YOUR HERTFORDSHIRE AI VIDEO AGENCY

The video your brand needs — at  AI speed and AI prices.

AI video creation is the practice of producing video content using generative AI tools — text-to-video models like Runway, Veo3, Sora, and Kling, AI avatar platforms like HeyGen and Synthesia, voice cloning tools like ElevenLabs, and AI editing tools like Descript and Topaz Video AI. The result: cinematic-quality video without crews, actors, studios, or reshoots — produced in days instead of weeks, at a fraction of traditional production cost.

UK pricing data is unambiguous. Traditional video production for SMEs runs £3,000-£15,000 per minute with crews and studios. AI video production from Cranberry typically runs £500-£2,500 per finished video — and we deliver in days, not weeks. Most importantly, AI video lets you produce multiple variants for A/B testing: 5 ad creatives instead of 1, 10 social cuts instead of 2, localised versions in English, Arabic, and Urdu from a single brief.

Cranberry Marketing is Hertfordshire’s first dedicated AI video creation service. We produce explainer videos, social ads, product showcases, AI avatar presenters, brand films, lookbooks, music videos, and corporate communications — all engineered with creative direction, voice consistency, and the production polish AI tools alone can’t deliver. Browse our showcase below to see exactly what we make. Or run our free AI Visibility Tool to see how AI-optimised video content fits into a wider AI search strategy.

AI video creation sits in our Visibility pillar. Video is the most engaging content format on every platform — and AI video makes it economically viable to produce at scale, in every language your buyers use.

THE HONEST COMPARISON

AI video vs traditional production. When each one wins.

AI video isn’t right for every brief — and we’ll tell you when traditional production is the better call. Here’s the honest comparison.
What You Get Traditional Video Production AI Video Creation
Cost per finished minute £3,000–£15,000+ £500–£2,500
Turnaround time 3–8 weeks (planning, shoot, edit) 3–10 working days end to end
Crew & equipment Director, DOP, sound, lighting, makeup Just the creative team
Locations & sets Real locations, scouting, permits, travel Any location AI can imagine — generated
Talent & actors Casting, day rates, usage fees AI avatars or voice-only
Variants & A/B testing Re-shoots required 5–10 variants from one brief
Multilingual versions Re-record for each language Voice cloning + translation in days
Visual quality (2026) Highest possible · zero limits Cinematic · still has stylistic limits
Real human emotion Best-in-class · authentic performance Improving fast · still detectable in close-ups
Best for Hero brand films, high-emotion ads, prestige campaigns Volume content, social ads, explainers, multilingual rollouts

The honest take: The two approaches aren't enemies — they're tools for different briefs. A premium hero brand film with real emotional performance still wants traditional production. A 12-variant social ad campaign across 3 languages doesn't. Most clients do both: traditional for the flagship piece, AI for the variants and supporting content. We help you decide which is which.

WHERE AI VIDEO FITS

AI video is the format layer of the Visibility pillar.

Cranberry organises every service around three pillars. AI video creation puts your brand on the format every algorithm rewards — short-form video on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube, and increasingly AI-generated answers themselves.

1. Clarity

FOUNDATION
Brand voice, visual identity, messaging. AI video amplifies whatever clarity already exists — and exposes whatever doesn’t. Foundations come first.

2. Visibility

THE FORMAT THAT WINS
Video drives the highest engagement on every platform. AI video makes that format viable at scale — multiple variants, multiple languages, weekly cadence instead of quarterly.

3. Growth

CONVERT
Video ads convert at 2-3× the rate of static creative on most paid social platforms. AI video makes high-volume video advertising economically viable.
WHY CRANBERRY FOR AI VIDEO

What sets us apart from a self-serve AI video tool.

01

Hertfordshire's first dedicated AI video creation service.

No other Hertfordshire agency offers AI video as a core specialism. London competitors charge London prices. Cranberry delivers cinematic-quality AI video from Hertfordshire — for clients across the UK, USA, KSA, UAE, and Pakistan — without the London markup. The right tool for each shot, every time.

02

Twelve AI tools mastered. One creative team.

Most AI video shops use one or two tools. We use the right tool for each shot — Runway for hero scenes, Veo3 for native-audio realism, Sora for narrative continuity, Kling for product motion, HeyGen for avatars, ElevenLabs for voice, Topaz for finishing — then composite cleanly in post. Tool selection is part of the brief, not an afterthought.

03

Native multilingual.

English (UK + US), Arabic (KSA + UAE), Urdu (Pakistan). Voice cloning preserves presenter voice across languages. Most UK AI video shops are English-only.

04

AI video tied to AI search strategy.

Video is increasingly cited by AI engines themselves — YouTube is rising fast in Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We optimise video for AI extraction, not just engagement. Run free AI Visibility check →

05

Senior creative direction.

Founder Faraz Khan reviews every brief and final cut. AI tools can generate footage; only senior creative direction can give a video a story, a pace, and a brand. We protect that distinction.

TESTIMONIALS

What clients say about working with us.

I am the co-founder of FRX, a Dubai-based Life Science and Biotech company engaging with a wide range of players within the healthcare industry. I have worked with Faraz and the Cranberry Marketing team for our Website Design and Development and they delivered this project in a very efficient and timely manner, carefully analysing and integrating our feedback in the process.

Pauline Ogrodzki
I used Cranberry Marketing for 2 projects which includes website design and development. I'm very pleased with the results as the workflow and communication is great. They are also good value even with additional changes, they did not charge much extra. I recommend them.

