AI video production and AI filmmaking for businesses, from Pittsburgh, PA
Two Horn Productions is an AI video production company based in Pittsburgh, PA, making AI commercials, AI social ads and AI brand films for businesses anywhere.
Stories too big for a real-world budget, made with AI and finished by filmmakers.
We write and direct it like any other film, then edit, color, mix and animate it by hand so it feels intentional, not generated. More than 1,000 AI images and 550 AI clips in, we know where it shines and where a camera still wins.

AI video examples. Look, ma: no camera.
AI is just another tool in the kit, right next to the drone and the dolly. Here’s a minute of it on the job.
AI video for business
Most AI video online is a few seconds of something strange. Businesses need something else: a film that tells a clear story, looks consistent from shot to shot, sounds finished, and gets a viewer to do something. That’s the part we do.
We’re a husband-and-wife production company with about fifteen years of shooting, editing and animating behind us. We’ve generated more than 1,000 AI images and 550 AI video clips so far, and we’ve put the best of them into finished films for clients like Tastyland and CEC. Every frame goes through the same story, edit, color and sound process as our camera work.
What businesses use it for
- Product and concept films. Put a product somewhere you could never afford to shoot it: on a mountaintop, in another decade, in a world that doesn’t exist.
- Pitch and preview films. Show a client, a board or an investor what an idea will look like before anyone pays for the shoot. Agencies use this to sell a campaign.
- Social campaigns at volume. A series of short spots with the same look and characters, cut for every platform, without a shoot day for each one.
- Story-driven ads. Big set pieces that would take a Hollywood budget for real, like the 200 Mile Race of Legends or Attack of the Killer Bees.
- Explainers and training. Show what a camera can’t see: inside a machine, how a process works, what a place looked like before it was built.
- Company history and anniversaries. Bring old photos and stories to life for a milestone, a museum or a visitor center.
- Event openers and sizzles. A big, fast opener for a conference stage or a gala screen.
- Filling gaps in live-action work. The establishing shot you couldn’t get, the weather that didn’t cooperate, the scene that would have needed a permit.
What’s included
- Concept, script and visual direction, the same as any film we make
- AI-generated shots, characters and worlds, tested until the look holds together
- Editing, color, sound design, music and motion graphics, done by hand
- Voiceover and music, recorded or AI-generated, depending on your budget
- Versions sized for social, web and presentations
How it works
- Idea first. We start with the story, not the software: what should the audience feel, and what should they do next?
- Look development. We test styles, characters and products until the world feels consistent.
- Generation and selects. Every shot is generated many times, and we keep the takes that work, much like choosing takes on set.
- Finishing. The same edit, color and sound process as our camera work (see typical AI prices), which is what makes it feel intentional instead of generated.
Why a production company, not just a prompt
Anyone can type a prompt. The hard part is everything around it: a script that holds attention, shots that match, pacing, sound, and a finish that doesn’t look like a demo. That’s fifteen years of filmmaking, and it’s why our AI work looks like a film and not a feed.
More from the same team
We also make AI images and AI design: product shots, campaign visuals, concept art and storyboards. And we blend AI with 3D and 2D animation, graphic design and live-action video production. Not sure which your idea needs? See AI video vs. live action, side by side.

Questions people ask
How much does AI video cost?
A 30 to 60 second AI commercial usually costs $4,500 to $8,000, a 15 to 30 second AI social ad $2,500 to $4,000, and a 2 to 3 minute AI brand film $10,000 to $18,000. If you want to try it first, a single 10 to 15 second AI test clip is $1,200, credited toward a larger project. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before we start.
Is AI video cheaper than a shoot?
Often, for the right idea. It skips crews, locations, sets and travel, but good results still take writing, many rounds of generation, and careful editing, color and sound. It saves the most when an idea would be too costly, or impossible, to shoot for real.
What can AI video be used for in a business?
Product and concept films, pitch films that sell an idea before a shoot is approved, social campaigns that need many versions, explainers and training, event openers, and company-history pieces. It also fills gaps in live-action projects, like a shot you couldn't get on the day.
Can AI video include our product or logo?
Often, with care. Products, logos and real people are the hardest things to keep consistent from shot to shot, so we test them early and tell you what’s realistic before the project starts.
Can you mix AI with real footage?
Yes. We’re a live-action production company first, so we can shoot the parts that need real people and places and use AI for the rest, then cut, grade and mix it all together.
Will people know it’s AI?
Usually, and we think that’s fine. We’re happy to label it, and we follow the disclosure rules of the platforms it runs on.
Does AI replace a real shoot?
No. It’s one more tool. For real people telling real stories, a camera is still the right choice, and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.
Do you work with businesses outside Pittsburgh?
Yes. AI projects don’t need a location, so we can make them for clients anywhere. Reviews and calls happen over video.
