Stories that hold the line.

AI Film Studio · Madrid

Campaigns, pitch teasers and series. Every shot is decided on the storyboard before the machine generates it.

20 years producing forNetflixAmazonHBODisney+

Generic AI video is everywhere. And it shows.

Cheap, flat, soulless, stale within a week. Traditional production tells the story well, but it's slow and expensive.

Termópilas is the third way: an author's soul at AI speed and cost.

In days, not months.

From sketch to final frame.

It's not a lucky prompt. It's a process: we build the world, sketch it, and only then push it to hyperrealism. See for yourself.

Drag to compare

One studio, many engines. The exact tone of your story.

Not a feed of one-off clips: we orchestrate different models to nail each project's register, from the epic battle to the intimate spot.

AI-generated historical epic still: medieval cavalry charging through the dust at dusk, at the Horns of Hattin.

Historical epic

Classical Greece, the Crusades, feudal Japan. Battles and heroes in 9:16, series-ready.

AI-generated brand spot still: an amber skincare bottle labelled ANYTIME on a wooden ledge, surrounded by lit candles.

Brand & advertising

Brand films and ads with a bespoke aesthetic for each campaign.

AI-generated 3D animation still: an elderly man in sunglasses with a white cane crossing a night-time avenue.

Animation

From Pixar-style 3D to anime and retro pixel-art. A different language for every tone.

AI-generated intimate narrative still: a dim hallway, the front door opening and a figure backlit in the frame.

Lifestyle & story

Intimate, emotional pieces — human down to the last detail.

Films, not clips.

Long form, finished and delivered. None of these was cropped to vertical to fit a grid: each one is shown in the format it was made in.

How we work

01

Tell me the idea

A 20-minute call to understand the project.

02

A test shot

I deliver a shot or concept in days, not months.

03

We produce

Campaign or series, shot by shot, with you at every step.

From storyboard to final frame

Every shot comes from a repeatable process. We build the world, sketch it, and only then push it to hyperrealism. Author control at every step.

  1. 01Build the world

    We define era, light and atmosphere before moving a single shot.

  2. 02Plan the story

    A 3×3 storyboard grid: rhythm and continuity before the render.

  3. 03Bring it to life

    We push the grid to hyperrealism, keeping every frame.

  4. 04Hero shot

    The keyframe that defines the piece and anchors the campaign.

  5. 05Expand coverage

    Full shot list: wides, details and reverse angles.

  6. 06Control the emotion

    A percentage blend of intensity until the tone is exact.

  7. 07Add atmosphere

    Dust, fog, backlight. The layer that makes it cinema.

  8. 084K polish

    Upscale, color and final master at delivery resolution.

Founder · Producer

I come from traditional production. I know what's at stake when you pitch a project to a platform, or launch a campaign with the clock and the budget against you.

A producer with two decades of award-winning documentary series for the major platforms. I founded Termópilas Media to bring that narrative discipline to the new generation of AI cinema.

The bet: orchestrate multiple engines to reach studio-grade quality, with author-level control over every frame. Industrial scale, an author's soul.

What people ask us before we start.

How much does an AI video with Termópilas Media cost?

Every project is quoted by length, visual complexity and number of revisions. The fastest way to start is a Concept Reel; get in touch for a proposal tailored to your brand or production.

How long does production take?

With our AI workflow, timelines often drop from weeks to days, without sacrificing studio-grade finish.

How is it different from other AI video tools?

It's not a self-serve tool, but a studio with art direction and an author's eye behind every shot. That's what avoids the generic AI look.

What kind of projects is it for?

Historical epics, brand and advertising films, animation (3D, anime, pixel-art) and intimate narrative pieces. Also vertical, platform-native series.

What formats do you deliver in?

Whichever ones you need. Vertical 9:16 for social and series, 16:9, square or whatever each channel calls for, cut to fit the campaign. 4K master.

Can I request revisions?

Yes. The process includes joint iteration until tone, pace and look are right.

Let's hold the next line together.

Campaigns people stop to watch. Series a platform wants to fund. Your story, told like cinema.

The more concrete you are, the more useful my first reply will be.

For example: vertical 9:16, 45 seconds

What you want to tell, who for, and what it has to achieve.