Hass
Faraz and Cranberry are the best. We initially appointed them in 2014/2015 to help redesign our corporate branding. They did a wonderful job that was fresh, crisp and in line with our vision. They then went on to design our website as well, which they have redesigned several times since. They are intensely focused and take their work commitments very seriously. If you’re looking for a team that will deliver your vision and be a long time partner and solution, Cranberry is that team.

Saad
Our company had used the services of cranberry for 5 years: hosting and emails. Their support was great and attended to our tech issues (though little) promptly.

Still have questions? Book a call →

What is AI video creation?
AI video creation is the practice of producing video content using generative AI tools — text-to-video models like Runway Gen-4, Veo 3, Sora, and Kling AI; AI avatar platforms like HeyGen and Synthesia; voice cloning tools like ElevenLabs; and AI editing tools like Descript and Topaz Video AI. The result is cinematic-quality video without crews, actors, studios, or reshoots — typically delivered in days rather than weeks, at a fraction of traditional production cost.
Twelve core tools, picked per shot: Runway Gen-4, Veo 3, Sora, Kling, Pika, Luma Dream Machine for text-to-video and image-to-video; HeyGen and Synthesia for AI avatar presenters; ElevenLabs for voice cloning and synthesis; Adobe Firefly for commercial-safe imagery; Topaz Video AI for upscaling and finishing; Descript for transcript-based editing. Tool selection is part of the brief — different formats need different engines.
Cranberry AI videos start at £450 for a 15-30 second social ad, £750 for a 30-90 second explainer, £600 for an AI avatar presenter video, £150 per SKU for ecommerce product videos, and £1,500+ for cinematic brand films. Multilingual versions add £250 per language. For comparison, traditional UK video production typically runs £3,000-£15,000 per minute. Every project is fixed-fee — no hourly billing surprises.
Most projects deliver in 3-10 working days end to end — brief, script, AI generation, voice, edit, delivery. Short social ads can deliver in 3-5 days. Longer brand films and multilingual rollouts typically take 7-10 days. Compare with traditional video production timelines of 3-8 weeks. Faster turnaround is one of AI video’s biggest unlocks.
For most use cases — yes. AI-generated video in 2026 is cinematic-quality and indistinguishable from traditional production for explainers, ads, product videos, and corporate content. Where traditional production still wins is in real human emotional performance — close-up acted scenes, prestige hero brand films with subtle facial expression. We’ll tell you honestly which approach fits your brief. Many clients use both: traditional for the flagship piece, AI for variants and supporting content.
Yes — natively. Cranberry’s team operates in English (UK + US), Arabic (KSA + UAE), and Urdu (Pakistan). Voice cloning via ElevenLabs preserves the original presenter’s voice across languages. Synthesia supports 140+ languages for AI avatar content. The same brief can deliver in 3 languages within the same timeline as 1 — a massive unlock for UK + GCC + Pakistan campaigns.
Yes. AI inpainting, video-to-video, and post-production VFX let us extend, enhance, or repurpose existing footage. Common use cases: extending a short clip to fill a longer time slot, replacing backgrounds, swapping products, removing distractions, applying stylised AI overlays, or generating new scenes that intercut with original footage. Your existing brand assets aren’t wasted — they get amplified.
Yes — that’s the entire point of senior creative direction. Every project starts with brand reference assets (colours, fonts, voice, tone, visual references). Founder Faraz reviews script, storyboard, and final cut for brand integrity. AI tools generate footage; only senior creative direction gives a video a brand identity. Most generic AI video looks generic precisely because it skips this step. We don’t.

Increasingly, yes. YouTube is rising fast as a citation source for Google AI Overviews and Perplexity — videos with proper transcripts and chapter markers get extracted into AI answers. We optimise AI video for both human engagement AND AI extraction: structured transcripts, on-screen text, schema markup (VideoObject), platform-specific format variants. Run our free AI Visibility Tool to see how video fits into a wider AI search strategy.

You do — fully. Cranberry transfers full commercial usage rights of every finished video on delivery, including all variants, language versions, and source files. We use commercial-safe AI tools (Adobe Firefly’s IP-clear training data, Runway’s commercial license, etc.) so there are no licensing surprises. Music is either custom-composed, royalty-free licensed, or licensed for the specific usage you need.

Strongest fits: SaaS and software explainers, social media ads requiring multiple variants, ecommerce product videos generated from catalogues, internal training and onboarding, multilingual campaigns, conceptual or futuristic visualisations hard to film traditionally, and property/architectural visualisation. Less strong fits: prestige brand films requiring subtle emotional performance, content with strict factual visual accuracy (e.g., detailed legal compliance documentation), and projects where existing brand-licensed talent must appear.

Runway Gen-4 is the industry standard — strong motion control, cinematic quality, our default for most hero scenes. Veo 3 (Google) generates native audio alongside video and excels at realism. Sora (OpenAI) handles long-form scene continuity and rich environments — best for narrative brand films. Kling AI excels at character consistency and product motion. We pick per shot rather than committing to one tool.
In 2026 — yes, for most use cases. HeyGen and Synthesia avatars are close to photoreal, particularly when paired with natural-sounding voice (ElevenLabs voice cloning). They work well for B2B explainers, training content, internal comms, and product demos. They are still detectable in extended close-up scenes with high emotional content — so we use them where they shine and avoid them where they don’t.
Yes — every project includes a full audio pass. Voiceover via ElevenLabs voice cloning or licensed talent. Music either custom-composed (using Suno or licensed composers), or licensed from royalty-free libraries. Sound design, mixing, and mastering all included. The audio polish is what separates broadcast-quality AI video from generic AI video — and it’s never an afterthought in our workflow.
