KINO Productions

Film production with an AI-native studio.

KINO is a creative production company. We write treatments, design characters and worlds, board every shot and deliver finished films. We are building AI Studio, the pipeline that carries one consistent cinematic look through all of it.

What we do

A small team that takes a film from the brief to the final delivery, for brands and agencies.

01

Treatment

Director's treatments with a clear point of view, illustrated so the client sees the film before it exists. Bilingual when the client is international.

02

Look development

Art direction, character, wardrobe and location design, chosen once and locked for the whole project.

03

Director's board & previs

One frame per shot, then a moving cut that lets client and crew agree on the film before the shoot.

04

Production

Live-action shoots, and films made with generative tools when the idea calls for it, finished to delivery quality.

Selected films

Commercials and branded films directed by Chris Vu, for brands including Disney, PNJ, Google, Grab, Garena, Knorr, OMO, Carabao and CeraVe.

AI Studio

Image and video models are powerful, but on a real production each person prompts differently, results scatter across tools, and frames end up looking generated. AI Studio is the workflow layer we are building on top of the best available models to fix that. It runs inside the team's chat, where the work already happens.

LOCK

One look per project

Approved characters, wardrobe, locations and image recipe live in a single project lock set that every person and every step shares.

BOARD

Shot list to board

The assistant turns a shot list into board frames using the lock set, checks them for tell-tale AI artefacts, and sends them for approval.

MOTION

Board to shots

Approved frames become the first frame of each video shot. Takes, selects and hand-off to post are tracked per scene.

Craft built in

The director's method for a cinematic image is encoded in the system, so quality does not depend on who is at the keyboard.

Machines repeat, people choose

Repetitive steps are automated. Every creative decision is approved by a person, with one clear approved version.

One library per project

Every result lands in the project's library, so nothing is lost and the next project starts from what was learned.

How we work with AI

The same assistant that runs AI Studio also helps run the company: daily check-ins, project coordination and reminders for the team.

A

Built with Claude Code

The whole system is designed, written and operated with Claude Code: the workflow design, the code, the servers it runs on, and the prompt craft behind every image recipe.

B

People stay in charge

Anything involving money or attendance runs on fixed forms and buttons. AI reads, summarises and reminds; it does not decide.

C

Client material stays protected

Company and personal data are kept in separate systems, and client briefs are handled under clear rules about what may leave the studio.
