I make training videos, explainer videos and short product clips for businesses. The footage comes from AI image and video models, the narration from an AI voice, and everything is put together in a conventional edit. I'm based in Melbourne and work with businesses anywhere in Australia.

Training video production
Equipment maintenance, procedures, inductions, quality awareness and onboarding, made as AI training videos for staff, from a single short procedure to a long film in sections. Training videos have their own page: training video production with AI.
Two kinds have pages of their own: equipment maintenance training videos built from photos of the real machinery, and quality awareness training videos with a consistent cast of characters.
Corporate training for staff across a whole business, from onboarding to inductions, is on the corporate training video production page.
Teaching a team how to use AI is a different service, covered on the AI training for business owners page.
Explainer video production
An AI explainer video shows what a product does or how a service works, for a website, a sales meeting or an onboarding email. It uses the same process as a training video at a shorter length. AI product video clips for ads and social posts sit here too: a few seconds of the product in use, made from photos of the real product so the details match.
How an AI video gets made
- Script and shot list. We agree what the video has to show and who will watch it, then I write the narration and list every shot.
- A still for every shot. Each shot starts as one still image, made with AI image models and checked against photos of the real equipment, product or place.
- Clips from the approved stills. Each still is animated into a clip of five to ten seconds. A clip takes several minutes to generate and often needs another go, so this step takes the longest.
- Voice and edit. The narration is recorded with an AI voice and cut so each line lands on the action it describes. Titles and on-screen text are added in the edit.
- Review rounds. You watch a working cut on a private review page and leave notes against the timecode. Each round of notes is fixed until you sign it off.
Current work
Right now I'm producing a nine-minute equipment maintenance training film for an industrial client, built with AI video and voice models and a conventional edit. How that kind of film is built is on the equipment maintenance training videos page. It is in client review, so it isn't shown here yet. I wrote about the tools behind that kind of video in making AI training video with Seedance 2.5 and ElevenLabs V4.
Before AI video I spent fifteen years running my own businesses, including Daniel Bilsborough Photography and DJB Photography School, with a ten-year background in photography and video production. The rest of that story is on the about page.

Making AI videos yourself
Some business owners would rather run AI video content creation in-house. The Claude Code course is half a day on Zoom where you set up your own AI system on your own machine, and generating video is one of the jobs that system can drive. For a wider look at where AI fits across the business, there's AI advisory.
Questions about AI video
Can AI video keep the same characters across a training series?
Yes. Every shot starts as a still image that is checked before it is animated, so the same presenter and location can carry through a whole series. A still that drifts from the character or the real equipment is made again before it becomes a clip.
Can AI video characters talk to each other in a scene?
Characters in the same shot talking to each other is the hardest case for AI video. Scenes like that are built as a sequence of shots, the way a filmed conversation is cut, and each line of the voice track is cut to land on the shot it belongs to.
How long does it take to make a 90-second AI training video?
A 90-second video is roughly nine to eighteen clips of five to ten seconds each. Each clip takes five to ten minutes to generate and often needs another go, and the stills behind them often take several attempts to get the details right. Most of the time goes into the last details, so it depends on how exact the video has to be.
What do I need to supply for an AI training video?
What the video has to show, who will watch it, and photos of the real equipment, product or place. I write the narration and the shot list, the characters are made with AI image models, and the narration is recorded with an AI voice. An existing script can be the starting point.
Can AI video use our own uniforms, equipment and workplace?
Yes, from photos. Each still is checked against photos of the real equipment, product or place before it is animated, so uniforms, machinery and the site are matched to what you send. Product clips are made from photos of the real product so the details match.
How much does AI video production cost?
Every video is quoted against scope. The main factors are the length, the number of shots and how much detail has to be exact, since the last details take the most time.
HeyGen makes a different kind of AI video, built around a presenter speaking to camera. What HeyGen does and where it stops covers it.
