Nimble Reality
Nimble Reality is a Brooklyn creative agency combining video, audio, graphics and AI-powered production workflows for brands, agencies and organizations from idea through finished content.

Versus
Versus is a New York creative and production studio making commercials, brand content and entertainment films, including an OpenAI Sora short that premiered at Tribeca.

VILKA is a producer-led New York commercial studio making TVC and OLV spots, brand films, tabletop and hybrid generative campaigns with AI lookdev, animatics and compositing.

Named work is the Brother Cartridge Family series. Clutch lists a minimum project of USD 10,000+. Confirm whether that floor includes live-action days, generated B-roll, and post, and how many spots sit in one series bid.

Best for: commercials and branded content that mix live-action directing with AI storyboards, generated B-roll and AI-enhanced post.
Top Notch Cinema

Primordial Soup is an artist-led New York studio merging bold narratives with generative workflows, original films and cinematic tools alongside generative artists and storytellers.
Named work is the Ancestra short with Google DeepMind, reported by Variety. No public rate is posted. Original films and cinematic tools are a different buy from a 30-second commercial.

Best for: brands and producers who want an artist-led New York studio for original films and generative narrative work.
ibl.ai
ibl.ai is a New York company producing educational and L&D video with Queens studio filming, AI presenter avatars, mobile crews and LMS packaging for universities and enterprises.

Ask whether generative AI on your job is pitch-only or in the finished picture, and how trailer and commercial usage is split in the quote.
Best for: entertainment-marketing teams that need trailers, commercials or brand campaigns from a New York editorial studio.
How to choose
A New York brief fails when the method is vague (stage day versus generate-only), when talent rights do not cover AI, and when the ad has no plan for FTC endorsement rules or New York's synthetic performer disclosure.
Can this job stay generative, or do you need a New York shoot day? Several studios on this list run LED walls, Manhattan or Brooklyn stages, or Queens filming. Top Notch Cinema also publishes fully AI-generated ad packs. Write the method into the statement of work: plates they shoot, plates you supply, or generated picture plus conventional post.
What is the brief-to-first-cut calendar, and how many revisions sit in the fee? Hybrid stage jobs follow a shoot calendar. Fully generative packs can lock faster if the brief is frozen. Ask for dated gates: treatment, first picture, picture lock, legal, master. Ask what counts as a round (a new seed versus a new edit).
Who owns the picture, the unused generations, the prompts, and the seeds? If a real person is in frame, you need a model release that covers AI use. New York talent, union paperwork, and music licences are production items. If the studio fine-tunes on your assets, say whether those weights stay with you.
How will the ad be labelled? The FTC endorsement guides require that an endorsement is honest and that a paid relationship is clear. A generated face presented as a real customer, doctor, or celebrity can be treated as a fake endorsement. Separately, New York requires a conspicuous disclosure when an advertisement reaching New York consumers features a digitally created human performer who is not a real, identifiable person. A replica of a named actor or employee is a likeness problem, not solved by that label. Get the disclosure wording in the statement of work.
Rates
Most of the twelve studios do not publish a package price. Three do: Wild/Factory, Top Notch Cinema, and ibl.ai. NeedACrew, Decade Pictures, Raised Media Co, and C&I Studios are not on the shortlist; they publish New York crew and project figures for hybrid bids that still include a shoot day. A Top Notch Cinema AI pack from USD 2,500 is not comparable to a Raised Media Co Manhattan crew shoot day of USD 3,000 to 15,000. ibl.ai's USD 30 per minute is educational and L&D, not a TVC. For a wider picture, see AI video production cost.

Doing it in-house
If the job is a social pack, a product loop, or a first-pass animatic, a marketing team can produce it on Versely instead of briefing a New York studio. Keep real product stills and any live plates you already have. Generate only the shots that are not the product or the talent you already shot.
Kling 3.0 is the family to try for short motion from a product still. Veo 3.1 is the family to try for a longer cinematic insert. ElevenLabs v4 covers voiceover.
For a paid social cut, start in the AI ad generator. For a longer brand-film animatic, use the AI video generator. Model cards sit on the models page. Keep prompts, seeds, and source stills with the brief.
FAQ
How much does AI video production cost in New York?
Public studio figures are a Wild/Factory minimum of USD 10,000+ (Clutch), Top Notch Cinema AI packs from USD 2,500, and ibl.ai from USD 30 per minute. Crew guides put a Manhattan shoot day at USD 3,000 to 15,000. Those are published signals from 2026-09-05, not a quote.
Do New York ads have to disclose AI-generated people?
If the ad reaches New York consumers and shows a digitally created human who is not a real, identifiable person, New York's synthetic performer disclosure law requires a conspicuous disclosure. The FTC endorsement guides still apply: do not present a generated face as a real customer, expert, or celebrity. A replica of a named person needs a release; a label does not replace it.
Which New York studios make AI video for fashion and beauty brands?
Slate Studios publishes fashion and beauty campaign, e-commerce, CGI and AI concept films from Long Island City and Brooklyn stages, with an Alaia AI campaign concept on file. MCM Creative Studios lists a Si Señor Mezcal brand launch. Ask whether the job starts from a garment or product plate.
Can I get AI commercials produced in Brooklyn, Queens, or Astoria?
Nimble Reality is in Brooklyn, Slate Studios names Long Island City and Brooklyn stages, ibl.ai names Queens studio filming, and Top Notch Cinema is in Astoria. Say which borough you need staffed.
How long does an AI commercial take with a New York studio?
None of the twelve studios publish a standard lock date on the pages we checked. Hybrid stage jobs follow a shoot calendar. Fully generative packs can turn faster if the brief is frozen. Get first-cut and legal-review dates in writing against your media start.
