarding or training video or a commercial — starts at $5,000 per project at ArcaneWiz, delivered in 7–10 working days from an approved brief, with full worldwide rights. The price moves with four things: the length of the film, the number of scenes, the number of formats and versions, and the deadline. It does not move with crew, locations, actors or travel, because an AI film has none — which is what puts it 40–60% lower than traditional production for a comparable film.

“How much does it cost?” is the first question in almost every email we receive from a SaaS company, a startup or a deep-tech team. This article answers it the way we answer it in a quote: what the entry price is, what is in it, what makes a film cost more than the entry price, what is deliberately not in the price, and how to brief us so the quote comes back accurate the first time.
The entry price and what it includes
AI films for tech companies at ArcaneWiz start at $5,000 per project. That price is for a complete film, not a draft: the story and script, the visual design, the generation and direction of every shot, the edit, sound design and music, and the final master in the format you asked for. It includes the revisions agreed in the quote and the full worldwide, perpetual commercial and broadcast rights to the finished film, which vest on final payment.
The studio’s general price floor for any video project, across all industries, is $3,000; the current packages and entry prices for each kind of film are kept up to date on the pricing page. Tech films start higher than the floor because they carry more scenes, real product UI and more versions than a short social clip.
What moves the price up
Length. A 60-second launch film and a four-minute investor film are different amounts of work: more story, more shots to generate, select and direct, more edit.
Number of scenes. A film that lives in one world (a product on a dark stage) is faster than a film that moves through six (an office, a data center, a city, inside a chip, a customer’s screen, a trade-show floor). Each world is designed once; each scene within it is generated and directed.
Formats and versions. A 16:9 master is the base. A 9:16 vertical version, a 15-second ad cut, a silent version with on-screen text for a trade-show loop, or a Hebrew and an English version are additional deliverables — much cheaper than shooting each separately, but not free.
Deadline. Standard delivery is 7–10 working days from an approved brief. A paid rush option exists, priced by scope and subject to capacity.
Real product UI and brand assets. Building scenes from your actual dashboard, device or interface is standard for tech films and is part of the price; what adds work is a product that changes mid-production, which is why it pays to lock the UI before the brief is approved.
What is deliberately not in the price
There is no crew day rate, no camera or lighting hire, no location fee, no actors or presenters, no make-up, catering, travel or insurance, and no reshoot. There are no stock-footage licences and no actor releases to track, because nothing is filmed. When a scene needs to change after the product’s next release, it is regenerated or re-cut inside the project rather than re-shot.
This is also why the comparison with a traditional shoot comes out at 40–60% lower for a comparable film: the budget a shoot spends before the first frame simply does not exist here.
How the four tech films are usually priced
- Investor film — one to two minutes, one project. Often the first film a startup orders, with a fixed date attached.
- Launch film — a master plus the ad cuts and vertical versions for the launch channels, priced as one project with additional formats.
- Product demo or explainer — built from the real UI; the simplest brief and usually the closest to the entry price.
- Onboarding and training — a series of short modules sharing one design, priced as a series; new modules are added as the product grows.
Ordering two films from the same story at the same time — an investor film and a launch film, say — costs less than ordering them months apart, because the design, the world and the product assets are built once.
How to get an accurate quote in one email
Send five things: what the film has to do (raise, launch, explain, train), who it is for, roughly how long it should be, which formats you need, and the date. Add a link to the product and any brand assets. Daniel and his team reply by email with a direction and a quote; production starts once the brief is approved, and the 7–10 working days run from that approval.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI film for a tech company cost?
AI films for tech companies at ArcaneWiz start at $5,000 per project — investor films, launch films, product demos, onboarding and training videos and commercials. The price moves with length, number of scenes, formats and deadline.
What is included in the $5,000 entry price?
A complete film: story and script, visual design, generation and direction of every shot, edit, sound design and music, the final master, the agreed revisions, and full worldwide, perpetual commercial and broadcast rights on final payment.
Why does an AI film cost less than a shoot?
Because there is no crew, camera hire, location, actors, travel, insurance or reshoot. The price is the creative and production work only, which puts it 40–60% lower than traditional production for a comparable film.
How long does the film take?
7–10 working days from an approved brief to the final master. A paid rush option exists, priced by scope and subject to capacity.
Does the price include a vertical version and ad cuts?
The base price covers one master. Vertical versions, short ad cuts and silent versions are additional deliverables from the same project — far cheaper than producing each separately — and are listed in the quote.
Is there a minimum budget for any ArcaneWiz video?
Yes: the studio’s price floor is $3,000 per project across all industries. Tech films start at $5,000 because they carry more scenes, real product UI and more versions.
Can we pay in shekels with an Israeli tax invoice?
Yes. ArcaneWiz is based in Ramat Hasharon, Israel, and can invoice Israeli clients in ILS with a tax invoice.
Do we own the film?
You receive full, worldwide, perpetual commercial and broadcast use of the final film, vesting on final payment. Paid-media use is confirmed per project in the statement of work; source files are available on request.
What happens to the price if our product changes during production?
Lock the UI before approving the brief. A change after that is handled as a revision inside the project — regenerated or re-cut, not re-shot — and is quoted only if it goes beyond the agreed revisions.
How do we get a quote?
Send a short brief through the form on the tech landing page — what the film has to do, who it is for, length, formats and date. Daniel and his team reply by email with a direction and a quote.
