AI film and trailer production for producers and filmmakers

A film starts as a script, and a script is hard to sell. MotionByte produces short films, teasers and pitch trailers that show what the film will look and feel like, including the scenes that are hardest to shoot: action, battles, destruction, creatures and large worlds.

We work with producers, writers, directors and rights holders who need footage in front of financiers, distributors and audiences before, or instead of, a full shoot.

What we deliver

Pitch and proof-of-concept trailers

A trailer built from your script or treatment that sells tone, scale and the lead characters.

Short films

Complete short films with story, performance, sound and finish.

Key-scene proofs

A single hardest scene produced to prove the film can be made.

Campaign variants

Alternate cuts and aspect ratios for different audiences and platforms.

Scenes we build

  • Action and battle set pieces
  • Sci-fi and fantasy worlds
  • Creature and character reveals
  • Disaster and destruction scenes
  • Period and mythological epics

How it works

  1. Brief

    Share the script, treatment or logline, who the trailer is for and where it will play. We agree scope and sign an NDA before you send unreleased material.

  2. Concept and previs

    We write the trailer on paper, build style frames and previs the key moments for your approval.

  3. Generation and compositing

    Shots are produced against the approved frames, then composited and cleaned up for continuity of characters and worlds.

  4. Finishing, grade and sound

    We edit, grade, score or place music, and mix sound to the picture.

  5. Delivery

    You receive the master and the cuts your plan needs, with revision rounds set out in the proposal.

Deliverables

  • Trailer or short film master in the agreed specification
  • Teaser and social cuts in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1
  • Key frames and stills for decks and press
  • Treatment or shot list for your own files
  • Music and sound stems where agreed

Rights and NDA

Commercial usage rights and ownership of the final deliverables are set out in the contract for each project. An NDA is available before you share a script, product or unreleased material, and we can sign yours. AI disclosure and content credentials (C2PA) are provided on request. Read the details on the Rights and NDA page. We do not use a real person's likeness or voice without written consent.
