How much does commercial production cost in NYC?
A professional 30-second spot with a full crew, casting, and post-production typically runs $10,000 to $50,000, according to Simulmedia. A Velora AI commercial costs $1,500 to $8,000 because there is no crew or shoot day. Starter covers one 15- or 30-second spot, and Campaign Suite covers every length and platform cut.
What is AI commercial production?
AI commercial production makes a scripted video ad with AI-generated visuals and an AI voiceover instead of a camera crew and a shoot day. Velora Media writes the script, builds the visuals and motion graphics around your brand, records the voiceover, and delivers the finished spot cut to the length and format each channel needs.
Can an AI commercial run on NYC TV and streaming?
Yes. Velora commercials are delivered broadcast-ready, with exports optimized for each platform. TV stations and streaming services each have their own technical specs and ad review, so tell us where you plan to air it, whether that is local New York TV, streaming, YouTube, or social, and we will export to match.
Is an AI commercial cheaper than a NYC video production company?
Usually, yes. A local production company typically costs $3,000 to $15,000 for a crew, camera, and edit. Velora's AI commercials start at $1,500 because there is no location, crew, or casting to book. The tradeoff is that some subjects are harder for AI to render well, so we write scripts around what works.
How long does it take to make an AI commercial?
Timing depends on your plan and how many formats you need, and we confirm the schedule on your kickoff call. Rush production is available if you are working to a launch date or a seasonal deadline, so tell us the date and we will plan the whole production around it.
Will it look obviously AI?
That depends on the concept. Some styles read as clearly produced, and some subjects are harder for AI to render well, so we write scripts around what the tools do convincingly. We will show relevant samples on the call so you can judge the quality before you commit.
How many revisions do I get?
Starter includes one revision round. Full Production and Campaign Suite include two. A round means you send all of your changes together, in one list, and we deliver an updated cut. Collecting feedback from your team before you send it keeps each round focused and the schedule on track.
What do I need to provide?
Tell us what you sell, who you want to reach, and any offer or deadline, and send your logo and brand colors. You do not need a script, footage, or a studio, because we write the script and build the visuals for you from scratch.
Do you make commercials for NYC restaurants, shops, and service businesses?
Yes. Velora makes AI commercials for New York restaurants running menu launches and specials, shops and product brands that need product videos, practices and clinics, and local service businesses like trades and auto body shops. Agencies also use Velora to produce ads for their own clients. Each spot is built around one offer.
Do you work with business owners outside Manhattan?
Yes. Velora Media is based in Manhattan and makes AI commercials for business owners in all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Because there is no film shoot, nothing has to happen at your location, and the free consultation is booked online at a time that suits you.
What is the difference between an AI commercial and an AI social video?
An AI commercial is a scripted 15-, 30-, or 60-second spot built to run on TV, streaming, YouTube, or social, priced from $1,500. An AI social video is a platform-native short clip for Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, with burned-in captions and hook-first pacing, priced from $500.
Can Velora run the ads too?
Yes. Paid Media Management covers Meta, Google, and LinkedIn campaigns for $1,500 to $6,000 a month, depending on how many channels you run. Ad spend is billed separately from the management fee. For a New York business, campaigns can be targeted by zip code or radius, so the commercial reaches the neighborhoods you serve.
