What you get →DVC STUDIOS · THE MEDIA DIVISION OF DARK VECTOR COGNITION
Hard ideas.
Clear stories.
We make films that explain AI: independent explainers and reviews on our own channel, and launch films and First Looks for the companies building it. Every film says whether anyone paid.
COMMISSIONS · FIXED PRICES
What you can commission.
Two films, each with a price on it. You pick from three storyboards before anything moves, and every scene is code, so a late change is a re-render, not a reshoot.
First Look
$5,000
FIXED PRICE · PAID UPFRONT · ABOUT TWO WEEKS
A 5 to 7 minute explainer of what your product does and why it matters, made with your team and published on the DVC channel. Every paid First Look says so, on screen and in the description.

FIRST LOOK · AMMONIX · SEP 23, 2026
Who actually decides?
A six-chapter video goes inside an AI decision system, from the fixed controller to the model that writes a proposed action.
THE FIRST FIRST LOOK
Ammonix, examined in public language.
We made our first First Look with the Ammonix team, at no charge. The film traces where a decision comes from, what the released evidence supports, and which benefits remain potential rather than measured.
Six chapters of source-led diagrams, narration and an original score. Ammonix did not pay for it. Paid First Looks say so in the opening card, the description and YouTube's paid promotion label. Our standards →
