Synthesis

AI video production and hybrid films

Build where the camera can't go. ONDE Studio creates AI-generated films and hybrid films — live footage blended with generated imagery — for brands, agencies and institutions, from Québec City to anywhere in the world. Same cinematic standard as our field work. Always labelled.

Two ways to make a film, one standard

Terrain is what we shoot: real places, real people, real light. Synthesis is what we build: scenes, locations and products that do not exist yet, cannot be reached, or would cost a shoot abroad. Hybrid films sit in between — a factory floor we filmed, extended into a future that is only drawn so far; a product filmed in studio, placed into landscapes we generated. The direction, editing, sound design and colour are the same in every case.

What AI film production is good for

01Product launches before the product exists — prototypes, variants, environments.
02Places you cannot film — remote sites, closed facilities, the past, the future, the microscopic.
03Campaign extensions — stills, vertical cuts, localised variants (FR / EN / PT) from one master.
04Explaining the invisible — processes, data, research, risk — for public bodies, health and education.
05Agencies — AI and hybrid production delivered under your banner. white-label for agencies →

How we work in synthesis

01Story first. Paul-Arnaud turns the brief into a script with a problem, a tension and a resolution — the same as for a documentary.
02Look development. Thomas defines frame, light and movement with references and generated tests, so the film has one coherent eye.
03Generation and assembly. Scenes are generated, selected and edited like rushes; voice, music and sound design are produced with the same care as a shoot.
04Hybrid integration. Where live footage exists, generated scenes are matched in lens, grade and grain.
05Labelling and rights. Every generated film is labelled as such; we document the tools, prompts and licences, and we never generate real people without written consent.

Indicative scope

A fully generated 60–120 second film typically takes 4–6 weeks, with variations for every format. A hybrid brand film combines 1–2 shoot days with synthesis and is delivered in 6–8 weeks.

Questions we are asked

Every film is quoted on scope. As a guide, a brand film is typically 2–4 shoot days with a crew of 2–3, a 2–4 minute film plus three cut-downs, delivered in 6–8 weeks; a case-study film is 1–2 shoot days or fully in synthesis, delivered in 4–6 weeks. Answer seven questions on the Your project page and we send a tailored proposal.

If the place, the people and the light exist, we film them. If what you need to show does not exist yet, cannot be reached, or would require a shoot abroad, we build it in synthesis. Many projects are hybrid. We recommend the approach in the proposal.

Yes — every generated or hybrid film is labelled as such. You receive the master files and usage rights defined in the contract; we document tools and licences, and never generate real people without written consent.

Yes. We are based in Québec City and work across Québec, Canada, Brazil and internationally, in French, English and Portuguese. Our field unit is self-sufficient for remote and northern sites.

From 4 weeks for a synthesis case-study film to 10 weeks for a launch campaign, including script, shoot or generation, editing, sound and colour.
