AI hybrid production studio, MelbourneEvery location.
One studio.

We shoot real people in our Melbourne studio, then build the world around them with AI. The performance is real. The clifftop, the city and the weather are made for the shot.

You get the feel of a big location shoot without the flights, permits or weather calls, finished in-house by the team that has made work for L’Oréal, Bioderma and Politix.

Start a hybrid project

Real people. We just took away the logistics.

Every hybrid job still has real talent, real crew and a real performance. Actors are cast, paid and credited like any other shoot, and we never make a digital likeness of anyone without their consent.

Plenty is still best shot in camera, and when it is, we shoot it that way. Hybrid just means the bigger ideas are back on the table.

  • No weather holdsThe sky is whatever the story needs.
  • No long-haul travelNo flying cast and crew across the country for a few shots.
  • No complicated timingsNo permits, road closures or chasing the last hour of light.
  • No unsafe setupsHeights and extreme locations without putting anyone at risk.

One take. Summer, autumn, rain and snow, without waiting a year.

One take in our studio. Any location.

How a hybrid job runs

01

Storyboard

Every frame specified up front: lens, camera move, action and timing.

02

Blocking

Every shot is built in 3D clay first, so the camera move, lens and timing are locked before anything is generated.

03

Studio shoot

The performance is shot on cinema cameras, lit to match the world it will sit in.

04

World build

The location is generated around the performance. Real faces stay real.

05

Finish

Edit, comp, colour and sound, with one film look across every shot.

Shot for real

Faces and performance, sport and skill, product in hand, wardrobe and styling.

Built with AI

Locations and sets, weather and time of day, crowds and scale, and camera moves no rig can do.

AI hybrid production FAQs

What is AI hybrid production?

Live-action filmmaking combined with generative AI. The people and performance are shot for real; the world around them is built with AI, then edited, graded and finished in-house.

What is an AI hybrid studio?

A production studio that works this way. Kilogram shoots real talent in our Melbourne studio and builds the world around them, so a clifftop, a city street or a snowstorm can all be shot in one place.

Is it cheaper than a location shoot?

Usually. Taking out locations, travel and set builds saves a lot, especially on big or impossible settings. We scope it against a traditional shoot so you can compare.

Will it look like AI?

No. Real people carry the performance, and every shot is finished by our team to the same standard as our live-action work.

Who owns the footage?

You do, on the same usage terms as any Kilogram production.

Do you work outside Melbourne?

Yes. We are based in Melbourne with our own studio, and work with brands and agencies across Australia.
