AI music videos with a director attached.
Trained to Imagine makes AI music videos for artists and labels — stylized concepts, surreal worlds, and visual systems built around the artist rather than around a model's default aesthetic. Generative tools make almost anything possible, which is exactly why the work needs a director. Our founders have made generative videos for Justice, Bambaata, and MAGIC!
Concept and treatment
A written treatment with style frames, so the artist and label know what they are approving before the budget commits.
Artist-led visual systems
A consistent look that survives across the video, the single art, and the campaign — not a set of unrelated beautiful shots.
Performance integration
Where the artist appears on camera, we shoot plates and build the generated world around a real performance.
Edit to picture lock
Cut to the track, finished and graded, delivered to label and platform spec.
- 01
Track and reference
We start from the music and the artist's existing visual language, not from what the model does easily.
- 02
Treatment
Written concept plus style frames. This is the approval gate.
- 03
Build
Generation, plates where needed, and iteration against the approved look.
- 04
Finish
Edit, comp, cleanup, grade, and delivery.
How much does an AI music video cost?
Less than the equivalent live-action shoot for the same ambition, but not free. The cost sits in direction, iteration, and finishing rather than in crew and location days. A stylized video with no shoot typically lands well below a comparable traditional production; adding performance plates, talent, or a location moves it toward conventional budgets.
Can you match an artist's existing visual identity?
Yes — that is the main job. We build a prompt system and reference set from the artist's existing artwork, photography, and prior videos, then lock a look in style frames before production. Consistency across shots is a pipeline problem, and it is the part most AI music videos get wrong.
Does the artist need to be filmed?
No. Fully generated videos with no shoot are common and often the point. But if the artist should be recognisably present, real plates give a result that generated likeness currently cannot match, and they avoid the rights questions that come with synthesising a real person.
