06 / AI and in-house solutions

Creation / Post-production / Development

AI in production.
In-house tools.

AI is part of the KOVA toolkit. We use it in creative work and post-production, and we develop our own solutions for our productions.

01 Image
We create generative imagery and combine it with photography and film.
02 Post-production
Transcription, subtitles and language versions. AI supports the work with recorded footage.
03 In-house solutions
We develop tools for describing and finding shots. They grow out of work on our own productions.

06 / AI / Visualisations

AI visualisations.

AI-generated images. A KOVA concept project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Porsche AG.

07 / Working together

We agree the scope.
We make the work.

You work with me from the first conversation. For each production I choose the crew and the resources that fit the project.

  1. 01Conversation. Goal, audience, deadline and budget.
  2. 02Concept. Idea, formats and production plan.
  3. 03Production. Shooting, editing, colour and sound.
  4. 04Delivery. Final files in the agreed versions.

We agree the scope, usage rights, schedule and revisions before production.
